If you have a team to manage, I bet you’re using 37signals’ Basecamp to keep everything under strict control yet enabling every single component of your team access the app and keep you updated about his tasks. Yeah, that’s exactly the greatest selling point of Basecamp, and the reason why thousands of people around the world use it on a daily basis. MacStories is no exception to that.

But on the other hand, I guess you also have a GTD application sitting in your dock, just because you find the GTD method comfortable and suitable to your needs. You’ve gotten used to it, and migrating everything to Basecamp just wouldn’t feel right. Maybe you even created a few team projects inside it, and now you’re unsure whether they should go into Basecamp as well?

Now, if you use both Basecamp and Omnifocus, there’s a solution. There’s a web service for that, and it’s called Spootnik.

Spootnik is, basically, a WebDAV server that enables you to a) sync your Omnifocus databasea across multiple devices just like you would do with MobileMe and b) sync Basecamp projects with Omnifocus, letting you work with them from the desktop within Omnifocus. Your personal stuff is synced and doesn’t appear in Basecamp, the Basecamp projects you pick up are synced and updated back and forth between the BC and Omnifocus. It couldn’t be any simpler.

Once you’ve signed up for an account and authorized the access to Basecamp, you just have to choose with projects you want to be synced, and if any other project before that date should be automatically synced too. Depending on the account you choose refresh times may vary, but the process will be reliable and fast no matter what your plan is.

Please keep in mind that the greatest thing about Spootnik is that changes are bilateral, whatever changes on Basecamp, so does in Omnifocus and vice versa. The service also comes with a neat dashboard widget to keep track of the last sync and force a new one.

To me, Spootnik is a must have everyday utility. If you’re in my same situation (using both Basecamp and Omnifocus) you should definitely give it a try. Last, you can save 20% off your initial bill by using this coupon code. A 30-day free trial is included.
