Daylite runs on top of the OpenBase database server.  In the single- 
user mode the database runs as a separate background application; in  
the case of multiple clients, you stick the database on a separate  
server, and can take advantage of the shared calendar, resource  
scheduler, and project management. Your supposed to be able to create  
a copy of the main database in your laptop when you go on a trip, and  
then sync the changes back, but I haven't used those features.

My favorite feature is how it automatically assigns emails to  
projects, so if I'm exchanging calls and emails with a client with a  
dozen employees, all of the emails, notes, and tasks on that project  
are grouped together in the project management view.

There's even a plug-in architecture if you want to extend the  
functionality.
