Posted on 20th June 2023

Reminders is a great way to keep track of your to-do lists and tasks on your Mac. With the release of Mac OS Mojave, the app has been updated with a new look and some new features. Here’s how to use the Reminders app to get the most out of it.

Creating a New Reminder

To create a new reminder, click the “+” button in the top-right corner of the app. This will open a new window where you can enter the details of your reminder.

First, you’ll need to enter a title for your reminder. This can be anything you want, but it’s a good idea to keep it short and descriptive.

Next, you’ll need to enter the date and time for your reminder. You can either enter this manually or click the “Date & Time” field and choose a date and time from the pop-up calendar.

If you want to be reminded about your task on a specific day or time, you can set up a recurring reminder by clicking the “Repeat” field and choosing an option from the pop-up menu.

Finally, you can add a note to your reminder by clicking the “Notes” field and typing in your notes.

Once you’ve entered all the details for your reminder, click the “Add” button to save it.

Editing a Reminder

To edit a reminder, click on the reminder in the list and make your changes in the editing window that appears.

When you’re finished, click the “Done” button to save your changes.

Deleting a Reminder

To delete a reminder, click on the reminder in the list and then click the “Delete” button in the editing window that appears.

You can also delete a reminder by selecting it and pressing the “Delete” key on your keyboard.

Creating a To-Do List

A to-do list is a great way to keep track of all the things you need to do. To create a to-do list, click the “+” button in the top-left corner of the app and choose “New To-Do List” from the pop-up menu.

This will open a new window where you can enter the details of your to-do list.

First, you’ll need to enter a title for your to-do list. This can be anything you want, but it’s a good idea to keep it short and descriptive.

Next, you can add some items to your to-do list by clicking the “Add Item” button and typing in your items.

You can also add a due date to each item by clicking the “Due Date” field and choosing a date from the pop-up calendar.

Once you’ve added all the items to your to-do list, click the “Add” button to save it.

The Reminders app in Mac OS Mojave can be used to create to-do lists and set reminders for yourself. To use the app, launch it from the Dock or the Applications folder. The app will open with a default list called “Today”. To create a new list, click the “+” button in the sidebar.

Enter a name for your list and press Enter. To add items to your list, click the “+” button at the bottom of the window. A pop-up window will appear. Enter the name of the item and press Enter.

To set a reminder for an item, click the item and then click the “i” button. A pop-up window will appear. Enter the date and time for the reminder and click the “Set Reminder” button.

To mark an item as complete, click the item and then click the “check” button. The item will be struck through to indicate that it is complete.

The Reminders app can be synced with the iOS Reminders app, so that your lists and reminders are available on all of your devices. To set up syncing, click the “Preferences” button in the sidebar and then click the “Accounts” tab.

Click the “+” button and select “Add Account”. Choose “iCloud” from the list of account types and enter your iCloud credentials. Once you’ve added your iCloud account, make sure the “Reminders” switch is turned on.

Your lists and reminders will now sync between your Mac and your iOS devices.
