The native Reminder's app on the iPhone kind of sucks. Well, in this video, I break down how to use it effectively as a To-Do List. The benefit of using this is speed, compatibility across devices, and no monthly fee.

How this guy giving us both technical and spiritual advice at the same time
best of both worlds I guess, eh
Great focus, thanks, I concur not so much conquering but more concurring these days. Helps reduce friction
I wish app designers already knew how to make apps easy and simple to use. I guess we are at that point where people still haven't figured how to make things user friendly enough.
Why can’t I get the reminders to actually remind me and pop up on my notifications center?
this is actually what i need lol
Go to settings > notifications > Reminders> and then turn it on
@@evanridez9659 Even in the setting, it says all day reminders but still no notification based on the instructions in your video. also, notification is on. Help!
i’m having the same problem, once i check the reminders app after my reminder was scheduled, it’s gone but it never gave me a notification.
exactly apple take notes pls
I felt that when you said I tried every reminder app in the App Store 😂😂
😂😂 every single one was like, "maybe this will work", nope haha
@@dltnio except google calendar
@@dltnio How about the app MinimaList? This one takes the cake for me.
When I do the exact same thing you did, there is no option in my widget for "add new reminder", I have to click on the widget in order to add a new one, so it's one more click and slightly annoying. Does anyone know if I can change this somewhere in settings?
Hey thanks for uploading this, this is so useful! I didn’t have a clue how to use the reminders, and of course my widget section is not cluttered anymore 👍
Yay! I'm glad it could help. Yeah, I love Apple and their products, but the reminders app just isn't user friendly haha
I just watched 2-3 videos and I already started liking your channel. Thank you and all the best.
Thanks man! I appreciate that a lot.
Nice! I like the minimalist design and usability of Apple native products but sometimes I find it hard to figure out the most effective approach to utilize the apps. Thanks for posting!
Glad it helped! I feel the same way.
Omg thank you for helping me actually use my phone properly life saver!
Such a simple and genius way to use this. Love the idea of reducing friction. Only watched 2 videos from this channel so far and was already able to utilize things from both videos. Great content, easy sub.
Thank you for this it's improved my workflow so much!
2:20 love that 😎 “don’t be dumb”
Straight to the point! Very informative, thank you!
Hope it helped!
just discovered your channel since I wanted to optimise the way I use the remainder app and you are making good content
Good luck optimizing! I appreciate the kind words.
Awesome :) I have everything apple related so this will ensure I keep my life organised between music production, Vlogging, podcast and life in general :)
Bruh When you said Hey Siri remind me at six. My Siri actually went off even though I’m watching the video using the phone
👀 👀
I don’t have the Reminders option under my widget list. Any ideas ? Thanks for the content !
Me too idk
Press the plus button it will pop out
I did exactly what you said to do and now its so much easier for me to use the app. Very good details. Thanks.
Glad it worked!
Please help! I added the reminders widget to the widget section but it is not interactive the way it is in this video. I cannot check things off or add a new reminder directly from the widget. Any solutions?
This video is fire bro! You have over 20K views in a such a short span of time! Great job. You’ve tapped into a major market with this one!
Thank you! I had to make a video one week and just thought, "yeah sure I'll do this one" and it's smashing!
Dalton Mabery Sure is Bro! Blessings 🙏🏾
minimalism productivity!! finally someone explaining more about it. My thing with apps is they have so much extra fluff that I don't even need/want and it all gets in my way. Def subscribing.
Loucielago that means so much to me! Yes 🙌🏻 there’s so much to apps and it can be overwhelming! They’re supposed to make life easier, not harder. Thanks for the support!
Hola! Saludos desde España 😁 Me gustaría saber si hay alguna manera de que los recordatorios con fecha y hora programada se puedan ver en el calendario de Apple. Me encantan tus videos!
How do I get the reminder to show up everyday instead of just one day?? Like everyday at a set time??
