***Brief: Remember The Milk is a [to-do app available for Linux](https://itsfoss.com/to-do-list-apps-linux/) with free and paid plans. You’ll learn its features and the installation steps in this article.***

Non-FOSS alert!

Remember The Milk is not an open source software. We have covered it here because the developers made an effort to bring their application to Linux.

## Remember The Milk: An Effective To-Do App

![Remember The Milk](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/01/remember-the-milk.png)

[Remember The Milk](https://www.rememberthemilk.com/?ref=itsfoss.com) is a to-do app that includes a bunch of essential features required to manage your daily tasks. In addition to the mobile apps (and the support for Apple Watch), it also offers desktop counterparts (electron-based) and the ability to integrate with various services like Gmail.

No matter whether it’s your personal set of routines or just work – you can use it for almost anything you want. 

It is worth noting that is not an open-source solution. However, it does provide a Linux package if you do not want to utilize the web browser. So, if you are looking for some other solutions that are potentially open-source, you can take a look at our list of [Evernote alternatives](https://itsfoss.com/5-evernote-alternatives-linux/) as well.

- Gmail integration of Tasks
- Add tasks using Google Assistant, Siri, or Alexa

- Ability to create sub-tasks
- Mobile apps available for BlackBerry 10, Android and iOS along with the support for tablets (and Amazon Fire too!)

And, this doesn’t stop here, under-the-hood, you will find a lot of useful tweaks/options to manage your tasks/lists. 

It is also worth noting that if you are on a free account, keep in mind that you can only have an archive of completed tasks for the last 7 days.

While it offers a lot of features for free, you will be missing out on some of the essentials unless you upgrade it to the paid plan.

## Installing Remember The Milk On Linux

**Wrapping Up**

Of course, it is a bummer that it isn’t an open-source solution. However, it works quite well on Linux and on the web browser.

If you are in need of task management services (or to-do list apps), this is a potential option that offers an offline experience with the premium plan. Nevertheless, it all comes down to your preferences.
