Remember The Milk for Android

You'll need Android 4.0.1 and above. The app won't work on previous versions of the OS, sorry.

To download and install the app, search Google Play for "Remember The Milk" or follow this download link from your device.

Yes, if you happen to own more than one Android device, you're welcome to install the app on multiple devices. Each device syncs through your Remember The Milk account. Push syncing helps to keep the tasks on each device in sync; changes that you make to your Remember The Milk tasks on one device will sync up with the other devices so you're up-to-date.

The app is currently available from:

1. Google Play
2. Amazon Appstore

We're sorry that we cannot provide support for Android devices that have been "jailbroken" or "rooted", or devices that cannot install or did not come with either Google Play or Amazon Appstore.

1. On your device, go to Settings > Apps
2. Press "Remember The Milk".
3. Press Uninstall.
4. If you'd like to install the app again, simply follow the usual installation instructions.

Yes! Most screens work in landscape mode too. Just flip your device to landscape to try it out.

The app is divided into "cards". When viewing a list or a task, there is a card for each; these will stack atop one another. It's then possible to slide these cards left and right to continue navigating.

Just try it out by tapping and sliding around the app!

You can also use the 'Back' button at the top left to go out of details instead of swiping, and the 'Menu' button at the top left of a list view to view the sidebar.

Note: When trying to navigate from a task list back to the side menu, swipe from the left edge of the screen to the right. The left edge of the screen is reserved for this motion, even if there's a task underneath.

Once you've drilled down your tasks further (for example, by going to Lists then Personal then tapping on a task), to get back to the top level:

1. Swipe from left to right to navigate back card by card.
2. To navigate all the way back (in this example, back to Lists) you can swipe along the top of the screen.

Each Android device has its own colors and theme, so the app might look a little bit different on your device. Rest assured that it will still work the same, though! :)

Your device communicates with our servers using a secure HTTPS connection to transfer both login details and tasks data. HTTPS is a secure protocol that provides authenticated and encrypted communication.

Yes, the app will sync in the background to keep you up-to-date. By default, changes will auto sync from the web app and the Android app; these changes push to keep your tasks in sync.

If you don't want to wait for the auto sync, you can perform a manual sync:

1. Scroll down on a task list, a details screen, or the left menu when they are scrolled to the top until a spinning icon appears.

You can change your sync settings on the Settings screen.

The app has been designed to keep battery usage and data transfer to a minimum.

If you're concerned about resource usage, you're welcome to change your sync settings. You can change the sync schedule to make the app sync less frequently, or even change the sync mode to 'manual' on the Settings screen.

1. Navigate to the Settings screen by tapping its icon in the upper left.
2. Select Sync to see the available settings.
3. Once you're finished, press < Back > to return to the previous screen.

1. Navigate to the Settings screen by tapping its icon in the upper left.
2. Tap on Sync.
3. Tap Sync Mode and select the desired option.
4. Press < Back > to return to the previous screen.

1. Navigate to the Settings screen by tapping its icon in the upper left.
2. Tap on Sync.
3. Tap Sync Schedule and select the desired option.
4. Press < Back > to return to the previous screen.

No problem! You can continue using the app, just as you normally would. If you have the app set to 'auto' sync, once the Internet connection is available again, the app will attempt its auto sync as scheduled.

That depends on how many tasks and notes you have in your account! If you have a lot of tasks in Remember The Milk already, you might wish to set up the app using a Wi-Fi connection (rather than your device's mobile connection) to speed things up.

The initial sync needs to transfer all your tasks and notes from Remember The Milk to your device. To make things a little faster, by default it will only transfer completed tasks going one month back. If you'd like to change this setting, once you're set up you can find this option on the Settings screen.

1. On your task list, tap the + icon at the bottom right.
2. Enter your task name. You can use Smart Add shortcuts to include extra details about the task.
3. Tap Done to add the new task.

With Smart Add, you can include many task details at once, e.g.:

Pick up the milk tomorrow

Take out the Trash on Tuesday *weekly #errand

If you don't remember the shortcuts, don't worry! When adding your task, just tap on one of the icons (due date, priority, etc) below the 'Add Task' bar. You'll then see a list of quick options you can tap, such as common due dates or tags you've created. You can also start typing to filter the options (e.g., find your tags that start with "p"), or enter something that's not in the list.

To save you time, tasks will add fields by context. If you choose to add a task while on your Today list, the task will automatically be due today. The same applies to tasks added on any day, list, Smart List, tag, or location screen.

While the Android app doesn't currently support setting up sharing with other users, if you have already shared a list via the website, the list will continue to be shared when accessed with the Android app. So, once you make changes to shared tasks on your device and sync them with Remember The Milk, the person who you're sharing with on Remember The Milk will get your changes too.

Smart Lists are special lists that are created based on criteria that you define, and are automatically updated as your tasks change.

For example, you can create Smart Lists that only show:

• Tasks due in the upcoming month
• Tasks with no due date
• Tasks that are more than one week overdue
• Tasks that have been completed in the past week
• Tasks with high priority
• Tasks with time estimates less than 1 hour
• Tasks that have been postponed 3 times already
• Tasks that are shared with anyone
• Tasks that are shared with Bob T. Monkey
• Tasks that are tagged with 'mall'
• Tasks that contain the word 'phone'

Smart Lists can also be based on multiple criteria, for example:

• Tasks in my 'Work' list with high priority
• Tasks that are high priority and due in the upcoming week
• Tasks that are high priority or medium priority
• Tasks that are shared with anyone due in the upcoming week
• Tasks that are tagged with both 'mall' and 'gift'

You can learn more about the advanced search operators available here.

Tasks added in Smart Lists will use that list's criteria -- so if your Smart List contains all your tasks tagged with 'phone', any tasks you add will be automatically tagged with that too. You can learn more about how tasks are added to Smart Lists here.

Start by performing a search with your desired criteria:

1. Navigate to the Search screen by tapping its icon in the upper left.
2. Enter a word (or multiple words) that appears in the name of the task you want to locate. (You can also use advanced search operators.)
3. Tap Search to see the results.

Once you've tested the search and are happy with the criteria, you're ready to create the Smart List.

1. On the search results screen, tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Save Smart List.
2. Tap the List Name field and enter the name.
3. Tap the Sort Order field and change the sort order, if desired.
4. Tap Save.

Your Smart List has now been created; you can access it under the Smart Lists section in the left menu.

1. Navigate to the Smart Lists section in the left menu.
2. Tap the Smart List you wish to rename to bring up its task list.
3. Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit Smart List.
4. Tap the list name field and edit the name.
5. Tap Save.

You can add any frequently used Smart Lists to your Favorites for quick access from the left menu. To add a Smart List to your Favorites:

1. Navigate to the Smart Lists section in the left menu.
2. Tap the Smart List you wish to favorite to bring up its task list.
3. Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit Smart List.

3. Tap the Title Bar at the top of the screen and then tap Edit Smart List.
4. Tap the Sort Order field and select the sort order.
5. Tap Save.

When you make changes to tasks in the app, each Smart List needs to be re-checked to see if the task has to be added or removed from that Smart List. For example, if your Smart List shows high priority tasks, if you change a task from high priority to medium priority, the Smart List has to re-check and figure out that the task doesn't belong in the list anymore.

While a Smart List is re-checking (which happens in the background as you use the app), it won't be able to show an accurate count of tasks in the list. It will show 'smart' until it figures out an accurate task count.

Tags are like keywords or labels that you can add to a task to make it easier to find and organize later.

1. Navigate to the Tags section in the left menu.
2. Tap the + icon to the right of the title.
3. Tap the Tag Name field and enter the name.
