I downloaded BusyCal & it updates and includes both, all reminders and apple calendar events. I did the trial but it seemed to work fine after it. I had it on my Mac tho
I run my life out of Apple Reminders and Apple Notes. They are both fantastic apps and wicked fast. Siri support in Reminders is perfection and I love the ability to neatly link my notes to reminders.
Same here. But lately I noticed the reminders app is starting to lag. Maybe it’s because I have too much data stored in the Reminders app. I use it very often, for both work and personal. I wish I could figure out how to speed up the Reminders app again.

Great video 👍 Learned some tricks here ! For my productivity, I creat a shortcut who runs himself at 5 in the morning that transform my calendar entries (tasks, events, and appointements) in reminders. I never forgot anything now 🤟
Thanks, Brandon! This vid was extremely helpful and informative. I had no clue Apple reminders could do all of this. Will be following you from now on!
I love apple reminder but it would be cool if the reminder can sync with the calendar event. Apple please make it happen ❤. Hope one day this will happen
I have not designed yet such a sophisticated system to use the reminders, but I completely agree with you that the Siri+reminders combo is the deadliest out there. I love it and I use it a lot. I will try to expand following your tips. Thank you very much for this great video!
Hey Brandon, excellent video, explaining how the Reminders app works. I'd like to hear your opinion on how to go about doing the things below. If you think it's worth your time, please develop and publish a video on them. * The Apple Calendar app has some features similar to some features in the Reminders app and vice versa. What would you recommend as to how to decide whether a task should go into the Calendar app or into the Reminders app? (I use a simple rule. If a task needs to be done at a particular day/time, I put in on the Calendar.) * What options can you name/describe as the basis for Reminder lists? The most common one is that a list is a "topic". There are others. * I've made sure that the folders/lists I have in the Calendar app, the Reminders app, and the Notes app are identical. Does this sound like a good idea?
Are the reminders persistent? Meaning, I can't clear them from the notification center until I mark them as done? Also, does anyone know if they those come back if you reboot your phone?
Been using reminders for a long time because I've never been a fan of how 3rd party apps give me notifications. Was excited about the grocery list auto-sorting, but I find it doesn't work. It's not sorting automatically at all. I'm running the latest iOS as of today. Oh well! Maybe it's a bug that it doesn't work for all (iPad or iPhone - I do not have a Mac).
Great vid! I just started using Reminders for things I used to have on my calendar and picked up some good tips. However... This confirms a problem I'm having is not a common bug. I can't change the list in the Reminders widget. When in edit widget mode, I tap the list, and it just dims. This works fine on my iPad. Brand new iPhone 15 Pro running 17.1, nothing.
Enjoyed the video. While using the reminders app on my iphone. When I search for keywords in a subtask, I wish the search results would pull up the entire reminder, rather than just the individual subtask. Do you know if there a way to do this?
Hi Brandon, is there a way to "share" the tags on shared lists as well? We're sharing a groceries list with my partner, in general we do our shopping at 2 different (sometimes 3) shops depending on the items. When I tag the items in my list with the name of the shop, it's easy to set a filter when I'm at a particular shop. However, these tags are not transferred on this shared list to my partners device. Any tricks? Thanks Deniz
@@BrandonMeves how do we get this kind of ideas to Apple? It would make sense to share tags in shared lists, or have the app to ask if you want to include tag-sharing. I look forward to an update video where explain this new feature with IOS 17.3 or so 😜
@@BrandonMeves is it possible to have the reminders widget showing the list in a sorterd manner? I’ve sorted the list by deadline on my iphone but the widget keeps ignoring this sortation and showing me the ones which I entered first
WOW.. AWESOME Video. I sent Apple a Suggestion to add Notes to the Calendar App. I WISH Apple create away to add Alarms to Apple Notes / Alerts like with EVERNOTE.
The Repeat function needs to offer two alternatives: base the new reminder's due date on either the due date of the competed item, or its completion date. Different situations require different solutions.
although I'm baffled, confounded, stupefied by the lack of integration between the Calendar, Reminders and Notes. They all should be connected and able to communicate with one another.
@@henrifischer1119 they definitely did but it’s a start.. I agree because there’s currently no option to even select or choose exactly which reminders you’d like to show in your calendar.. all they have is “scheduled reminders” in the calendar but what if I want to have only have one or two specific lists of scheduled reminders shown in my calendar to avoid clutter? Like I have my morning and night time routine steps in my reminders scheduled to repeat on certain days at certain times but instead I had to remove the repeats on that list so that I don’t have them cluttering my calendar as they’ll show every day taking up space when instead I want others to show!😂 I see where you’re coming from they didn’t do much with it but hopefully they fix that
Hod do you, or can you, drag an email into Reminders to create a task/reminder? A large proportion of my work is generated by email or phone calls so this is a fundamental requirement for me. I can do it in Things 3 but not Reminders (unless you tell me otherwise?)
I'm not sure I know of a way! You can link an email in a note within the Notes app by making a quick note while on the email, but don't know of a way in Reminders unfortunately.
Until they combine the two apps these are killing me. To many steps to do simple actions, if it wasn’t for siri i wouldn’t use apple calendar or reminders
Lots and lots of great info, but visual and dialogue just too fast for me. I find setting playback speed at .75 or even .5 to suit my ability to keep up. Hey. I'm an old fart so don't be critical!
![How iOS 18 Reminders + Notes Supercharged My Productivity [with Shortcuts]](/img/n.gif)
So many features, all I needed was ability to drag drop reminder onto the calendar app and the event sync both ways.
If you’re ok with paid apps fantastical does exactly does
I downloaded BusyCal & it updates and includes both, all reminders and apple calendar events. I did the trial but it seemed to work fine after it. I had it on my Mac tho
Good news, iOS 18 will do it
I got the beta for iOS 18 and it works beautifully
It's now in iOS 18 and its really good :)
The best thing is to get reminders from your watch
I've been using Apple products for years and never fully used REMINDERS to it's fullest and this definitely gave me some better ideas how to use it.