You can just set an alarm or put it on your calendar
Great video ...but I’m trying to find a way where my reminders appear on my calendar as “upcoming events”. I been an iPhone user since the iPhone 6s but I haven’t used the reminders and calendar apps that much. Is it possible ?
I really want to thank you for doing this video because it was so helpful. I have needed a reminder app and today I said I’m going to figure it out. This app wouldn’t work properly but your suggestion has made it work and actually remind me of the things that need to be done.
This is a great idea. Thanks man. Always better than paying monthly for other reminder apps.
First time I've found one of your videos I love your minimalistic style. I just feel you need to slow down a take a breath, relax just a little. You can still keep your no BS approach which I'm sure is loved by all of us. I shall follow your channel avidly from now on. KS Manchester England
Thanks for following.
I see the passion for you wanting to use the reminders app 🔥
I have decided to use Notes
I have broken mines down Buy three categories
Morning chores
Night chores
Things to buy
And I don’t scratch off of my list I just update the new action or status,
Thanks for your video. I set everything up on my phone like you said and I love being able to deposit my thoughts all in 1 spot. But I can't figure out 2 things - how do I sink it with my MBP? and how do I schedule the daily reminders?
Tricia Ross MBP? What’s that?
Dalton Mabery MAC Book Pro laptop
they'll sync automatically if you're signed in with the same itunes ID
@@triciaross5985 daily is an option you can set. it's called frequency
Great video!! How do I set the reminder to reoccur every month (for paying bills)?
Thank you! Make a new reminder, and select the little "i" button on the right.
Select the 'Repeat' option and select monthly. Boom, all set!
Dalton Mabery thanks so much!!
THANK YOU! As someone who just switched over to an iPhone from a Droid, your videos are super helpful! One suggestion: maybe slow your rate of speech. I have to keep pausing and rewinding to figure out what you're doing. Other than that, you're great!
You know what I’m starting to like this channel. You sir have earned a new subscriber 👍
why thank you so much!
Why don't you have more subscribers?! You're awesome! Straight to the point and useful info :) New subbie!
My So-Called Teacher Life 🤷🏼♂️ the algorithm I guess. Thanks for the kind words!
Keep doing these iPhone tips and tricks man. They really help. 💯 appreciate it.
Appreciate the words Jason!
great video man, really gonna use the app now
LifeStyle Studios thanks for the kind words! good luck 🤛🏼
love your content, hope you can make more videos about productivity and maybe about minimalism.
Thank you! That's what my plan is. Any topics specifically?
Dalton Mabery minimalist lifestyle or how to achieve goals from productivity, and guide for good living?
You mentioned if you set a reminder three days from now, it will remind you every day at your specified time until that day comes or until you mark it as complete. I have never been able to get it to do that. I set a reminder for a certain day with no time. It will not remind me each day like you mentioned..only on the date the reminder is due at the time I set as my today notification. How do you get it to remind you each day? Also, my reminders widget doesn't give me the option to "add a reminder" like yours does. How do I get that? Thanks! Great video!
Thanks for posting! I’m not always liking the native apps either. But decided I wanted a catch all kind of list and ultimately chose your video. So glad I did -just set it up and we’ll see how it works.
Is there not a way to archive some reminders?
How did you set up the Alfred Workflow. Great content. I would love to do that.
Plan on doing that video soon! What specifically are you looking for?
Dalton Mabery yes to use option R to open reminders
Honestly, Thank you!
Of course! Super happy to help.
It was really useful! Thank you
Please help! I added the reminders widget to the widget section but it is not interactive the way it is in this video. I cannot check things off or add a new reminder directly from the widget. Any solutions?
@EvanRidez Even in the setting, it says all day reminders but still no notification based on the instructions in your video. also, notification is on. Help!
Awesome. Love that - "No friction".
Yessir! The ultimate thing to watch out for.
This is an amazing tip! Thank you!
Thanks for this vid but at this stage of my technical ability it's too complicated for me. I don't know the meanings of some of the terms (one example: widgets?)
change the speed of the video to 0.75
I stopped watching and just started to read the comments.
