Multi-platform, web-accessible task list software

May 20, 2008 8:34 AM

Having searched through askMeFi already, I haven't come across anything that answers my query. I use Evernote, which is a fine web/application, that is accessible on all platforms, via the web, and by Iphone. Does such a thing exist in the realms of to-do list software? I prefer being able to put my tasks into an application, but have them accessible and synced to the web. I use OS X

Remember the Milk

2nd Remember the Milk. While I've not seen a Mac desktop app for RTM the API is certainly open enough to allow for one (and in fact, it appears there are a few in development.) You can, in the meantime, sync it with ICal, GMail, Google Calendar, etc. The Pro (paid) account even allows for a nice-looking mobile version.

How about Ta-Da List or even Backpack? Both have worked great for me, and have mobile versions available as well.

Am I allowed to promote my own app? tedium is web-based and so should work wherever you can access the web. I haven't developed a specific mobile version yet, but as the iPhone is webkit-based it should work.

I'd be interested to hear how it works with the iPhone as I haven't got one to try it out.

I use Remember the Milk to sync with my mobile phone's (Blackberry for me) task application, which in turn syncs with Outlook on my desktop.

I also highly recommend RTM. I have a "pro" account and the iPhone application is awesome.

I kind of wish it had a standalone app too. There's a Dashboard widget but it's not very good (can't add tasks, only check them off). What I do is have it open the mobile site in a Firefox tab since I pretty much always have a browser window open. I may try WCityMike's suggestion though..

Supposedly there is a way to subscribe to your RTM list in iCal but I could never get it working.
