APPLE’S REMINDERS APP has come a long way over the last few years. From a fairly basic to–do list tool that allowed us to set alerts, to a fully-fledged task manager that supports multiple lists, tagging, and sharing with others. Throw in the fact that it syncs with iCloud across all your devices, and there’s no excuse for forgetting anything ever again. And if typing details of a task into your iPhone or Mac is too much effort, you can ask Siri to do it for you. Creating basic reminders really couldn’t be easier. But Reminders goes way beyond the basics.
Let’s say you want to remind yourself to buy tickets for a concert just before they go on sale. You could create the reminder, add the URL of the ticket sales site and the price of the ticket. That way, when the reminder alert is triggered, you can just tap the reminder to navigate directly to the website. Need to remember to buy milk next time you’re in the supermarket? Set a geofenced reminder that’s triggered the next time iOS senses your location is close to that supermarket.
As we’ll demonstrate over these next few pages, it’s easy to create and schedule reminders, make your own lists, or templates for lists, and store them in folders. Plus, you can build Smart Lists based on tags, collaborate on shared lists with others, and much more.
