Take Backpack offline with Packrat

Backpack

is the online organizational tool by 37 Signals that makes it super easy to keep track of your stuff. You can even have several people collaborate on a given project, all on their own time schedules. It's pretty useful and well executed (I've been using it for a while now). But what if you want to take your data offline? Check out Packrat.

Once Packrat has downloaded all of your data, your pages look much like they do online. From here you an add tags, edit information and so on. Once you're back online, synchronize the changes you made with your Backpack account. Simple and easy.

Packrat requires Mac OS X 10.4 and higher, plus a Backpack account (but you knew that). A demo is available, and a single license will run you $24.95US. Incidentally, the creator of Packrat is looking for an artist to create a nice application icon. If your design is selected, you'll receive a free lifetime license.
