The Verdict
Remember The Milk is an excellent task management app - the natural language syntax is quick, the affordability ($49.99/year) is great, and the integration ecosystem is solid. It's been trusted for 20+ years. However, RTM is purely a task manager - it lacks habit tracking, goal setting, calendar integration for planning, and family coordination. If you're using RTM + other apps for habits, calendar planning, goals, and family tasks, consolidate into Mind Your Now. You get RTM's smart task management PLUS daily Compass briefings that integrate tasks with habits, calendar, and goals. Mind Your Now also includes family coordination, better pricing on the free tier, and AI that learns your patterns. For busy people wanting smart task management that integrates with their whole life, Mind Your Now is the better choice.

- Complete personal + family productivity system (not just tasks)