Yo! That was clean, boss! 👊🏾✨
Hi Dalton, I downloaded last night iOS 14.0 and I'm not sure if that is the reason my Reminders widget looks different than what you showed. My Widget does show my list of reminders but it does not allow me to tick the reminder away from the widget or add a New Reminder from the widget, the only option is by tapping in the widget and opening the reminder app...
Are you experiencing the same or am I doing something worng?
Thanks!
Hey! This isn't for IOS 14. Working on a new video for that soon!
Even i realised how useful is reminder in Apple. For my water reminder every hour, every thing is going good but how to schedule the reminders like specific time from morning to night.
Yeah I wanna know this exact thing!
Cuz I forget to drink water all the time!
And no I’m not a boy! I’m a human! 😅
This video probably has good content but you go thru it so fast it's impossible to follow...Not all of us watching this are 20 somethings!
Helen Mills sorry Helen! You could pause it or watch it in slower speed? I’ll remember that for next time!
Lmaooo you can change the video speed
don nobody care bruh just rewatch it😐 goofy
Dear Helen, with all due respect, you probably have the same issue listening to your or someone else’s grandkids. Luckily, unlike in real life, you can slow it down, pause, rewind or even just replay. I hope this finds you well and you are still trying to learn new things on UA-cam. There’s so much out there we don’t know and thankfully someone else has made the mistakes for us.
Im 40 something and you sound like your 70. Just slow the video down Karen sheesh. You Karen’s are so entitled.
"the more friction it takes to do something, the less likely we are to accomplish it"
Who quoted this? it's a very deep concept.
Not sure! I guess me 🤷🏼♂️
Kidding haha. It seems it’s a classic productivity mantra, not sure I could attribute it to a certain someone. James Clear writes about it Atomic Habits - he says to build better ones reduce friction; to break bad ones add friction.
This is so much better! I have been looking for apps to show reminders on my lock screen but I wanted to use something I already have in my phone! Thank you for this
Thank you, explained very well!
LOVED CONTENT. As you moved into the vid, your speech cadence got increasingly faster. Please try to keep your pace the same throughout the vid. I subscribed and I teach technology. You offer real value. Continued Success.
Love this! thanks so much for sharing!
Dude! This is great. Thank you.
You deserve more subscribers, great channel. I am following you.
Thank you!
This channel is so underrated
I’m sending u good vibes and good vibes only, keep it up bro ❤️
appreciate it ash!
Great Video Dalton!! This will help me so much with my daily life.
Good advise brother! Quality short video. Thanks man
Thank you , you are very clear and straight forward
How did you get all those options for your widgets. I don’t have reminders default widget on my iPhone😔
Great vid, but how do I mark a reminder as complete that has a repeat? They won't disappear and they come back even if i delete them.
Isn't the goal to have them repeat and not dissapear?
@@dltnio Perhaps I have been using them incorrectly. I get them to repeat because I need so much reminding to get a task done. I'll try using without the repeat function. Thanks
Thank you. This was so helpful.
Great video man. 4.27 k subscribers but I see you hitting 100k in the next two years. Keep at it!
Thank you 🤓
This was excellent‼️Thank you‼️
Glad it helped!
Dalton Mabery soooo much!! I’ve been using it all morning!!
How do I set up my reminder app to alarm in that I've got a plethora of To-Dos that require alert reminders?
hello Dalton! really appreciate your video. helped me a lot! =)
thanks Dalton!
Glad it helped!
I just want a simple to do list. Does Apple calendar allow you to add a list? I don't like that it only allows you to add events. Reminders is still too troublesome to use, so I deleted it.
This is super helpful! Thank you
Please help! I added the reminders widget to the widget section but it is not interactive the way it is in this video. I cannot check things off or add a new reminder directly from the widget. Any solutions?
I’m having the same issue, did you manage to fix it?
