Accomplice helps busy experts like you manage your to-dos, goals, and notes, then sync them with your team.
Accomplice's patented desktop program provides an easy, portable Activity Management system that organizes all the things you need to get done, and synchronizes them with your team. The program features a "smart" task list and cross-linked notebook, plugged into a secure peer-to-peer network. Activities (goals and to-dos) can be sub-tasked, prioritized, scheduled, delegated, and tracked. Supporting information can be turned into notes and linked to activities. It can integrate with Outlook or other email systems if you want it to (e.g. turn emails into trackable activities), sync to your PDA cell phone, integrate with other program too. Delegation is as easy as email, but much more impactful. Accomplice can be installed directly on a Windows PC, or on a U3 Smart USB flash drive for portability between Windows PCs. And it all works on- and off-line, without any technical support staff involvement.
At Accomplice, we believe in giving you program that's as simple to use as possible - and no simpler. You can start by just listing your to-dos, but rest assured there's a lot more power under the hood when you need it

* Turn emails into actions With Accomplice, you can keep a balanced perspective on which emails truly deserve to be on your to-do-list, which ones can safely be deferred to come on your plate later, and which ones can be filed away so you can spend your time doing what's really important, not just what's at the top of your Inbox.
