says:For me the most important thing missing is being able to individualise reminders for individual tasks and groups/tags.
Some things I really need a txt reminder some only need an email.
SOME ARE TXT DO IT NOW.
others are
Welllllll need to do something next week.

This would convince me to purchase a pro membership.
Posted at 3:26am on January 22, 2008
there are only selected to-dos that I would like to be reminded of, so I support this idea
Posted at 2:19pm on January 23, 2008
This is likely the one real serious element I find lacking in RTM. I don't want a reminder for everything on my list. It would be beneficial to pick which tasks, and by what manner, I am reminded.
Posted at 9:37am on January 30, 2008
I'm on the bandwagon here as well. This is a big omission and in my eyes the only major thing that RTM is missing. I'd certainly love to see this soon!
Posted at 10:41pm on January 30, 2008
agreed
Posted at 6:33am on January 31, 2008
says:I agree with this, with some additions.
I want to have different reminders sent to different emails or mobile number.
For example, I want things tagged 'work' sent to my work email. I want things tagged for school sent to my personal email and things tagged call to be sent to my phone.

says:signed, glad to see my eyes weren't failing me when I went looking to set a reminder for ONE specific task
Posted at 8:26pm on February 4, 2008
This would be great. I don't need a text at 8am to tell me to pay my CC bill, but I do need one at 7pm when I get home and I'm in front of my Mac.
Posted at 3:32pm on February 5, 2008
This would be great, I would love to be able to choose how to get reminded (txt, email, etc.) and when. THanks
Posted at 3:44pm on February 5, 2008
says:I definitely support this. So the default settings would apply if I didn't customize the reminder, but otherwise I could type in a simple syntax like "remind me on email at 3:00 pm" or "remind me on sms in 3 hours" etc. - making use of the string-to-time functionality already in place too.
Would be awes0me
Thanks :)

says:I agree that it would be great to be able to choose notification means for each task. Some need to to the work Lotus Notes email, others to personal Gmail and the occasional message to SMS. This would be fantastic!