I'm gonna go step by step and try what you said. My problem is, when I set a reminder, unless i specifically set it for a certain day-it doesn't show up on my widget. Then if I set it for a certain day AND a time, it also doesn't show up in my widget. So I've got several things on my list but only the ones that I set for a specific day show up. So annoying.
Make sure you delete all other lists, and have the default list as the one you created!
Dalton Mabery I only have 1 list and it is the default. I know this app is meant to be very simple but like many things from apple, it seems to be so “easy” it’s missing simple key things that make it not work for some people.
@@diversedad7954 haha yeah, I feel like this is bt far Apple's worst app to use.
@@dltnio I was an iPhone user from the original to the 5. I jumped ship to Android for years and now coming back to an iPhone X I wanted to give it another try since so much has changed. It's a very frustrating jump. From not being able to put my apps or widgets where I want on screens, to for some reason they decided you can't see the battery percentage at the top of the screen at a glance, and now the reminders app sucking. I'm not giving up on iPhone yet but dang, it feels like I've stepped down to a kids phone that only allows me to do certain things!
Thanks man!
lately i have been overwhelmed with hw and kinda stressing out and forgetting stuff helps a lot thx
Great value young fella
Warner E Taylor Dot Com appreciate that!
@@dltnio You bet. Subscribe
I like your minimalist perspective. I think the same way. So keep it up.
Thanks so much Dalton. I am loving this. You are very clever 😊 x
When add something to iMac reminder, it doesn’t syncs with iPhone. But what ever I add to iPhone it syncs with iMac. Do you know how does work?
When I want to create a new list in reminder there's no any different colors, icons and stuff, it's so annoying what should I do??? :((
great video :) going to use it as you demonstrated
great great video. Extremely helpful
him: DELETE ALL YOUR REMINDERS. delete them all. DE LETE.
DO IT!!
How do I fix my notifications for reminders because I had a payment and it never alerted me need help please!
Been dying to find the answer to this question: is it possible to change the icon of the reminders as they appear on your notification center depending on the list they were in? At a glance, I want to be able to say “oh the icon is yellow so this reminder is for chores” or “oh the icon is blue so this reminder is for work”. I don’t want all the icons to be the generic one we’re seeing when we get the reminders. Any help would be greatly appreciated it.
I set mine up last night and it doesn't seem to notify me for some reason--does this method not work anymore? I have the Today Notification toggled ON and the Time as 7:00 PM. I have 3 items in my list that I added throughout the day and didn't seem to get a notification about it. I even put a test reminder on the list at the time of watching this video, that I did NOT clear and it has just been sitting there and wasn't notified about it.
probably something in your notification settings. Apple is the most consistent when it comes to actually delivering your notifications
Any advice on reminding me to set a reminder
What if the reninders app doesn’t show up in the widget edit list??! This was very helpful, just can’t add the app to the widget list.
This helped a bit thanks!🙏🏾
Very nice thank you bro it was helpfull 👍👍😍😍😍
Good Video. There is also a a problem with Email Management. Can you make a Vid how to have a simple Mail Management?
Already did!
this was great, thanks :)
Is it possible to get spoken “audible” reminders?
Great thanks for this video I was looking for how to create reminder
I can't choose "Reminders" in the Widgets list. Mine is not there. How do you get it to be a selectable option?
I have good question is how to pin on the Reminders I’m trying to learn to use pin on the reminders app on the iPhone
Is there a way to make it give you the notification at 2 different times
Thank you !
Is it possible to revive reminders if they disappeared
I moved from Evernote to Apple’s To Do List app with great results.
Awesome! Glad to hear that.
This was helpful though it went way too fast. It was very difficult to follow where you were swiping, when you were in settings, when you weren't, etc. I must have a different iOS version to what is in this video as my Reminders and Widgets don't look anything like this and it was hard to follow and know that I was in the right place. So I have a reminder set for 20 minutes from now. Let's see if I did it right and it works. Love the typewriter, BTW.
