Apple Reminders + TimeFinder
Give your reminders time in your day.
Keep capturing tasks in Apple Reminders. Plan when you’ll do them in TimeFinder, with your list beside your schedule.
How to time block Apple Reminders tasks
TimeFinder syncs selected Apple Reminders lists with its task lists on iPhone, iPad and Mac. In Split View, drag an imported task into a time slot and resize the block to allow the time you need.
Choose your Reminders lists
In TimeFinder, open Settings → Sync with Apple Reminders. Turn sync on, allow Reminders access when asked, and choose the lists you want to connect. Sync requires Premium access.
Plan beside your list
Open Split View and select an imported list. Drag a task onto the schedule at the time you want to work on it. A due date is a deadline; the time block is your plan for doing the work.
Adjust the day as it unfolds
Resize or move the block when your plans change. Extend a meeting when it runs over, then review the work after it.
What syncs with Apple Reminders?
TimeFinder’s schedule is where you choose the time and length of a work block. Manage Reminders recurrence rules, notifications, tags and attachments in Apple Reminders.
| Detail | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Titles, notes and due dates | Supported changes sync between the linked task and reminder. |
| Completion | Completing a linked task is reflected in Reminders, and reminder updates are imported into TimeFinder. |
| Lists | Choose lists when you turn sync on. Auto-add new lists brings in lists you create later. Auto-delete lists removes a list from TimeFinder after you delete it in Reminders. |
| Subtasks | Reminders subtasks are imported as separate tasks; their native nesting is not preserved. |
| Reminders with the same title | On first import, reminders with identical titles in the same list may be combined into one TimeFinder task. |
Which devices connect to Reminders?
Connect Apple Reminders from TimeFinder on iPhone, iPad or Mac. Keep Reminders permission enabled on the device doing the sync. Android, Windows and the web do not directly connect to Apple’s on-device Reminders database.
If you sign in to TimeFinder, your TimeFinder lists and schedule can sync across your devices. That is separate from granting a device access to Apple Reminders.
Changing lists or turning sync off
Turning off Sync with Apple Reminders removes the imported lists and their tasks from TimeFinder. Removing a list from your selection does the same for that list.
If a list does not appear
Check that the list is available in Apple Reminders on the same device, then check TimeFinder’s Reminders permission in system settings. If you created the list after setting up sync, turn on Auto-add new lists in Sync with Apple Reminders. Sync also needs active Premium access.
If it still does not appear, email [email protected].
