Well priced, well connected to do app **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rob T. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** RTM collects my to dos and lets me manage them effectively. Available everywhere. Tags and lists let you slice and dice anyway you see fit. Smart lists are a very powerful way of creating the lists of the things you need to know. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** Email import doesn't work well from gmail. Not as many integrations as other to do lists. No organisations so everyone has to buy their own. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Give it a go and learn the 'command line' rather than relying on clicks. Once you know the basics I doubt there is a quicker way to get tasks out of your head. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** To do list management and task sharing. We know what needs done and we can give tasks to each other. ### 2. Task Management Must Have **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Heather R. | Revenue Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2017 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** I like being able to separate task lists by category, date, and location depending on what I'm doing. The flexibly is really helpful. RTM has continued to improve over time. I am a long time user and would be lost without it. I really like the occurrence feature to be able to set a task for a frequency when needed. The reminders are also very helpful and have saved me a few times. Also, the teams feature has been a huge improvement. You can now easily assign tasks and quickly communicate on the project. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** I don't have many dislikes. I do hope it will continue to expand the offerings and make it easier for groups to utilize. It would be great to see some additional integrations to make it easier for teams to adopt. The calendar and email integrations are helpful, but more project based software would be a game changer. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Try the free version out. After a couple days you'll see why it is worth paying for, but the paid version has some great features like the auto sync so you can use the browser and app and aren't stuck on just one platform. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** Staying organized and better managing tasks are the main problems it has helped solve. The benefits have been seen in how I manage my day and better manage my time now. RTM has continued to helped improve productivity and being able to complete projects and tasks on time. ### 3. Great Place To Keep Track of To-Do List **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lindsay S. | Account Executive, Public Relations and Communications, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** I like that I can access my to-do list on any device, every task can have a due date, and I can sort and search through tasks on the list. It's free. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** There are some features you would have to pay for, such as viewing old tasks that were completed a while ago, which would sometimes be handy. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** It's free, so give it a try and see if it helps you organize your to-do list. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can be somewhat disorganized when it comes to my to-do list at work. Remember the Milk keeps me on track and I'm no longer relying on random bits of paper and post-it notes around my desk. In the morning, it even emails me the tasks due today. ### 4. Best project management software out there **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** It's easy to use. Intuitive. It exports to a printed checklist for Luddites, and attaches files for digital natives. It's simple but powerful. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** I really don't think there's anything I dislike about this app. I have used it for about four years and I adore it. I suppose I like free things, but I think it's priced well too. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Highly recommend the paid version. It's 100% worth it. If your collaborator can't adapt to the smartphone or desktop app, they should just print the lists. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't enjoy nagging my direct reports. It's great that they can control their own reminder schedules. I also don't have to argue about documentation or misconceptions, because everything is visible right away. There's no way to be confused about who is doing what. ### 5. Phenomenal task management/to do list **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephanie S. | Program Manager II - Account Management, Strategic Planning, Project Management, Education, Content, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2017 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** I can...access from my phone, laptop and work computer and it syncs effortlessly; create different lists to keep work and personal stuff separate; use tags to easily view tasks related to the same project all in one place; set a date to start working on something (this was a feature that other apps lacked), set a priority; estimate the time it will take to complete each task; set recurring tasks; quickly add all the details of each task with keyboard shortcuts; view what's due today, tomorrow and in the upcoming week; create smart lists to see what I need to start today or in the next few days or see only tasks that take a certain amount of time to complete; search for tasks; and get reminder emails or texts for tasks. I also find it quite cool that RTM will tell me how much time my tasks will take for each list and each day (based on my individual estimates). By the way, I get all of the above on the free version! **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** The app isn't equipped to handle traveling to other time zones. Whenever I travel to another time zone (behind my home time) all my due dates switch to a day early (which can become quite confusing). It seems the browser version doesn't have this issue, just the app. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Go for it! I compared and tested A LOT of task management apps and websites before choosing RTM. Two main things RTM has that other apps don't are: ability to access and sync from multiple devices (app and web browser) and set start dates for tasks. There is so much more to love about it though. You can't go wrong giving it a try. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** I wish I had started using RTM sooner! It has made managing my tasks so much easier and I am much more productive and efficient now. ### 6. My GTD app since forever **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Larry C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 08, 2018 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** Cross-platform Getting Things Done personal-productivity-manager that just works (and has for a long time). **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** Moving or promoting subtasks gets confusing **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it to manage all of my to-do's in my attempt at implementing Getting Things Done. ### 7. Quick and Easy To-Do App **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Translation and Localization | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** The interface is very simple. You can navigate between different views easily and because of the shortcuts, there is rarely a need to add additional details after the initial task creation. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** Almost nothing! At times it can be a little simplistic. It would be nice to see a little more in the way of UI, but the app is definitely headed in the right direction. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** If you're someone who likes shortcuts, this is a great app. Lots of "super-use" shortcuts make adding tasks simple and fast. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy to use with many shortcuts. This app really does what it promises. ### 8. Remembering your life **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sem v. | Online Musicpreneur, Music, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2017 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** The many ways in which you can use it, very flexible. And that they're listening to their community of users. