Welcome! This guide is intended as a brief introduction to using Remember The Milk. For more information, please see the Help pages.
With the Remember The Milk web app, you can manage your tasks in any web browser. Once you sign up for a Remember The Milk account, you can login to the web app to get started.
You can use the keyboard shortcuts to manage tasks quickly. Learn more about keyboard shortcuts.
The tasks screen is the first screen that you'll see when you login. This is where you'll manage your tasks. You'll see a list of incomplete tasks, with a checkbox next to each task name.
When a task is checked, it's selected so that you can perform actions on it. You can click the Complete or Postpone buttons above the list, or use the More Actions dropdown to access more options such as Setting Priorities. You can select multiple tasks to perform actions on several tasks at once.
To add a new task, click on the Add Task field, type in the name for your task, add any other properties you want, and then press enter.
You can also add other task properties while adding the task, e.g. the due date, priority, or any tags. Learn more about Smart Add.
Your new task will automatically be added. If you want to edit its properties afterward, you can select it in the list below and use the task details box on the right. Click on the Due field to set the task's due date -- you can enter due dates such as Aug 5, tomorrow, or next Tuesday.
Your default list is the first list displayed when you sign in. Learn more about default lists.
You'll start with five lists in your account: Inbox, Personal, Work, Study, and Sent. The Inbox is just like your email inbox -- except that instead of emails, you'll receive tasks. The Sent list stores the tasks that you've sent to other users. You can create as many lists as you need.
You can customize your lists by going to the Settings screen, then clicking on the Lists tab. Here you can add, delete, rename, and archive lists. To add a new list, click on Add List, type in the name for your list, and then press enter.
You can set the time that your daily reminders are sent, e.g. 12am or 9am.
You can receive reminders for tasks with due dates. Before you can start receiving reminders, you should set your timezone on the Settings screen. Then, click on the Reminders tab to set your reminder preferences. Learn more about setting reminder preferences.
You can receive a reminder on the day the task is due, as well as before the task is due (e.g. 1 day or 2 weeks before the due date).
You can also receive a reminder at the time the task is due, as well as before the task is due (e.g. 10 minutes or 1 hour before the due time).
You can choose to receive reminders via email, SMS, and instant messenger (AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN/Windows Live, Skype and Yahoo! are all supported). You can set new reminder methods by clicking on Add Details on the Reminders screen, and then choosing the appropriate option. Learn more about setting reminder methods.
Remember The Milk has your own personal tasks search engine. The basic search allows you to enter words that appear in the name of the task you want to locate. Click in the search box, type in the word (or multiple words) that you're looking for, and then press enter. Learn more about searching.
The powerful advanced search feature allows you to find tasks matching other criteria. For example, you can find tasks that you've shared with Bob T. Monkey that are high priority and due in the upcoming week and tagged with 'bananas'. You can also use advanced search operators for more complex searches.
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 contain all of your tasks with high priority, tasks due this month, or tasks tagged with 'supermarket'. Learn more about Smart Lists.
The overview screen is a handy way to see what's due today and tomorrow, and the things you've missed. To access it, click the Overview link on the top right. Click on the Weekly Planner to see upcoming tasks in a printable format.
