Remember The Milk iPhone App Now Free, with a Little Catch

The Remember The Milk online task management service now has a free iPhone app “ though it ‘s not quite the full-powered version of the app.  Until yesterday, you had to have a Pro account with Remember The Milk in order to use the iPhone app.

Now there is a ‘basic app ‘ that is free for all RTM users, but with some limits; and a full-featured app for those who do have a Pro account.

Here ‘s the details on the new free app deal, straight from the Remember The Milk Blog:

The basic app is now free for everyone!
Nope, we’re not crazy okay, maybe just a tiny bit (but shh, don’t tell anybody). From today, we’re making just about the entire iPhone app available free for everyone to use ” yay!

What’s the catch? We’ve introduced a limit to the free app: you’ll be able to sync manually once every 24 hours with the Remember The Milk servers, which is great for backing up your tasks and notes online.

The Push Notification service is also unavailable in the free app (we can’t give you everything free, now can we? ;). But aside from that, you get all the goodness of our iPhone app free!

And what you get if you use a Pro account:

  • Unlimited auto-syncing with Remember The Milk online. That’s right, just let the app sync for you, or tap that little ‘sync’ button as often as you please.
  • Smart auto-sync that automatically sends task changes to Remember The Milk within seconds. No more wondering if you have changes that need syncing!
  • Keep in sync with your tasks on multiple devices. Got an iPod touch as well as an iPhone? Maybe you also use another device? The syncing goodness means you’ll have your tasks up-to-date everywhere you use the app.Push Notification reminders and badge updates. Not only will we send you lovely
  • Push Notification reminders, but if you add or change tasks via another Remember The Milk interface (like, say, the web app), we’ll make sure to update the badge number on your device via Push Notification to reflect these changes.

Remember The Milk was one of my early favorite task managers on the iPhone, back in pre App Store days.  It ‘s a very nice option if you like to have an online plus iPhone setup for tracking your to-dos.

You can find Remember The Milk in the App Store now, and it is a free app.
