With Microsoft’s recent announcement that they’ll be retiring Wunderlist, we’ve been getting a whole bunch of requests for an option to import tasks from Wunderlist into Remember The Milk.
We’re happy to announce that import is now available! You can import your Wunderlist tasks by going to ‘Account Settings’ then ‘Import’ in our web and desktop apps. See our help page for more details.
We plan to add support for importing from more apps and services in the future, so if you’d like to see support for a specific app or service, please let us know!
Adding tasks with Smart Add is super fast, but what if it could be even faster?
With the latest update to our apps for Mac, Windows1, and Linux2, you can add tasks faster than ever with Smart Add on the desktop. Just use a quick keyboard shortcut to bring up Smart Add wherever you are, and start adding!
The Smart Add Hotkeys on each platform are:
Mac: ⌥ + ⌘ + M
Windows: Ctrl + Alt + M
Linux: Ctrl + Alt + M
Prefer a different keyboard shortcut? Head to ‘Account settings’ then ‘Desktop’ to change it. Alternatively, you can also access Smart Add by clicking on the cow icon in the menu bar (Mac), or right-clicking on the cow icon in the system tray (Windows and Linux).
Once you’re done typing your task, hit the Enter key to instantly add it. Want to keep adding more tasks? Press Shift + Enter (instead of just Enter), and Smart Add will stay on the screen, ready for you to add another task (or whole bunch of tasks!).
We hope you enjoy using Smart Add on the desktop! :)
1 Available on Windows 10 only at this time (sorry to those on other versions!). 2 Please see the instructions for enabling Smart Add for the Linux app.
Do you have some lists or Smart Lists that feel a tad more important than others? Maybe there are tags or locations that you use pretty often? Or contacts that you’re frequently giving tasks to? (Hi, Bob!)
Our new Favorites feature is for you! Choose your favorite lists, Smart Lists, tags, locations, and contacts, and have them all displayed in their very own Favorites group. Now there’s no more hunting through the navigation for those super important lists or contacts!
Favoriting in the web and desktop apps
Hover over the list (or Smart List, tag, location, contact, etc) you wish to favorite in the left navigation column.
Click on the dropdown arrow to the right of the name to display list options.
Click Add to Favorites.
Favoriting in the Android app
Note: Make sure you update to the latest app version first! In this example, we’re favoriting a list, but you can favorite Smart Lists, tags, locations, and contacts, too.
Navigate to the Lists section in the left menu.
Tap the list you wish to favorite to bring up its task list.
Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit list.
Tap the Favorites field and select Show in Favorites.
Tap Save.
Favoriting in the iOS app
Note: Make sure you update to the latest app version first! In this example, we’re favoriting a list, but you can favorite Smart Lists, tags, locations, and contacts, too.

Tap the list you wish to favorite to bring up its task list.
Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit list.

Wondering how much you’ve accomplished with Remember The Milk this year? No problem, Bob’s been keeping count for you! Just log in to the web app, and we’ll tell you how many tasks you’ve completed in 2016.
If you’d like to let everyone know how much you got done this year, there’s also an option to share your achievement via Facebook or Twitter (as you can see, Bob’s been super productive this year!).
In our latest update, a compact overview widget is available on iOS 10 when using 3D Touch on the app icon. This allows you to super quickly see what your day is looking like. :)
Aside from this handy new feature, here’s what you’ll find in version 4.1.10:
Fixed: Completing the same repeating task in the app and via other interfaces at the same time could sometimes lead to an orphaned task on the device.
Fixed: Postponing a task with a due time from a notification doesn’t work properly in some cases.
Fixed: Repeat rule parsing issues in Dutch and Russian.
Fixed: “addedWithin” search operator didn’t return the correct results in some cases.
Bob’s favorite colors are blue and white (evidently). While they’re lovely colors, have you ever wondered if Remember The Milk could be… just a tad less blue and white?
Wonder no more! You can now choose from over 100 beautiful themes to make the web and desktop apps your own. Ready for a change? Just click on the gear icon in the top right of the app, and select ‘Themes’.
Themes are available exclusively for Pro users, and we really appreciate your support (Bob’s kept supplied with bananas thanks to you!).
Our latest app update is a whole new Remember The Milk for Mac! Okay, you might not see a big difference, but believe us – it’s all new. For version 1.1.0, we’ve switched from the WebKit/WKWebKit framework built into OS X to a shiny new Chrome-based engine provided by Electron.
Why did we do this, you ask? (Or maybe you didn’t ask, in which case… hey! how’s it going?)
Well, here are some reasons:
Everything’s just much faster. You can now scroll a big list of tasks at 60fps because we can use your GPU to draw things. Due to bugs in WebKit, we had to disable this in the old version. Not anymore!
We can keep things updated and give you the latest and greatest browsing engine. Any time Google releases a new Chrome, we can release a new Remember The Milk with all the new improvements. With the old version, we were stuck on the built-in version until a new Safari release.
Fewer bugs. Yup, Bob’s been battling all sorts of issues in WKWebKit. He had to reinvent printing (not supported!), fast offline storage (not supported by default), zooming, geolocation, etc, etc. The list could go on. All these things come for almost free now. No reinventing the wheel. Woohoo!
Shared code across platforms. We now have a Windows app and a Linux app. They all work the exact same way and give the best experience possible on each platform. Hooray!
