- May 26, 2020 Mac App and Upgrading. There's also a revamped version of Reminders for the Mac in macOS Catalina, with many of the same features. With the Mac app, you can also create reminders.
- Mar 25, 2020 Where to sync your iPhone or iPad on macOS Catalina Instead of using iTunes to sync your mobile device in macOS Catalina, you'll use Finder: Click on the Finder app on the Mac Dock. Select your device on the left side of the screen under Devices.
Some users have reported that they are unable to sync their iPhone / iPad with their Mac after updating to macOS Catalina. The Finder app doesn’t seem to recognize the connected iPhone or iPad. If you are experiencing this issue, here are some tips that can use to fix this sync issue on your MacBook running macOS Catalina.
Last weekend I finally finished migrating all of my Macs and iDevices to Catalina/ iOS 13 (a process that started in September last year, but was put on hold due to the poor quality of Catalina). Everything went well until then...
The problems started when I pressed 'update' in all of the reminders apps so I could use the new functions. Because from this point on some my devices (my Apple Watch and iPhone 8+, both on the latest version of watchOS and iOS), which were working perfectly fine for months, all of a sudden ran through an entire battery within hours. Completely resetting the Apple Watch, and killing the reminders app in the app switcher + restarting the iPhone 8 seems to have fixed the battery issue for now, but I'm still not 100% sure everything is back to normal there (only time will tell).
Furthermore, all of my Macs were really struggling with the reminders update (often showing the 'The creator of this list has upgraded these reminders'-notice for hours while some wheel was turning next to 'My Lists'). Several deactivations and activations of 'reminders' in the macOS settings later the update did go through, so in the end all of my devices now run the new version of reminders.
But the problems don't stop there. Because even more so than before the reminders app update syncing just doesn't happen, meaning that tasks I mark as completed on one device keep showing up on some or all of the other devices even hours later, while newly created reminders don't show up at all. The same is true for any changes I make to a reminder (time or description, for example).
Have you guys experienced any of the issues mentioned above? And are you aware of any solution?
Cheers,
Daniel
I made the decision a few weeks ago to install the beta of macOS Catalina. It’s still pretty buggy, but since I enjoy testing out new features (and writing about them), I am willing to deal with the crashes and incompatibility throughout the summer. One of the biggest surprises for me has been the changes in the Reminders app. Over the years, I used several to-do/GTD/project management/task apps. From Kindless GTD, Omnifocus, Things, and Todoist, I’ve used a lot of them. I’ve always looked at the Reminders app with interest, though. It’s hard to beat the advantages of a built in-app. With macOS Catalina and iOS 13, the Reminders app is finally ready to take its place alongside the rest of the task apps on the Apple ecosystem.
New design
Over the years, Reminders has looked more like a simple list app than an actual task app. Even as the iOS design was simplified, Reminders still slightly resembled its pre-iOS 7 design. iOS 13 and macOS Catalina brings an entirely new design to the Reminders app. It’s the first significant overhaul of the Reminders app I can remember since version 1. The new design allows you to better organize your tasks and projects where the previous version felt like it was useful for making a simple grocery list.
In the redesigned Reminders app, there are four main sections. They include Today, Scheduled, All, and Flagged. These sections will pull in tasks from all of your lists whether they are personal or work-related.
New features in iOS 13 and macOS Catalina
Back June of 2018, I wrote an article about some features that I wanted to see Apple add to Reminders. One of them was sub-tasks, and Apple made it a reality in 2019. By dragging tasks under each other, you can create nested tasks. This feature will allow you to get more organized with more complex projects.
While iOS 13 and macOS Catalina didn’t bring a share sheet to Apple’s Mail app, you can now share text from an email into the Reminders app, and the app will associate the tasks with the email so you can easily pull it back up when you go to work on the task. You can do the same thing with websites, maps, etc.
Natural Language input is something I relied on with Todoist, and Reminders is also adding support for it. While the natural language support is not as robust as some of the other apps, you can now type things like Call Bob tomorrow, and Reminders can process that as being due tomorrow. When it comes to task entry, this is something that can speed up your work.

I am thrilled to see Apple putting work into the Reminders ecosystem this year, and I hope it continues in the future. I’d love to see more robust attachment support and the ability to forward a task via email (with a random iCloud generated email address). Apple set the groundwork in 2019 for Reminders to get a lot better in the future. Are you running the betas of the new Apple operating systems? What do you think about the upgraded Reminders app? Let me know in the comments.