@@TJ-22Something is wrong. There should be no lag at all. Try turning your device(s) on and off. You might want to Google or contact Apple Support.
@@raygold1 I’ve tried turning it on and off many times. Apple support suggests doing a reset, so I’m trying to find an alternate solution.
I live north of Milwaukee and thought we were the only ones with that weird trash/recycling pickup schedule. 😂 Good video!
Great video, info and explanations. Thank you!
I use reminders for my workout plans from my coach:
Groups "Week 1 of 4, 2of4, 3of4, 4of4”LISTS: day1 legs, day 2 back/chest, day 3 shoulders arms, day 4 glues/hams
Tasks are the exercises themselves: barbell back squats - 3 sets 20/pulse 20 on last rep
Subtasks are my sets and reps and I log notes
set1 85# too heavy
set2 65# just right
set3 65# fail at 15
I save the lists as templates to reuse the same routine for 4 weeks. I’ll print my workouts when I’m done and share them with my coach to review and adapt. {I actually save them now as tabloid size PDF to files most days this allows all items to fit in one page}

Very useful, the pacing was just right for me. Thanks.

Super underrated content! First time I’ve commented this but you got a subscriber!:)
What do you say to Reminders taking up too much storage space? You actually have to delete a file on your Mac to at least reduce the size.
This awsome video really helped me understand that powerful app that I use daily even better. You rock!!!
I always enjoy your efforts. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!!
The siri snd reminder combo is super useful, thanks for the tip!
No problem!
So practical the examples. Thank you.
How many times I have seen this video?
Me: YES ‼
You’re one of the few people who is not forcing us to spend money on some SAS
I like the column view for leads and pipelines
Really nice video! I will give it a shot again.

Where do the “Siri” reminders go? Do they default as a free floating reminder list? (parentless folder)😊

This video really helps me
Love it, thanks for watching!
I use the grocery list option to make a pantry list, so I know what’s in my pantry.
Hmmm this may be a game changer
yes you can make mutiple "grocery list" and rename it i track whats in my deep freezer
Genius

I get a bit overwhelmed with the possibilities of how to keep track of everything and then find myself ignoring all of it 😂
I heard that Reminders and iCal will synchronize when they release iOS 18 ツ
thats what I heard too! crossing fingers!
Ancient One here, this is awesome,Siri is my gal Friday now [ do you youngstes get that reference?] “ hay Siri remind me to thank Brandon.”

What i need is the ability to archive some lists instead of erasing them
its helps
not enough memory to down load 17.
It would be nice if sections could be there own smart list instead of having to manually put specific reminders into sections.
I like it!
Anything that I can't trust my "loser brain" with 😂lmao

No to your first qn. Next video..
