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.

Posted 4 years ago

I'm working on an open-source app that does just that.

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?

bradgarland

I'm also interested in this, keep us posted!

A twitteriffic like app would be perfect

Posted 3 years ago

im also really interested in seeing this put together! whoohoo!

Posted 3 years ago

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.

Posted 3 years ago

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.

@digitalrob...so long as you use the international form (1 April 2008), you should be fine.

@willh...any news?

Posted 3 years ago

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.

Posted 3 years ago

I'd also love a simple desktop app! Something to replace that sticky note I always keep open with high-priority tasks in it.

Posted 3 years ago

Anything new on this?

Posted 3 years ago

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

Posted 3 years ago

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

Posted 3 years ago

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.

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 3 years ago

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 3 years ago

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 3 years ago

dimitrilw

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.

Posted 3 years ago

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

Posted 3 years ago

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 3 years ago

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.

Posted 3 years ago

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.

Posted 3 years ago

I'd like to see one as well.

Posted 3 years ago

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 ?

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.

Is anyone working on one?

Posted 3 years ago

I think I'm going to try to make one. Just need to get this API key approved first..

hansengel,

Please make a simple, beautiful Mac client for RTM...something like Things or The Hit List.

Here's an AIR app that will work on the Mac: http://www.jashsayani.com/my-softwares/remember-the-task/

Posted 2 years ago

spot on works fine!!

Posted 2 years ago

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.

Posted 2 years ago

the AIR app works beautifully! thanks!

Posted 2 years ago

I can' get the AIR app to go to the background...does it always have to be the foreground app?

Posted 2 years ago

Any news on your API key, hansengel? I'd also be more than happy to contribute to testing the finished product.

Posted 2 years ago

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

Posted 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

ranbarton

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.

Much more on this thread here: https://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/1673/

Posted 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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.

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

Posted 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

odelaney

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.

Posted 2 years ago

Thanks alot odelaney.

Anything new about the Desktop app for OS X ?

Posted 2 years ago

I am currently making an air application that will go in public alpha about next week. see this thread.

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/7477/

it will have a dynamic doc icon, can run minimzed in dock and has online offline sync, so even though it is based on adobe air it will behave quite like a native application.

Posted 2 years ago

Looking forward to testing your app.

Please, please develop a mac based desktop app - it would make a great program the industry leader - the web based way to access it is weak

Posted 2 years ago

I just released the another updated version. the app has progressed greatly since I first posted it here. it has a new UI, improved online offline sync and features advanced search like on the rtm website.

please check it out at www.chrillo.info/applications/appforthemilk/

Posted 2 years ago

abdalla.2

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 2 years ago

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!

Sync with Things (http://www.culturedcode.com/things/) +1

Posted 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

russellmtanner

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.

Mac developer here, what would people be willing to pay for a Mac GTM client? I'm considering it...

Depends on the features, honestly. If you could make something at the level of Things, I would pay about $50 for it. If it's just something like App For The Milk, I wouldn't pay a dime.

Posted 1 year ago

ephemeron - I'd pay $10-20 depending on features.

MilkMaid seems like it's about 75% of the way there for a Mac app, though it doesn't give you the ability to edit, view or add details of a task, such as location or notes.
Ultra-bonus: It's free and open source!
Maybe I'll hack at it when I'm feeling like procrastinating from real work.

Speaking of procrastinating from real work, I discovered RTM from this article:
http://www.marcandangel.com/2010/02/08/29-semi-productive-things-i-do-online/

Posted 1 year ago

MilkMaid is cool, but it's not quite what I want.
I would kill for things to be able to sync with RTM. That would just be the bees knees.

Posted 1 year ago

ephemeron,

i think this would be a very worthwhile application, but i honestly think you should include it in the pro version of what you offer. Evernote has web, phone, and desktop applications that are fully functional and sync between themselves, and that is a free app. RTM is quickly becoming my favorite app, and will eventually upgrade to pro when my beta test period runs out (for the iphone app). being able to manage tasks offline in a simple functional desktop application would make this app one of the best on the internet, imo. That being said, if you did charge for it, i would probably buy it. Keep us updated on development schedules and etas!