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** The one thing I really miss in RTM is that you can't use it like aKanban board, like for example Trello. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** By using RTM we never forget something important. Plus it's very easy to make a distinction between important and less important and urgent and non-urgent ### 9. Better organizer **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** Easy to use when organizing tasks. Visualization of these tasks make the action processes easier. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** Lack of compatibility with gmail. Labelling is not as easy as it could be using another tools. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Expect this tool to be useful when sync to your smartphone app **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** Organizing task lists, prioritizing activities and syncronizing with smartphone apps ### 10. Great tool for individual task management **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2017 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** Ease of use, intuitive interface, and simple aesthetics. Great synchronicity with mobile and desktop apps as well as browser version. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** Although it creates notifications, I've found them somewhat inconsistent at times. As a result I created some fallbacks for important tasks whereby I also get an email and/or text message when those are due. That's overkill, so I wish I were more confident about the consistency of RTM's native notifications. RTM has shared tasks and delegation features, but they're not as intuitive or robust as other systems. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** If you're looking for an individual task management solution, RTM is a strong one to consider. If you need to manage a team's tasks, however, think through the way RTM uses delegation because it won't likely be your strongest option for teams. It does, however, allow you to assign tasks and share them with some set up. Those features are not as intuitive or robust as its core functionality. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** RTM is one of the best task or to-do management systems I've used. Its smartphone app is outstanding and its quick-add shortcuts save a lot of time when added a task once you learn them. RTM's design is simple, super functional, but also beautiful in its simplicity. Over the years I've created Agenda lists to bring up items with people I'm meeting with and it can easily work well with a range of task management methodologies, like Getting Things Done (GTD). ### 11. Remember the Milk Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2017 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** I love that this product allows me to recieve reminders of tasks via email, text and pretty much everywhere! **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** The cost of the product to upgrade to the pro account. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was using this on a daily basis to keep track and sort tasks/due dates. ### 12. An Interesting Approach to To-Do Lists **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2017 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** I think the simplicity of Remember The Milk is what's special about it. It's easy to understand what tasks I need to accomplish and what's left. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** There are certain features that are lacking, which could potential increase productivity. **What problems is Remember the Milk solving and how is that benefiting you?** Organizing tasks and managing teams. It's also a personal productivity tool. ### 13. Excellent service/app with great integration with iOS and iGoogle **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel L. | President and COO, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 19, 2013 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** It has the ability to email yourself a new reminder, which is really handy and quick. It also has a very nice (free) iPod app and Google gadget for iGoogle. It is very intuitive and easily conforms to the GTD methodology. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** I had some issues syncing my iOS app and my wife's iOS app for the same Remember the Milk account. I'd love to have it integrate with Outlook tasks, but that might be asking too much for a free service/app. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Definitely give a try and read the help documents to get some tips & tricks ### 14. Nice little online task management tool **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eugene C. | Partner, Venture Capital & Private Equity, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2012 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** It's a nice little online task management tool, it's free, and it allows you to organize tasks by Inbox, Personal, Study, Work, Sent, All Tasks...There's also an easy way to organize/filter by when things are due **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** Sharing tasks and lists is possible but requires that you add the other person as a contact (and then they also need to be a RTM user -- which may be more unlikely) **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** This is a good tool and can be very helpful -- but I've got lots of online task lists and note taking applications on my mobile. It's hard to distinguish this one beyond those but it does have good basic, free features. There's integration with RSS/Atom and it can also generate a link to add calendar to a google calendar. Not bad overall ### 15. On-Line Task Management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rusty P. | Senior Director of Global Operations and Quality, Medical Devices, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2012 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** Remember the Milk helps me stay on task. Calendar items work well, but they don't always meet the need. So I use Remember The Milk for everything--I create a task on my computer, Android phones or tablets and they sync throughout. It sends me reminder emails, pop-up alerts and helps me trend on how late I am on some of my stuff. It is very well designed and meets my needs. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** I wish I could share tasks with other users. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Start with the free version, then look at buying the free one. ### 16. Decent Task Management Tool **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael F. | Senior Technical Account Manager, Team Lead, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2012 **What do you like best about Remember the Milk?** It worked, and I was temporarily pleased with it. **What do you dislike about Remember the Milk?** Lack of sharing ability, it needs to be more intuitive and less guessing/troubleshooting it to work. **Recommendations to others considering Remember the Milk:** Free is good! ## Remember the Milk Discussions - [Is Remember The Milk Pro worth it?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-remember-the-milk-pro-worth-it) - [How do you use Remember The Milk with?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-use-remember-the-milk-with) - [What does Remember The Milk do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-does-remember-the-milk-do) - [Does Remember The Milk have a desktop app?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/does-remember-the-milk-have-a-desktop-app) - [View Remember the Milk pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/remember-the-milk/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+17%3A54%3A18+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=dd8cce66-4357-455f-9453-712bd7b2ba5f&secure%5Btoken%5D=8125c88a7e97ab2cd274c9ffc331a5998d57ab7dadd16e4eecd46a6cc3dd7c51&format=llm_user) ## Remember the Milk Features **Task Creation** - Creation & Assignment - Due Dates - Drag & Drop - Mass Updates **Task Management** - Task Prioritization - To-Do Lists - Dependencies - Recurring Tasks **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization ## Top Remember the Milk Alternatives - [Todoist](https://www.g2.com/products/todoist/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (819 reviews) - [TickTick](https://www.g2.com/products/ticktick/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (111 reviews) - [Trello](https://www.g2.com/products/trello/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (13,626 reviews)
