Remember The Milk has been around longer than most apps here and still has one of the most flexible ways to slice a task list. You organize with lists, tags, priorities, due dates and repeats, then save any search as a Smart List that updates itself. Reminders can arrive by email, text, IM or mobile notification, and the service connects to Gmail, Google Calendar and Evernote. On Android, though, the free plan is thin. Remember The Milk's own listing puts subtasks, unlimited sharing, reminders on your mobile device, badges and widgets behind Pro, along with Outlook sync, IFTTT and Zapier, and MilkScript for writing your own automations. The upgrade page shows Pro at $49.99 a year and limits the free archive of completed tasks to the last 7 days. That is the same yearly price as TickTick Premium, which includes a timer and habits. The Android app was last updated in June 2026, while most rivals here shipped updates in October or November.
