Remember the Milk Alternative?

**zegolf** · 01-27-2009, 06:35 AM

Hey CB Gang!

Remember the Milk is a great utility for synchronized lists (grocery lists, task lists, etc). However, it's a 15 day trial, and after that it's $25. Being a cheap@ss CB user, I'm really interested to see if there is an alternative app that allows for synchronization of tasks lists.

Thanks!

Did you try BBRTM? This is an independent port for RTM for BlackBerries.

rtm4bb - Google Code

It syncs OTA with RTM; you get an app on your BB which accesses the database.

The developer is still working on enhancements like being able to enter tasks on BB. In any case, it is free; I have since deleted the native task app.

So it's good enough to get rid of the native app? I'll have to give it a try when I get to my BB. Thank you so much for the link, this looks to be exactly like what I'm looking for!

Try Keepup - Individual and Group Reminder Service

It's not a app persay, but it will shoot you reminders via email of numerous tasks you input. I believe at this time there is only a iPhone app. but I can talk with the developer and see if he plans to make a Blackberry app., He is a co-worker of mine.

reQall works, but I might try to find something more powerful.
reQall
Toodledo should be coming out with a beta soon. They even have a comparison of how they stack up against Milk.

I'm enjoying reQall myself, just wish the BB app was updated for the Storm, but that's minor imo

I show my dedication to my BB by owning one DESPITE not being able to take it with me to work! Rest assured...I hug it and tell it that everything is ok when I finally get to it.

Just had to let you know that "Remember the Milk Alternative?" is one of the funniest thread titles ever, if you're unaware of what "Remember the Milk" is.

But I'm sick and high on DayQuil, so it's probably just me.

Completely off topic: It reminds me, now that I've gone back and read it, of the book called "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation"

And in case no one knows the joke:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

'Well, I'm a panda', he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'

i use MaraTick:

OTA Download http://www.mongoltoronto.com/bb/mt/MaraTick.asp

i don't know if it syncs...

i thought the thread title was funny too and would be about soy milk.

**zegolf** · 01-28-2009, 04:59 AM

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I'm just going to try them all and see which one works.

I'll also try to come up with better thread titles in the future.

thanks for this discussion i found it looking for (guess) an alternative to $25 a year. reqall looks really cool and it will allow me to sync lists between my BB with my wifes iphone which is what i also was looking for. thanks again

Make that basic version is $14.95. We did an informal survey of our beta testing group and they really came through! With over 200 responses, the majority of them thought we needed to lower our entry point to using TaskJot. So, we did.

Go check out the new prices and feature matrix at TaskJot - Task Management Solution for your Blackberry Phone

The maker of PodTrapper has an app called HoneyDew that syncs lists between two BlackBerries (for instance, you and your significant other) so both of you have the same lists and you can add to each other's. Although I am sure you can use it just by yourself.

HoneyDew - A synchronized todo and task list for BlackBerry | VersatileMonkey.com

Its in beta so it's free at the moment.
