Conroe

If you are a busy person, you surely know how important it is to create a strict schedule and stay organized. While sometimes needed, using more than one calendar to track events and meetings is not recommended. Fortunately, an application such as Conroe can synchronize with various online calendars to keep track of all your scheduled events in a single place.

Conroe is easily deployed and does not require detailed usage instructions. Once installed, you will notice a new icon in the system tray, where the application resides.

A daily calendar is displayed near the systray; this is where all your future appointments and events will be shown once the synchronization process is complete.

But before the sync operation can begin, you must, obviously, configure the calendars Conroe will sync to. To do so, you must navigate to the "Options" window.

The list of calendars can be quickly populated with ICS iCalendars or iNotes Web calendars. The first category includes Google Calendar, Outlook.com and iCloud, while the latter enables you to import data from IBM Notes iCloud.

Depending on your choice, you will have to provide the address of the ICS or the iCal file, which is not difficult to find. The ICS web address for your Google Calendar, Outlook.com, and iCloud calendars can be found by clicking on the corresponding link.

Conroe makes it easier for you to manage your calendars and build your schedule. With support for ICS iCalendars and iNotes Web, it allows you to gather all the events in your calendars to a single place and get alerted about upcoming events, so you don't miss any of them. And while this approach is, indeed, handy and comfortable, note that this application does not provide the full functionality you find in the online calendars you are syncing.
