Mac OS X Desktop Application

endlessemergency says:

I'm looking for a desktop application for RTM. I find that I usually forget about widgets on the dashboard. I'm thinking something like Twitteriffic for Twitter. If it wasn't for Twitteriffic, I would have forgotten about Twitter, and I'm afraid the same thing will happen with Remember The Milk.

You could try one of these with either the Google Gadget or the Dashboard widgets.

I also wish there was a app like Twitteriffic for RTM or something like anxietyapp.com for iCal. It would be really great to have an icon in the Menubar so it would be really easy to quickly check on tasks or add new ones. Loading up the site and logging in takes time for a quick task. I almost considered switching to iCal for todos but it can't compare to RTM. For now I just subscribe via iCal. Too bad it is one way.

Finally, someone! I was thinking about starting such a project, but I lack the time. Instead, I now use the Fluid app (http://fluidapp.com/), but I'm looking for something similar to Anxiety.
How is it coming along?

As a GMail (for domains) user, the visibility of my list is never a problem, and using the QuickSilver plugin makes item creation simple, elegant, and without disruption.

digitalrob Pro says:

I'd also like a small app. I use QuickSilver, but I find that it often interprets dates incorrectly, and I still have to go back to RTM to add tags, places, URL's, etc.

BTW, I'm sure the date thing is my fault. I'm pretty certain I haven't been using the correct formatting.

mamegoma says:

I would -love- this. Definitely echoing the wish of a Mac application for RTM that looks and functions somewhat similar to Anxiety (http://www.anxietyapp.com/) or Twitterific - more so for Anxiety. At the moment I just have the RTM plug-in for Gmail, and iCal and Google Calendar integration - all of which aren't really want I am looking for in RTM use. :| Desktop application = would be amazing.

If this was created and made to work for RTM Pro accounts only, I would upgrade in a heartbeat - currently holding back on upgrading until I procure an iPhone.

Things (http://www.culturedcode.com/things/) and other new task management / GTD apps should really start to offer RTM sync options.

chrisjernigan says:

Would love to know if there is any progress on a desktop app for OS X?

Posted at 6:37pm on August 1, 2008

vanilla8 Pro says:

I think a desktop application would be perfect and THINGS is certainly one to look at for inspiration. I think a paid-for desktop app and native iPhone app together with a free web-based service, all of whom could sync with each other would be the perfect task management suite.

ceejaysmith Pro says:

Hey guys, you can easily have your own standalone app for RTM by creating a SSB (Site specific browser) using Fluid.

http://fluidapp.com/

(Leopard only.)

It works great.

Posted at 5:20am on August 6, 2008

owengot says:

it's not quite the same with fluid app or a widget since these need connect to the internet. with a tool like anxiety you could acces your to do's at any time and on the next sync rtm will be updated. much more conveniant than a ssb imho :)
willh, anything more you can reveal on the open source project?

Posted at 4:22am on August 7, 2008

dimitrilw says:

Chalk-up another vote for a native app that syncs to the web. Right now, I eagerly await such a program before I really switch to RTM. I tested using RTM in place of my current desktop GTD application; it was frustrating. Google Gears + the Quicksilver plugin come close, but no cigar. A native app is critical for the hardcore task-aholics. I would pay for such an app and upgrade to Pro.

Posted at 11:51pm on August 17, 2008

dimitrilw says:

Does anybody have any updates on a desktop GTD application that syncs to RTM?

Note: RTM on Google Gears does not fill the gap because it is slow to load and lacks an offline quick-entry form.

Man, how great would it be if Cultured Code offered RTM syncing. *Dreams.*

beiju says:

If we had a native app I would start actually using RTM in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, willh seems to not be listening. If you see this, I would be delighted to be involved in any kind of beta anything. Pleeze?

Posted at 12:15am on October 19, 2008

desenso Pro says:

What did you expect? Not even a pro user — probably didn't take the project very seriously to begin with. It's easy to "work" on something, but it takes commitment to ship a decent app.

I'm a little surprised we haven't seen some RTM staffers in here, though. Clearly there's demand.

ben.teese Pro says:

The new native iPhone application looks great. Sure beats the web-based app, and first impressions are that it beats Appigo's Todo as a native iPhone RTM client too.

I hope the next step is a native Mac OS X application. No offense but the web-based interface just doesn't cut it for me in day-to-day usage. The RTM team obviously know how to do UIs, but web technologies are only going to take you so far.

I'm only using RTM because it provides the best traditional task management system that syncs across a desktop (albeit via a browser) and the iPhone. Apple don't seem in a hurry to provide decent Todo-list syncing between Mail and the iPhone. And Omnifocus doesn't support priorities.

To be perfectly honest, if/when Apple improve Mail Todo lists to sync to the iPhone, or Omnifocus start allowing priorities, I'd likely move away from RTM in it's current state.

I'd like to see one as well.

mkaub says:

Definitely want that too !!!!

I am happy with the new iPhone app and use RTM with Fluid.app on my Mac, BUT I really like something native on my desktop.

I love RTM for getting all my to-dos into a system - but I need something visual pleasing on my desktop to motivate me to get the tasks done and out and ideally have a very flexible user interface to define my views of tasks.

RTM has helped me to collect all the things I need to do NOW I hope it will help me with a nice dashboard to make me work on them.

Thanks !