Posted 1 year ago

I would love to see The Hit List as my frontend for RTM. You guys complete each other. You are online and iPhone. He has the app (but not really actively programming it)

Posted 1 year ago

okay.. i am really putting some thought into this.. and i am getting ready to possibly move on this..

i am just trying to figure out if this is something that would best be done using cocoa as a mac app.. or using qt as a cross platform app..

i have started thinking aloud here:

http://www.codingforhire.com/blog/The-Perfect-GTD-System

i would be interested in everyone's thoughts..

thanks!

Posted 1 year ago

I would pay up to $100 for a Things-like UI that synced with RTM.

I love the Things UI, hate the backend.

Bonus for an Outlook 2007 plug-in as well, but having a good native Mac UI is more important to me, since I never use Outlook where I don't have a Mac.

Posted 1 year ago

I sign up for a $50 native OSX desktop application like Things.

Posted 1 year ago

my biggest fear is that while Things is a great app with a simple yet elegant interface.. could i get into trouble if i developed an application that looked too much like Things?

Posted 1 year ago

RTM staff. If you guys developed a mac (and win?) desktop client and made it free, but only allowed it to access the site if you were a pro user, soooooooooo many people would become pro users.

Posted 1 year ago

I know it's a little bit early, but I started working on an OSX desktop client for RTM.

I want to support basic features in the early version, and see how it goes ("how" really depends on how the app will be received).

Posted 1 year ago

Do you plan on making this software proprietary or open-sourcing it? If it's the latter, I'd be glad to contribute if you'd post it on Google Code, Sourceforge, or GitHub. I am a designer but would love to help.

Posted 1 year ago

I guess the overall demand for a desktop app is rather low. The desired feature set would require significant development effort and I doubt that RTM will be wiling to spend it. If you just need a desktop companion, check app for the milk (well crafted AIR application) or try CoffeeMilk (Java and runs on all platforms that support Java 1.6 including MacOS) available for free at http://code.google.com/p/coffeemilk/.

And yes, I would also like to have a RTM desktop app like Things (but cross platform) - you may still have dreams! :-)

Posted 1 year ago

llorban

Same here - a Things-like UI would be superb & would pay for it

AppleScript support would be amazing! My workplace uses a trouble ticketing system that sends me an email whenever I have an assignment. I could easily write an AppleScript to import this email into RTM Desktop.

If only Things could sync with RTM

Posted 1 year ago

Not sure if this was suggested but since there is an RTM iPhone app, could it easily be ported to the Mac and released in the app store? I realize an almost direct port would make for a rather thin, unfeatured app, but it might be a good start to get comfortable in developing and releasing a mac app. Perhaps investigate offer the app for free for Pro users as an incentive for others to upgrade?

Posted 11 months ago

Things is currently making a cloud syncing service. I would have much preferred RTM support. :/

I really would like a mac app. A web app is good for some things - but it feels intrusive to have to go to my web browser to add a task. I dunno? Does anyone else feel at all similar?

I voted for the Mac app but if that's not possible, perhaps some tweaks to the website would make it more intuitive and function more like an app?

Personally, I prefer the RTM iphone interface over the website. There are important indicators missing from the website that are present in the iPhone app that I really like.

If use Adobe Air, it will be used in any platform. And using RTM APIs, somebody could develop a desktop application supporting "dependencies", "sub tasks", and etc using "tagging". By the way, I want this version developed by RTM team.. 'cause, they're good :)

I am using another AIR app, App for the milk.
http://www.chrillo.info/apps/app-for-the-milk/

Pros
* I open it on the right side of iCal and it works great generally.
* It is really easy to change the due date.

Cons
* List is sorted strangely. It used to be sorted alphabetically, but it is just confused.
* Tag cannot be specified when we add task. It can be entered in the task edit window.
* It would be great if they can make lines between tasks of "Today", "Within a week", "Within 30 days" and "In more than 30 days" bolder. (Like "All Active" list of Informant for iPhone/iPad.)

Posted 8 months ago

Since google gears has vanished, this has become really important. The benefits of RTM being cloud based are lost if you can't access/update your tasks when offline (i.e. on a plane). With gears it was possible to do this in the web browser - no more.

