Remember The Milk for iPhone

You'll need iOS 11 or later (learn how to upgrade). The app won't work on previous versions of the iOS software, sorry.

Just click on this link to open the App Store and download the app.

Alternatively, you can open the App Store app on your iPhone, and search for Remember The Milk.

Yes, if you happen to own more than one device (e.g., an iPod touch as well as an iPhone), you're welcome to install the app on both devices. If you've upgraded to Pro, both devices access the one Pro account. Push syncing helps to keep the tasks on each device in sync; changes that you make to your Remember The Milk tasks on one device will sync up with the other devices so you're up-to-date.

Please see the instructions available from Apple if you need to uninstall or reinstall the app.

Yes! Most screens work in landscape mode too. Just flip your device to landscape to try it out.

Yes! The app supports fast app switching, the iOS feature that allows you to quickly switch between recently used apps.

Yes! All the artwork in our app has been recreated to take advantage of the beautiful Retina display.

Yes! The app has full support for VoiceOver, the iPhone's gesture-based screen reader.

The app is divided into "cards". When viewing a list or a task, there is a card for each; these will stack atop one another. It's then possible to slide these cards left and right to continue navigating.

Just try it out by tapping and sliding around the app!

Note: When trying to navigate from a task list back to the side menu, swipe from the left edge of the screen to the right. The left edge of the screen is reserved for this motion, even if there's a task underneath.

Once you've drilled down your tasks further (for example, by going to Lists then Personal then tapping on a task), to get back to the top level:

1. Swipe from left to right to navigate back card by card.
2. To navigate all the way back (in this example, back to Lists) you can swipe along the top of the screen.

Your device communicates with our servers using a secure HTTPS connection to transfer both login details and tasks data. HTTPS is a secure protocol that provides authenticated and encrypted communication.

1. Navigate to the Settings screen by tapping its icon in the upper left.
2. Tap the Schedule or Sync fields and select your preference.

With the app set to auto sync, the app will:

1. Automatically sync with Remember The Milk when it launches or becomes active (for instance, after the device has been in sleep mode).
2. Wait several seconds after you've made a change, then automatically begin syncing with Remember The Milk.
3. Receive changes from Remember The Milk (e.g. in the web app or other services) after several seconds.
4. Periodically sync around every 5 minutes while the app is open.

When the app syncs, any changes you've made back to Remember The Milk, and checks for any changes from Remember The Milk too. If you don't want to wait for the auto sync, you can manually sync by tapping the sync icon at any time.

No problem! You can continue using the app, just as you normally would. If you have the app set to 'auto' sync, once the Internet connection is available again, the app will attempt its auto sync as scheduled.

That depends on how many tasks you have in your Remember The Milk account! If you're using an iPhone and have a lot of tasks in Remember The Milk already, you might wish to set up the app using a Wi-Fi connection (rather than your phone's mobile connection) to speed things up.

The initial sync needs to transfer all your tasks and notes from Remember The Milk to your device. To make things a little faster, by default it will only transfer completed tasks going one month back. If you'd like to change this setting, once you're set up you can find this option on the Settings screen.

Third-party apps currently can't run in the background on the iPhone or iPod touch, so the app isn't able to sync once it's closed.

However, we have a bunch of features that ensure your tasks are always up-to-date when you're using the app. When set to 'auto' sync, the app will:

1. Automatically sync with Remember The Milk when it launches or becomes active (for instance, after the device has been in sleep mode).
2. Wait several seconds after you've made a change, then automatically begin syncing with Remember The Milk.
3. Receive changes from Remember The Milk (e.g. in the web app or other services) after several seconds.
4. Periodically sync around every 5 minutes while the app is open.

When the app syncs, any changes you've made back to Remember The Milk, and checks for any changes from Remember The Milk too. If you don't want to wait for the auto sync, you can manually sync by tapping the sync icon at any time.

While the iPhone app doesn't currently support setting up sharing with other users, if you have already shared a list via the website, the list will continue to be shared when accessed with the iPhone app. So, once you make changes to shared tasks on your device and sync them with Remember The Milk, the person who you're sharing with on Remember The Milk will get your changes too.

Smart Lists are special lists that are created based on criteria that you define, and are automatically updated as your tasks change.

