I’ve been playing with Apple Reminders a bit this week and come to the conclusion I don’t trust it and therefore can’t rely on it. I had some hope with it to simplify things but it’s just proved another app that Apple isn’t putting any real development time behind. As you can see, I check…

Apple Reminders is one of the most flexible to do apps on iOS (and it’s free!)
I’ve been using Apple Reminders for a little while now in parallel with Things 3 and Todoist as a test and I have to say that Reminders is more flexible. I’m able to add a URL, Notes and Images to a task and it’s available from the share sheet in all of the places I…

Why you should use Apple Reminders
I’m moving between task managers a lot more than usual with my new budgeting measures and after a week with Reminders I’m starting to understand the benefits of using the built in app over paying for a third party. Sync Data sync between my iPhone and MacBook has been rock solid. It’s even at the…

After iOS 14.2 and the update to the Reminders widget (to allow you to see more than one task in the smaller widget) I thought I’d dip back into the app. I’m testing alongside others but here’s how I’m setting up my structure. I’d forgotten about the ability to create sub projects so I created…

I’ve been trying a few different apps but still not settled but that’s a post for another day, back to Reminders. I reinstalled the app on my iPhone and it was immediately broken.

Zombie Apple Reminders
This is a good one, so I recently purged everything out of Reminders and it’s iCloud database. The weird thing is that slowly but surely they are coming back but only for things scheduled. I had several daily Reminders that remind me to take a break and get out for a walk, these were moved…
