How to never forget important stuff
Apple's Reminders app is an obvious solution for creating reminders on Mac and iPhone. But is it the best one? Let's take a look at some solid alternatives.
Reminder tools that fit your lifestyle
Jot down instant to-dos
Take a step back and think about how you create reminders in the first place. Sometimes, it’s just a random thought. Other times, it’s an interesting finding that you discover and want to be reminded of later. 2Do helps you create reminders from anywhere — apps, docs, or browsers.
Add a shortcut for Quick Entry in 2Do Settings. Then, whenever you need to create a reminder, use the shortcut and a pop-up with a reminder entry will appear on the screen.
Create persistent reminders
Ever missed those one-time reminders? Try Due. The app will gently nudge you every 5, 10, or 15 minutes until you complete your task — perfect for important things you keep procrastinating on.
Due understands natural language, so scheduling reminders only takes a few seconds.
Sync reminders with tasks and calendar
GoodTask integrates with Reminders and Calendar, so you can see your to-dos and events in one place. The app brings many additional features, from custom themes to smart lists that organize your reminders based on tags, location, or priority.
Replace reminders with countdown timers
Maybe your reminders just look plain boring? Change things up and replace reminders with countdown timers that live in your menu bar. Moment will ensure you'll never miss birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events.
