Chrync: Beta testers wanted

[dmehers]

If you use Google Chrome on your desktop (any OS) and Windows Phone, please consider beta testing the next release of Chrync which syncs Chrome to your Phone. The app works by talking the Chrome sync protocol to Google's servers directly, just like Chrome itself does. There is no Chrome extension to install to make it work.

The current version of this app syncs down your Chrome Bookmarks, recently viewed URLs, and open browser sessions.

The next release (which needs beta testers) will also support syncing down your saved passwords, and it will work if you have enabled encryption of all synced data. It also supports pinning bookmarks and bookmark folders.

If you'd be willing to beta test the next release please email me at damian@chrync.com

The current release is available as an unlimited trial : here

It launches IE as a separate app, although I might consider embedding IE within the app so that you could select a web site and have it automatically log you in to the site using your saved user name and password. In the next release your'll be able to list your sites/users and copy your associated passwords, kind of like in Chrome: chrome://settings/passwords

I sent you email yesterday about beta testing.

I like the idea of launching IE as separate app but if you do embed it, should be good to. Would it be possible for the user to decide the option?

Got it thanks - I'll let you know when the beta is ready. I'm very busy with my day job, so it probably won't be until the weekend.

I like the idea of making it user-configurable. Perhaps for a future release!

Hey! I want to sync my Chrome bookmarks on my Lumia 950 but cant find the app in the store?

Is it just for US perhaps? Maybe someone has any alternatives? I Dont have a windows 10 PC to sync.
