iPhone/iPod touch only: Popular to-do list manager Remember The Milk has officially hit the iTunes App Store as a native application for your iPhone or iPod touch. Just like the web site, the application is lightning fast and simple to use but packs in some impressive features, including bi-directional sync, offline task editing, and even location awareness for sorting nearby tasks. The catch: In order to use RTM for iPhone, you’ll need to have signed up for a $US25/year pro account. Remember The Milk is a free download from the iTunes App Store.

A good task manager is something that could make Windows Vista’s somewhat unfairly maligned sidebar feature pretty useful—and Remember the Milk just so happens to be a pretty good task manager. Blogger Mark Godwin details how to turn the task manager’s iGoogle gadget into a sidebar tool you can size any way you want. We’ve previously shown how to plant web gadgets into the sidebar with the Amnesty Generator, but Godwin’s technique requires only a simple sidebar gadget installation, and it’s time well spent. Got your own web-to-Vista gadget tweak to brag about? Tell us in the comments. Remember the Milk on your Vista Desktop! [Mark Godwin's Blog]
Firefox with Greasemonkey: The Remember The Milk Cow in Google Reader Greasemonkey script integrates web-based to-do list application Remember the Milk with popular newsreader Google Reader. After installing the user script and reload Google Reader, you’ll notice RTM’s cow-head icon next to items in Google Reader. Clicking the link opens a RTM mobile window with the item’s title, the URL for the post, and a default tag (‘website’) already filled in. This handy little addition to Google Reader makes it easy to create a to-do or reminder from something you just read, and if you’re already using the previously mentioned RTM in Gmail extension, you’re Google account just integrated that much more with your to-do list. Thanks wavetheory!
Remember the Milk Cow in Google Reader [Forgot the Milk]Windows/Mac/Linux: Free application RTM Notifier periodically checks in with popular to-do list web site Remember the Milk and displays notifications for time-sensitive tasks. The goal of the application is two-fold: On one level, it’s just a notification tool, displaying pop-up alerts for due tasks. Beyond that, it’s a desktop entry point for your RTM tasks. Both features could be improved upon (especially since RTM has an open API), but if you manage all your to-dos with RTM, it might be worth checking out. RTM Notifier is a free download, requires Adobe AIR. RTM Notifier [via RefreshingApps]
