Remember the Milk. Check your list
Of all the online personal to-do lists, I think Remember the Milk does a lot right.
- Easy. Very.
- The interface is fast, crisp and clean.
- Individual lists or a weekly calendar can be printed.
- Tasks can be prioritized with eye-catching colorful indicators.
- Multiple lists can be created. As many as one wants.
Lists are presented on individual tabs. Tasks are listed in order of date and/or priority on each tab. Lists and tasks can be shared with other RTM users.
The right navigation panel holds additional information on the focused item. For a list, it shows the number of tasks, the number due, and the number complete. It also includes the ability to print the list, connect the list to an iCalendar and an ATOM feed for the list. For individual tasks, the panel shows due date, time estimate, tags, url, notes plus a few others.
By using tags, users can further define their tasks. For a list called “House Projects”, each task could be tagged with the particular room the task is to take place.
One other key piece of functionality is the extensive use of keyboard shortcuts. With the ajaxy world upon us, this kind of feature is coming to the web in full force. It seems like a small thing, but once keyboard shortcuts are learned they are far quicker than using a mouse.

Here’s why I think RTM sucks: it’s unreliable. After deciding I needed a weekly reminder, I decided to compare RTM and PingMe around 6 months ago. I set up 2 repeating tasks on each, my regular Thursday task and a daily reminder that would indicate to me whether the services were reliable and trustworthy. PingMe has worked flawlessly. RTM stopped sending me the daily reminder after 4 days. Their weekly reminder continued to work, though, until a couple weeks ago when it suddenly stopped. When I tried to get help from RTM, all I got was a BS automated response, no actual help or acknowledgment of a problem. When I had a problem with PingMe’s interface, they responded to my query with help, an apology, and thanks for pointing out their instructions had been unclear.
