We heard you! By popular demand, we've created a Remember The Milk gadget which you can add to your Google Personalized Homepage. You can now review your tasks alongside your calendar, mail, weather forecasts, and feeds (you can choose from hundreds of gadgets to personalize your page).
What does the gadget do?
You can use the Remember The Milk gadget on your Homepage to:
- Review your upcoming tasks for the week
- Add new tasks and edit existing ones
- Easily complete and postpone tasks
- Review your overdue tasks
- Optionally show tasks with no due date
Like the rest of the service, the gadget is available in 18 languages and will use your language setting to automatically display in your language.

Five new languages available
Sunday, October 22, 2006 by Emily Boyd
Our aim is to make Remember The Milk available in as many of the world's languages as possible. Thanks to our translation volunteers, we've been able to add another five languages:
Czech, Italian, Korean, Polish, and Russian
(You can change your language preference on the Settings screen in your account.)
Remember The Milk understands due dates and input in these languages -- so you can enter Monday, pondělí, lunedì, 월요일, poniedziałek, or понедельник.
The service is now available in 18 languages -- thank you to everyone who has helped to make this possible. If you'd like to help make Remember The Milk available in your language, please feel free to sign up for our online translation program (we really appreciate any amount of help!).
