Remember the Milk - Task Management Made Easy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Remember the Milk is used to manage all tasks, both personal and professional, keep notes related to those tasks, and set reminders. We can add tasks directly from Gmail without leaving the inbox at all. The added tasks can include a link back to the original email, and of course, you can add the due date, add to an appropriate list and tag the task. A really useful time-saver.
