RememberTheMilk Now Works Great Offline and is the Best Task Manager Around
I’ve been using the formerly online-only task manager at www.RememberTheMilk.com. It has a slick AJAX interface and great features that allow you to add tasks quickly, prioritize them, set recurring tasks, maintain multiple lists, integrate with Google apps, and so on.
My biggest problem with them was that the service would go down periodically, leaving me unable to update my list. The recent rollout of Google Gears, Google’s framework that allows web applications to operate in the absence of an Internet connection, and RTM’s integration with it has solved all my problems.
RTM now lets me switch between online and offline mode without disrupting the usefulness of the application.
I’ve been off Microsoft Outlook for about a year now (thanks to Google’s Domain Applications which gives you mail and calendar). Now the task management problem is solved as well. Nice job, RTM!

wow- that’s incredibly cool. I use backpackit for my to-do lists and I love them. The site’s a little more straighforward-there’s far fewer task-related options than RTM has, but that makes it simpler and quicker. However there are times (jury duty) when I’m working offline and want to see or use my to-do list and can’t. Might be worth switching…

I’ve been wishing for the same thing - taking it collaborative makes a lot of sense. I’ve recently switched from RTM over to Gmail’s internal task list, since it does basically the same thing as RTM. I imagine Google will take it collaborative soon.
