CalTalk: Sharing calendars over Bonjour
CalTalk is a helpful app that enables the sharing of iCal calendars over a local network using the Bonjour protocol built into Mac OS X 10.
You can share iPhoto and iTunes like this out of the box.
CalTalk lets you add iCal to the list, just as Address-o-Matic adds the same option for Address Book.
After launch, the app resents you with a window containing two panes:
The second window allows you specify which calendars to share.
The first window shows you your network and the available users. Mine’s blank because my Mac is on the only computer in the house that is switched on.
A Preferences window allows you set further options, including which port you want to use, security settings and so on.
CalTalk is donation-ware and is available from the developer’s web site 
.

Love this app. My wife and I use it to share our respective calendars. Would like to have something that allows us to edit a single, shared calendar, though.

Me too!
I’d be very glad to know if you find anything.

Okay, here it is: iSynCal.

Lousy name, great product. Bought it today after using for two days. You select a calendar or calendars to sync between two Macs, give it a schedule, and iSynCal mounts the remote volume, quits iCal (if running) and makes the necessary changes to both calendar files.
Documentation could be better, and that name…

CalTalk seems to be MIA, does anyone have it laying around? I really need it a work!
I would be forever grateful!

the developer web site seems dissolved in nothing…
where has it gone?
no way to find it again online.

Hmmm…. The web site loads OK for me. Perhaps it’s worth trying again?

yes… it was a temp blackout, which of course affected all links to the download.
:-)
It’s a great s/w for small business or organisations…
well done!
