Yesterday I came home and like many precursors to the weekend we talk about what sort of meal plan we would like for the coming week. Along with that, we put together the shopping list for our weekend supply chores.

Ever since Apple released iOS 13, we’ve had nothing but headaches with their Reminder app. So the two places we usually go are named lists in the Apple Reminders app. My partner rattled off that there were four items in one list, and I saw none of them. After we wasted an hour resetting and screwing around with Reminders I went to look for alternatives. I found one, an app called “Remember The Milk” and I chiuckled as I had seen it before. Apparently I had an account there a long time ago, so instead of creating a new account, I reccovered the old one. I invited my partner to the app, he installed it, and then I created two lists for our two spots we usually go to, and then I shared them both out to him. Then we sat back and chuckled because with this alternative, proper sync was happening, which was everything we wanted. So we have turned our backs on the Reminder app.

As I started to look through Remember The Milk, I noticed that it had grown up a lot in the time I had been away from it. I’ve been having a headache with the ToDo App from Microsoft, which is actually Wunderlist rebranded. I had split some of my work tasks into ToDo from Microsoft because it was free with my work email, an Office 365 account. ToDo from Microsoft was having serious problems, mostly whenever I had to check off a task, a zombie task would reappear and I’d have to check each task off twice. There were only a few tasks there, so converting them over to Remember The Milk was really easy.

Then as I was working with Remember The Milk, I thought that I might finally leave Toodledo, so I bought a yearly subscription to Remember The Milk, which gave me parity features with Toodledo, and then backed up my Toodledo account and imported the entire thing over to Remember The Milk.

So now all my tasks live in one place again, instead of Reminders, ToDo from Microsoft, and Toodledo, now it’s all Remember The Milk. We’ll see how it goes.
