I disagree with some comments in the reviews here suggesting that this is something easy to do with a simple script. Simply setting a chron job with a sync script does nothing to check proximity, or when you synced last (thus avoiding needless syncing) and even if you could write something to do all of this, 6 bucks is a deal for the time it would take. Proximity sync worked great on my T68i as well as my P900 and gives me good flexibility to keep my stuff synced. I just set it and have forgotten about it since before I get into my office, most times Proximity Sync has already connected and synced my data. This is great for people with multiple macs and dotMac. it is set to sync again before I leave at the end of the day and I am always sure I have all my appointments and contacts etc. Good work Brad and keep it up.

I'm sorry to hear that you are fed up with micro-payment "cripple ware". Thanks for choosing my forum to release your pent-up anger... I hope it helped!
At any rate, ProximitySync is not "cripple ware" - it is fully functional for you to try out. If you like it and want to continue using it, then please pay for it. If you don't like it, then don't pay for it or use it. Simple really.
Honestly, a lot of work went into ProximitySync and it provides much more functionality than the single solution your instructions attempt to address. There is no way that anyone could write a program that does what ProximitySync does "in 5 minutes". Far from it, in fact. Some people want that extra functionality and would rather pay $6 for it than spend countless hours trying to hack something together. I know that, if the choice had been available to me - especially given what I know now - I would have jumped at it. I'm not getting rich off this, trust me. I'm just trying to justify some of the time I've invested. I've got a solution that I, and many other people, are happy to have and that means a lot more to me.
Best Regards
Brad

Look, I'm absolustely fed up with micropayment cripple ware. a simple app like should be free. period. i'm not going to give you $6 just because you saved me 5 minutes to write an apple script and create a cron job.
and for those who want to pay for this, here's how to sync your phone once a night for free.
open apple's script editor, and make an apple script with this:
tell application "iSync"
activate
synchronize
repeat while syncing
end repeat
quit
end tell
save this as a file (sync.scpt) wherever you like
open terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and run the command 'crontab -e' to edit your cron file, which lets you set actions with dates.
add this line to the file:
0 3 * * * osascript ~/Documents/syncscript.scpt
Replacing ~/Documents/syncscript.scpt with wherever you put your script. the 3 means 3am. you can change that to any 0-23 hour you like. the 0 is the minutes. this can be set to 0-59. the last *s just mean every day, month, and year (in other words daily)
save and exit, then you're done.
