What's new in 0.4: The app uses last size and position of \"Add Task\" pop-up to open the pop-up next time.

More info about the extension:

You may know the \"Quick Add\"-bookmarklet [ https://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/?ctx=quickadd.whatis ], that allows quickly add tasks to RTM. Unfortunately it doesn't include URL of based webpage.

This extension solves this problem. It based on simple bookmarklet described in the tip: [ http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/tips/3133/ ]. Extension works similarly to that bookmarklet, but it doesn't need additional bookmark panel or over clicks for using. It's displayed near the address bar that's why it's much more convenient.

This product uses the Remember The Milk page but is not endorsed or certified by Remember The Milk. It doesn't use Remember The Milk API.

Armando (ID: 0000006422366d80) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/12/2020 Works better than the official app since it accurately captures the source URL from my Gmail. The official app cant do this.

Eyal Erez (ID: 0000002231db0394) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/23/2018 Very useful, however, it relies on RTM's mobile view which seems to be discontinued on June 1, 2018. I hope this will continue to work somehow.
