The Infolog desktop client is the desktop companion of Egroupware Infolog. It is a small program to keep track of your notes, todo’s and phone calls. The program normally sits hidden in your system tray. By clicking on it, your notes, todo’s and phone calls are painted on your desktop as colored sticky notes. It can be used on any desktop with a Java Runtime Environment, version 7 or higher.
Infolog Android provides this functionality for Android devices. It can be used on any Android device running Android 2.3 and higher.
Though the clients are supposed to run in conjunction with an Egroupware installation, the clients are perfectly usable as a standalone programs. When you want to synchronize the clients with Egroupware, you also have to configure the server program. Clients can synchronize with this server which synchronizes with Egroupware Infolog. See the Egroupware website for further information about Egroupware Infolog. Infolog is written in Java and released under the Gnu Public License.

Hello
I have tried the program, but keep getting an error that I cannot login using these credentials. I am using a valid user/pass along with trying https & different encrypt setting. I am using EGW 1.8CE, with public IP and no router/firewall between client PC and server
It is pretty hard to tell what is wrong with so little information. I would like to help, but you will have to tell me more about your situation. At this moment my first question would be, are you aware of the fact that you need to run a dedicated server program for this? You cannot login with the client on a standard Egw server.