For example, you can create Smart Lists that only show:

• Tasks due in the upcoming month
• Tasks with no due date
• Tasks that are more than one week overdue
• Tasks that have been completed in the past week
• Tasks with high priority
• Tasks with time estimates less than 1 hour
• Tasks that have been postponed 3 times already
• Tasks that are shared with anyone
• Tasks that are shared with Bob T. Monkey
• Tasks that are tagged with 'mall'
• Tasks that contain the word 'phone'

Smart Lists can also be based on multiple criteria, for example:

• Tasks in my 'Work' list with high priority
• Tasks that are high priority and due in the upcoming week
• Tasks that are high priority or medium priority
• Tasks that are shared with anyone due in the upcoming week
• Tasks that are tagged with both 'mall' and 'gift'

You can learn more about the advanced search operators available here.

Tasks added in Smart Lists will use that list's criteria -- so if your Smart List contains all your tasks tagged with 'phone', any tasks you add will be automatically tagged with that too. You can learn more about how tasks are added to Smart Lists here.

Start by performing a search with your desired criteria:

1. Navigate to the Search screen by tapping its icon in the upper left.
2. Enter a word (or multiple words) that appears in the name of the task you want to locate. (You can also use advanced search operators.)
3. Tap Search to see the results.

Once you've tested the search and are happy with the criteria, you're ready to create the Smart List.

1. On the search results screen, tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Save Smart List.
2. Tap the List Name field and enter the name.
3. Tap the Sort Order field and change the sort order, if desired.
4. Tap Save.

Your Smart List has now been created; you can access it under the Smart Lists section in the left menu.

1. Navigate to the Smart Lists section in the left menu.
2. Tap the Smart List you wish to rename to bring up its task list.
3. Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit Smart List.
4. Tap the list name field and edit the name.
5. Tap Save.

You can add any frequently used Smart Lists to your Favorites for quick access from the left menu. To add a Smart List to your Favorites:

1. Navigate to the Smart Lists section in the left menu.
2. Tap the Smart List you wish to favorite to bring up its task list.
3. Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit Smart List.
4. Tap Add to Favorites.
5. Tap Save.

1. Navigate to the Smart Lists section in the left menu.

3. Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit Smart List.
4. Tap the Sort Order field and select the sort order.
5. Tap Save.

When you make changes to tasks in the app, each Smart List needs to be re-checked to see if the task has to be added or removed from that Smart List. For example, if your Smart List shows high priority tasks, if you change a task from high priority to medium priority, the Smart List has to re-check and figure out that the task doesn't belong in the list anymore.

While a Smart List is re-checking (which happens in the background as you use the app), it won't be able to show an accurate count of tasks in the list. It will show 'smart' until it figures out an accurate task count.

2. Tap the + icon to the right of the title.

The app doesn't currently support location-based reminders, sorry. This is a feature that we'll consider as we work to improve the app in the future. In the meantime, you can use the Nearby feature of the app to see tasks located nearby. To suggest a new feature for the app, please contact us.

You can share both individual tasks and entire lists in Remember The Milk. (Note: It's not possible to share Smart Lists at this time.)

When you share a task with a contact, you allow that person to both see and change your task.

Shared lists are slightly different, you can specify which contacts can edit tasks in the list and which contacts can only view tasks in the list.

Warning: Sharing means you are letting another person change your task. You should only share with people you trust!

To share a task with a contact:

1. On your task list, tap Edit to enter editing mode.
2. Tap to select the task(s) that you wish to share.
3. Tap the More icon in the upper right.
4. Tap Give to.
5. Select the contact that you wish to share with.

Your contact will be notified and will need to accept the shared tasks. After accepting, the task(s) will appear in the Inbox of your contact.

It is currently not possible to share lists using the iPhone app. Please use the web app to share lists as necessary.

To share a list with a contact:

1. Open the Remember The Milk web app.
2. Follow the steps located here.

Your list will be shared with the contact(s) you selected after they accept it.

If someone shares a task with you, before the task can appear in your Inbox you will need to accept or reject the task.

1. Tap Notifications (bell icon) in the upper left.
2. Tap the task shared notification.
3. Swipe left on the notification to reveal options.
4. Tap Accept or Reject.

If accepted, the task will appear in your Inbox.

If someone shares a list with you, before the list can appear in your navigation column you will need to accept or decline the list.

1. Tap Notifications (bell icon) in the upper left.
2. Tap the list shared notification.
3. Swipe left on the notification to reveal options.
4. Tap Accept or Decline.

If accepted, the list will appear in your navigation column.

Once you have shared a task with a contact, you cannot 'unshare' it at this time (we're working to add this functionality in the future).

In the meantime, a work around is to create a new task with the same properties as the shared task, and then delete the original shared task.

We apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime.