Posted 8 months ago

webkenny

The web app leaves much to be desired. Trying adding more than 3 rows of lists, smart lists, searches, etc and it quickly becomes apparent that RTM should not be using Tabs for the interface. They desperately need a refresh honestly. I now basically only use the iPad app.

+1 Using the dashboard isn't a good alternative. I need an ipad-like app running on my mac so I can mail important links to follow up to RTM and then easily read them. Almost all my tasks are executed on my desktop and the web interface is not that good.

Hey guys there is a program out there called Milk Maid. http://sourceforge.net/projects/milkmaid/

it syncs to your milk maid account. I don't think it can save anything on your computer though, its just a direct app to the website.
There is also a version for MAC as well. just google for it.

Workaround: OSX Universal Task Add

While we wait for a Mac App I would like to share a workaround for a feature at the top of my list: Universal Task Add

Setup:
1. Set up RTM with you twitter account
2. Download and install Twidget.

Add Tasks:
Launch Dashboard, direct message RTM, type your task
or,
F12, d rtm "your task name"

-Twidget will already be selected if you used it last. So no need to hunt and peck with the mouse. Smart Add works for this too.

With the ability to create a standalone app with site-specific browsers like Fluid (for Mac) I don't need the dedicated Mac app as much. This allows you to alt-tab/command-tab over for quick access to RTM. Still, a dedicated app would be nice. :)

What I really need for RTM is a quick-entry and clipping tool like what Omnifocus and Things provide. That tool is so handy where you can highlight something, hit a key combination and then it brings it in and creates a task automatically. Much more efficient than all of the cut-and-pasting required currently.

In the GTD world, this is about making the Collection phase as easy as possible.

Something that works just like the iPad app would be very cool. You could use the trackpad gestures to move through the app just like you do on the pad. After using such a beautiful interface, the web app makes me want to cry.

An app similar to the Fantastical interface would be perfect! I just want a quick way to enter and see my lists.

OK, I am way out of my depth here so no flames please. This is just a sugestion. I love the iPad app, it is great, I could see it working on the Mac with minmal changes, ie just drop all the sliding parts, make them fixed and you are pretty much done (as far as the UI goes). But, how to get the iPad app to the Mac ? Has anyone used this ?

It will still take some effort but might be a way forwward ?

i've been a happy RTM pro user for more than a year now. i'm actively considering dumping it though 'cuz there's no good OSX desktop solution. it pains me to consider it :-( :-( :-( . i use the iPad app - would love to see that hack-ported to OSX.

We need a Mac App. Must be easy to use and fit the Apple UI standards

Posted 15 weeks ago

We need a desktop app for Windows as well. The developer of App for the Milk is no longer supporting that gadget. I haven't been able to get other available add-on gadgets to work properly. I don't need an I-phone or an Android. I just need to have RTM on my desktop when I get up in the morning!

I'd like a desktop app for RTM. The benefits would come from the integration with the operating system - things like email and web clipping, quick task entry and right-click functions. It would also mean I would have a desktop backup for my vital data.

Furthermore, a desktop app would allow the possibility of greater consistency with the iOS apps. For example, at present, due tasks on the web interface show in bold text, whereas on iOS they show with coloured dates next to them.

I would love a RTM desktop UI for Mac. I've been a pro member for 3 years and would stay here another 7 with a desktop UI As it stands, I've been investigating other services with better desktop apps.

Since Gears is being deprecated how are we supposed to perform offline task management on our laptops? What is the plan, is there one?

Hey guis (and girls), four years of discussion and no app yet?
I wish I could program one for us.
But I just found this here:

I'd love a native RTM app, with a RTM look and feel. I don't like the Air version.
You have done a beautiful job with the iPhone and iPad app.
now just complete the full cycle with a desktop app :)

Same here. Come on, you are talented programmers - how hard can it be to create a simple desktop app with offline functionality for Mac? I believe in you, please do it. :)

(PC users can use Firefox 3.6 and still get Gears, but us Mac users can't, so we need something else...)

Hm. So, what are the chances here? Is anyone really working on the desktop, standalone, client for RTM?

If not, I can look into the API and work on something in Cocoa.
Any suggestions? email me at kender@codingslut.com
