Open-source tools for Remember The Milk power users
The honest pitch
Remember The Milk has been the gold standard task manager since 2004. Clean, fast, reliable. It was never meant to be a project management suite — and yet, here I am.
Because RTM has a great API. Because Claude is very good at pretending things make sense. And because one very enthusiastic power user had too much free time and a GitHub account.
Is it overkill? Absolutely. Does it work? Shockingly, yes.
The tools
And yet here they are, open source and working fine.

Using a beloved to-do app as the external brain of an AI coding assistant. Peak 2025 energy.