PS any other mac apps that sync with RTM ?

conundrum Pro says:

Tasque (http://preview.tinyurl.com/9tgu66) is a fantastic little app written in C# for Mono that syncs with RTM. It runs pretty well on OSX, but is still beta quality.

A native Cocoa app would of course be better, but Tasque certainly gets the job done.

Already on it, sigamy :) I've got the user interface pretty much finished and the code is ready. No API key, still, though.. I posted on the mailing list to see if I might've been denied a key :/

Something like google notifier would be perfect: it'd sit in the menubar, with a count of today's unfinished tasks, and would give you a list of them in a drop down menu, similar to the Google Calendar functionality in Google Notifier. Heck, if you could get your heads together with Google & get them to integrate it, that'd be well cool.

Yes, yes, sitting up there in the menu bar next to google notifier. That'd be sweet!

Posted at 5:17am on March 14, 2009

bluesgeek says:

Actually, looking at notifier, the calendar events are overshadowed by my lists items... the price you pay I guess for linking RTM to gCal.

Also, I really don't like the way Remember the Task makes you install it and the AIR app from the website. I prefer a download.

Posted at 12:31am on March 15, 2009

ranbarton ProPower Poster says:

I keep thinking the key to using RTM on the desktop, offline, is to get two-way iCal syncing working, which would let you use any app for the Mac that taps the Mac's native calendar data store.

One more vote for a native RTM mac client, but please mac it standalone! The main reason I'm a RTM user is that i use entourage (for scores of reasons - work being one) and while i love it, it's task management is abysmal and won't sync over exchange. Thus the RTM pro account. So, please help all of us out by giving us a lightweight desktop app (or something that sync's with RTM).

Posted at 10:09pm on April 30, 2009

Yeah, a native RTM client for Mac would be really helpful. I'm contemplating getting Things instead since there isn't any client for RTM.

@hotcha3 - If you don't need offline access, but crave a menubar app, check out Fluid.

Fluid works great and with Google Gears you also have offline access. I don't need a dedicated Cocoa version.

hotcha3 Pro says:

Hi,

ranbarton, thanks for your help.
i currently use a "desktop app" made with fluid, but is it possible to do the same with fluid but on the menubar ?
I just find much more productive to have the todos on the menubar at 1 click away, without having to open a window all the time....

Thanks alot

Posted at 2:14pm on May 13, 2009

odelaney Pro says:

hotcha3, yeah you can do this. Just create a fluid app for the iGoogle RTM webpage https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/googleig/, then open it, and select "Convert to MenuExtra SSB..." from the main app drop down menu. It then puts the app in your menubar.

chirillo: Are you planning on releasing source for this? If so, and you have a cvs/svn repo, post it on your site and you should get some help with bugs.

I can't guarantee a lot of time, but if there's a bug I can help with, I'd definitely be up for submitting diffs...

Posted at 5:36pm on August 15, 2009

chrillo.at Pro says:

I currently do not plan to release the code before the app is at least at version 1000 - I still need to clean up to many things and it would be very hard for an outsider to understand what I did - there is no commenting etc... I certainly want the app to be free and I also would share the code publicly when it reached a certain level or maturity but I am not there yet.

I really appreciate any help I can get, so if you have any bugs to report please post them on my site or just send me an email and we can work it out directly. If you have any AS3 experience you can also have a look at the code at its current messy stage.

I too like your app. I have a bug to report - - I tried the updated app last weekend and had difficulty with syncing my tasks. I had the app refresh all (removing everything in the app and pulling only from the RTM website) but it didn't work and some of my repeating tasks on the web app ended up getting completed with the repeat removed. I am not 100% sure the repeat problem came from what I did in your app, but they might be connected.

Thanks!

andrewthrelfo Pro says:

My main problem with RTM is the UI. It isn't terrible, but it isn't brilliant either (this goes for the iPhone app as well). If both the iPhone app and a Mac app had an elegant, simple interface like Cultured Code's Things that would be fantastic.

Posted at 11:05am on October 4, 2009

anant.shiva Pro says:

the RTM desktop client needs to look like Things. seriously.

it drives me mad coz Things is so beautiful and just *feels* good to use but lacks all the great features of RTM. and RTM is a work of genius but the web UI is icky.

I've been a RTM user since forever and even became a Pro member. I love you guys. but can we please have a desktop app? like Things?

Posted at 8:52am on October 8, 2009

sigamy Pro says:

anant,

couldn't agree more. I've been following Things and Appigo's Todo for the iPhone. I went with Todo due to syncing with RTM. When Things was trying to figure out how to accomplish sync between the desktop and iPhone I couldn't believe that they just didn't jump on board with RTM and go that way.

We'd then have the best combination of beautiful, easy to use desktop app with all the power and convience of having our data in the cloud on RTM.

Posted at 5:06pm on October 19, 2009

sigamy Pro says:

chrillo.at:

I haven't used your app in a few weeks so I may be mistake but its it possible to filter out the list of items? For exmaple, I have a list called "All Groceries", I never want to see items from this list on the main screen. It doesn't seem possible in your app.

Posted at 5:08pm on October 19, 2009

russellmtanner Pro says:

Another good to do application is "The Hit List." I actually really like the interface and ease of use. I definitely think there should be a RTM native app. Applications like Fluid are buggy and I've had a lot of hit or misses with other web-based applications. A native application makes things cleaner.
