Using Alfred.app to add things to your Remember the Milk (RTM) lists
With the ability to add tasks to Remember the Milk using Siri, I’ve started using RTM quite a bit more than I used to. My issue with task/list managers was always the cumbersome nature of inputting data. Native apps sucked, or got in the way, and adding tasks via iPhone was just cumbersome. Now, I… Read more »
