Bento... The new personal database from FileMaker that’s as easy to use as a Mac. Bento organizes all your important information in one place, so you can manage your contacts, coordinate events, track projects, prioritize tasks, and more — faster and easier than ever before.
- Bring It All Together: From contacts and calendars, to projects and events, you can organize just about every type of information you have — all from one place.
- See Things Your Way: Just drag and drop or point and click to change the look of any form, and see information in a way that makes sense to you. Now seeing, searching, and sorting your information is simpler and faster than ever before
- Designed For Leopard: Bento has direct links to the Mac OS X Address Book and iCal, and takes advantage of many new features of Leopard, including core animation, advanced find, Time Machine, backups, and multimedia features.

Didn't seem to be much more than an AddressBook and iCal skin to me. Sure you can organize small household projects but it's limited.
BENTO ROCKS!
It's a nice, simple database app. Granted, it's not as powerful as mySQL or FileMaker, but it's good for someone who doesn't know much about DBs, or just someone who wants some simple get-it-done stuff. And as a nice little benefit: you can export to a CSV file, which most apps can open (including OpenOffice.org if I remember correctly).
I looked at it briefly, and moved on. A master collection of databases tied to one computer is not going to cut it anymore. It might be useful for someone to catalog their shoe collection, recipes, or other inert (dead) data.
This is a pretty nice app. It has the potential to replace several single applications while enhancing some built into OSX (like AddressBook and iCal).
