Reminders is a task management program developed byApple Inc. for theiriOS,macOS,watchOS,iPadOS andvisionOS platforms that allows users to create lists and set notifications for themselves.[1] The app was first introduced iniOS 5 andOS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" and was rebuilt from the ground up with the release ofiOS 13.[2]
Reminders are placed into four categories which can be found at the top of the screen; "Today", "Scheduled", "All", and "Flagged". Users can also create their own lists of reminders. New reminders can be placed into lists or set as subtasks[3] and can include several details including: a priority tag,[4] a note about the reminder, and an image orURL attachment.
Tasks appear in theNotification Center 24 hours before the time a reminder is set for. Additionally, alarms can be set for reminders, sending a notification to users at a certain time and date, when ageofence around an area is crossed, or when amessage starts being typed to a set contact.[5] If a time-based alert is set, it can repeat every day, week, two weeks, month, or year.
Reminders can be marked as completed (checked) and are automatically hidden.[6] Lists can be synced between iOS, macOS, watchOS, iPadOS and visionOS throughiCloud[7] as well as shared with other contacts. Once shared, tasks can be added or completed by anyone with access to a list and specific reminders can be assigned to different people.[5]