says:i join with the RTM Team in loving google. I like their google calendar (gcal) reminders:
you can have up to 5 reminders.
Posted at 5:26pm on February 11, 2008
I agree that this would be a nice feature. How often do they update RTM?
Posted at 7:57am on February 13, 2008
Most tasks I don't need reminders for. However, every once in a while, I'd like to get a reminder for a particular task. It would be nice to be able to set a checkbox like "Reminder?" for a particular task and then get a reminder (by e-mail would be my preference) for that one task without having to set the entire system to send me reminders.
Posted at 11:39am on February 27, 2008
I agree this would be cool. I was going to also mention Google Calendar's ability to do this but noticed nah.why already did. :)
Posted at 8:29pm on March 3, 2008
Yes! please, please, please!
Posted at 1:58am on March 4, 2008
I agree; many of my items have due dates, but not all do I want a reminder for sent to my phone. Options to have no reminder, sms reminder, or just an e-mail would be fantastic.
Posted at 3:01am on March 4, 2008
says:PLEASE! Lots seem to want more control over reminder settings, specifically being able to granularly set for individual items. Also having a snooze feature like Sandy for reminders would be perfect!
Posted at 2:46pm on March 4, 2008
says:I agree this would be very useful.
Posted at 10:50pm on March 4, 2008
says:Yes I am still hankering after this one...I don't want to use google as I cannot access this at work/ it takes lot of time to load on some connetions. I don't want 2 logins for my organiser....RTM only please....Does this appear as a blanket reminder and hence is not being remembered, maybe it needs an individual reminder...;-o)
Posted at 11:14am on March 18, 2008
says:I agree; this would make me happy!
Thereto, I need to customize remider distination for individual tasks. In many cases, I just want to send reminder to only myself. But I sometimes want to send remider to my staffs.
Posted at 2:26pm on March 18, 2008
says:this feature would make me happy too
Posted at 2:39pm on March 18, 2008
I came to the forums for the first time just now for the specific reason of asking for this. Glad to see there's already a thread.
Posted at 6:33am on March 23, 2008
Is there no offical presence or crew/webmasters reading the forums? I am a new member and imidiately got annoyed that the reminders cant be more specific. For example they could have connected the reminders to the priority level, i.e. I would like to be chose that the tasks with priority one can get texts and the tasks with prio 2 i will settle with e-mails. When i check the forum Everyone seems to be annoyed by this during the last 1 or 2? years. Thats really a low grade for the crew of the site since i can not find any official answers to the problem. Why doesnt people just change go google calender or similiar?
Posted at 11:51am on March 24, 2008
I came here just to post this, so I'm glad it's already been mentioned.
Ideally each task could have its own reminder properties (when and what method). Less ideal would be on a per-list basis, or having only a set number of reminder properties of which you could choose on a per task basis.
Posted at 8:49pm on March 24, 2008
i came here just to post this too!
Posted at 6:13pm on March 26, 2008
I came to the forum for the same reason, could really use individual reminders. I have only been using RTM for a couple days, but I love it. Thanks for all the hard work!
Posted at 6:49pm on March 26, 2008
Sandy [http://iwantsandy.com] for the win on this. Don't get me wrong, I think overall RTM is a more robust application, but I've been tinkering with Sandy and although it hasn't won me from RTM (and I don't expect it to), I am head over heels in love with these 2 things:
1) SNOOZE! When Sandy emails you a scheduled reminder, you can just reply with "remind me in an hour" or "remind me tomorrow" and it reschedules it. Fantastic!
2) Per-task reminder options. I set it to remind me via email by default, and NOT to remind me via SMS by default (don't want to rack up txt msg charges). But if I do want a certain reminder by SMS, I can tell Sandy "remind me to get drive-through on the way home today at 5pm @sms". Slick.
I would be such a happy bunny if RTM were to take inspiration from these two features! I would never "cheat" with Sandy again. ;-)
Posted at 4:32am on April 1, 2008
Add my voice to the chorus too!
Posted at 1:47pm on April 1, 2008
I just started using RTM, and so far, this is the only feature I can think of that is missing. It would really be great to be able to do this because, like others have said, certain events are important enough to get a txt, but others aren't worth 1 of the only 400 texts included in my plan.
Basically-- pleasepleaseplease!
Posted at 2:40am on April 2, 2008
I agree, I would be really, really useful.
Posted at 7:02am on April 7, 2008
agree
Posted at 5:00pm on April 7, 2008
I join the line. Please work in this feature
Posted at 10:53am on April 11, 2008
says:As do I. I think the only feature I really crave is the ability to specify reminder rules on a per-list and per-task level - for all the reasons already mentioned! :)
Posted at 5:53pm on April 11, 2008
says:I concur with most people here. I really want to up to a pro membership but RTK is still missing some basic features that other programs (e.g. Sandy) have. Another disconcerting fact is that RTK has taken so long to add this feature.
Posted at 7:46am on April 18, 2008
I have to, well, pretty much repeat what everyone else has been saying. I've been using RTM for only a short while but this is the one feature I find myself wishing for every time I make a task that doesn't fit the universal reminder schedule I have set up.
Posted at 3:19am on April 21, 2008
This is a much needed feature of RTM. I agree with everyone else here that it is a must-have.
Please add it!
Thanks
Posted at 8:23pm on April 21, 2008
I would also like this feature. It could be very similar (or identical) to the way reminders are implemented in Google Calendar.
Posted at 8:47pm on April 21, 2008
PLEASE ad this feature!
Posted at 2:53am on April 27, 2008
I've only used Remember The Milk for a few hours and I really miss being able to set individual reminders.
I hope this will be developed soon!
Let's Get It!

This thread has been here since December and still no response from the RTM team?!?!? what's going on with the support crew?
Posted at 7:05am on June 2, 2008
says:Ummm please could you give us a bit feedback please....I check now and again, but nothing seems to have changed or have I missed something? What can we do to encourage/help to achieve this addition....I'm not a programmer, but willing to do what I can.

Posted at 2:03pm on June 2, 2008
says:ditto everyone else... just started, love it, came here to request this specific feature (customize reminders)
Posted at 3:47pm on June 2, 2008
re: the complaints that RTM isn't responding here...
The forum instructions say that RTM monitors the Help area; this is the Ideas area. So that's probably why they're not popping up here. They do seem to respond w/in a few days at the most, there, and have also indicated they're aware of the wish for more control in how reminders are sent. (See the thread called "Different reminders".)
Posted at 11:06pm on June 2, 2008
says:+1 from me.
Also, I've been using MilkSync for BlackBerry and have been really impressed with the integration. One thing that Google's Calendar BB sync program does that RTM should employ: when I add an entry to Google Calendar and choose the "Pop-up" reminder type, the sync causes the reminder to go off on my BlackBerry. The same functionality from MilkSync, when they finally have individual reminders, would be fantastic!
Posted at 2:02am on June 6, 2008
says:+1 from me too.
Posted at 10:05pm on June 16, 2008
Yes, I'd like to be able to set reminder rules based on priority level as well.
Posted at 4:14pm on June 17, 2008
I definitely agree with all of these posts, this functionality is really needed. In the meantime though I've found a sort of workaround for this, a sort of reminder check box if you will. If you set the reminder to be sent say 1 hour before the due time, then as long as you specify a due date, but no due time a reminder will not be sent, however if you do specify a specific time it will send a reminder an hour before. If you do not want reminders for something don't specify a time, if you do then specify a time. This isn't an ideal solution, but I hope it helps.
Posted at 5:05pm on June 18, 2008
yes, yes, yes - pretty please with a cherry on top!!!!!
Posted at 2:50pm on June 20, 2008
Just posted a similar thread, then I found this. RTM needs this function. I would like a 2 week notice for birthdays, but only a one day notice for appointments.
Please?
Posted at 12:09am on July 1, 2008
says:This would be great! I need to make Phone calls at certain times but I don't want to fill up my google calendar with them just to use their reminder feature.
Posted at 4:13pm on July 15, 2008
says:Agreed. I came to the forums for this his reason as well.
Posted at 7:58pm on July 17, 2008
I posted about this in a separate thread but thought I should voice my support in here. Definitely the only thing I really wish RTM did
Posted at 1:19pm on July 18, 2008
says:This should be at the top of the list. Right now this is the only feature I can think of that's not implemented already. I have to use a separate service for something that should really be built in.
Posted at 2:09am on July 22, 2008
Yes please - granular reminders would be great, some things I need the prompt, others not so much
Posted at 8:52am on July 22, 2008
I definitely want this. It'd be so nice to have different options for my reminders. At the very least I would like the option to have my daily list of reminders emailed and time-specific reminders sent via text.
Posted at 6:16pm on September 3, 2008
says:I was just about to post about this feature. Can we get some sort of an update if this is in planning? I'd subscribe immediately if this feature was available. I'd like to be able to be notified to make my car payment via SMS, but I don't care to get texted to followup on an email for work.
Posted at 7:48pm on September 3, 2008
I would also like to add my name to the chorus. I would have no hesitation in upgrading to pro when this feature is implemented.
Posted at 3:44am on September 6, 2008
says:+1
At least maybe we could specify different reminder options per List, priority or tag, instead of for all tasks. For example items in the Urgent list or tagged as urgent, or with a "1" priority would justify an SMS, while the other ones would be fine as emails.
Also, I am not sure why GetSatisfaction.com is not used for this product. This would make much easier to count votes, than replies to a post in a forum!!!
Posted at 7:01pm on September 7, 2008
says:Ummm a better way of aggregating requests ....There are at least 12 different requests for Variable reminders if you put "reminders" in as a search. Gareth
Posted at 10:41am on September 18, 2008
says:The Gcal reminders dont work for me since the task sycning is currently not working......... so yes individual task reminders is really important to get in there..
a text msg for every single task is pretty much useless.......
Posted at 4:14pm on September 19, 2008
I agree this is an important feature. And the iCalendar feed should include an alarm field, so that a calendar app that subscribes to the feed will automatically notify me. Also include the option to be reminded with a popup window the way Google Calendar does it.
Posted at 4:06pm on September 23, 2008
Need individual reminders too...
