Each week, the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/?s=Friday+Five+quick+look+iOS+mac+apple\">Friday Five<\/a> takes a quick look at a Mac OS X or iOS\u00a0app to point out five things you may have overlooked before.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>This week:\u00a0<\/strong>the Reminders app.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Of all of the apps that come pre-installed in Mac OS X and iOS, Reminders seems to be the app that people forget about. If they\u2019re writing a list of some sort, they\u2019ll write it in Notes or Pages. If they need to be reminded about something, an appointment is put into Calendar. Reminders is actually a very powerful tool that is unfairly ignored, so here are five ways you can put it to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Set location-based reminders<\/strong><br \/>\nHave you ever gone to a store, knowing full well that there\u2019s something you\u2019re forgetting to buy? Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to get a reminder when you get to that store? Location-based reminders do exactly that, pinging you when you arrive or leave at a preset location. The process below shows how to set a location-based reminder for the iOS version of Reminders, but it\u2019s almost the same for OS X.<\/p>\n<p>Adding location to a reminder is simple \u2014 once you\u2019ve created an item in a specific list, tap on it so that the information button appears:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9123.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32404\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9123.jpg\" alt=\"The Reminders Information Button\" width=\"350\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9123.jpg 350w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9123-199x120.jpg 199w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9123-284x171.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9123-190x115.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tap on that button to view the Reminders Details sheet. Tap the button on the right side of \u201cRemind me at a location\u201d to turn that feature on, then tap the Location button that appears:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32405\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125.jpg\" alt=\"Locations for the Reminders app\" width=\"300\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125-68x120.jpg 68w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125-182x323.jpg 182w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125-107x190.jpg 107w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125-68x120@2x.jpg 136w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9125-107x190@2x.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A list of locations appears, including your home location, current location, and pins that you\u2019ve set on maps in the past. Tap one of the pins to make it the location where you\u2019ll be reminded, search for a business, or enter an address.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve selected the location, you\u2019ll be given a choice to be reminded when you arrive or leave that location &#8211; tap one of the buttons to make your selection. You\u2019ll also see a small map of the location and can increase or decrease the size of the zone where notification will take place by simply dragging the black dot in or out.<\/p>\n<p>Close the Location\u00a0sheet to return to Details, tap Done, and a notification appears when you get to that location. Note that this works for Reminders created on iOS devices, on Macs, and even on the Apple Watch for reminders created with Siri (see tip #3 below!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Create shopping lists<\/strong><br \/>\nSure, there are a lot of shopping list apps in the App Store, but you can use Reminders to do the same thing and even share the list with other people (see tip #5 later on in this post).<\/p>\n<p>To add a list to Reminders, either tap on \u201cNew List\u201d at the top of the iOS app (see image below) or click \u201cAdd List\u201d at the bottom of the OS X Reminders sidebar. On an iOS device you\u2019ll be asked whether you wish to create the list on your iPhone\/iPad or store it on iCloud \u2014 I generally choose iCloud.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9131.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32406\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9131.jpg\" alt=\"Adding a new list to Reminders\" width=\"350\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9131.jpg 350w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9131-271x120.jpg 271w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9131-284x126.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9131-190x84.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, give the list a name and select a color for the title of the list by tapping one of the color dots. To select color in OS X, right-click on the list name in the sidebar, and then click the color you desire.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can start adding items to the list. Simply type a new item on each line, and you\u2019ll have a handy circle to tap when you\u2019ve picked up that item at the store (see below).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9132-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32407\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9132-1.jpg\" alt=\"Checking off items on a list\" width=\"350\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9132-1.jpg 350w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9132-1-235x120.jpg 235w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9132-1-284x145.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9132-1-190x97.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Set a reminder with Siri on the Apple Watch<\/strong><br \/>\nWith no keyboard, Siri is the only way to set reminders on the Apple Watch. In fact, there isn\u2019t an actual Reminders app in watchOS 1.0, so there\u2019s no way \u2014 sadly \u2014 that you can pull up a shopping list on your Watch. However,\u00a0you can still add Reminders with Siri. Here are some of the commands you can try:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey Siri, remind me to send the bill tomorrow at 8 AM\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey Siri, add Spam to my Groceries list\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey Siri, remind me to turn off the lights\u00a0when I leave the house\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32408\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe.jpeg\" alt=\"Siri Reminders\" width=\"450\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe-199x120.jpeg 199w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe-284x172.jpeg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe-190x115.jpeg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe-199x120@2x.jpeg 398w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/RemindMe-190x115@2x.jpeg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Hand off an iOS Reminder list to OS X \u2014 and vice versa!<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ll sometimes start working on a Reminder list on my iPhone, but want to finish it when I sit down at my Mac. The Handoff feature built into OS X 10.10 Yosemite and iOS 8 works great for this.<\/p>\n<p>With Reminders open on your iOS device, get near your Mac and you\u2019ll see a Handoff icon on the left end of the Dock. In this case, it\u2019s going to hand off Reminders to the Mac. Click on the Handoff icon and the list you were updating on the iOS device opens on the Mac.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Reminders.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32412\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Reminders.jpg\" alt=\"Reminders handoff on OS X\" width=\"403\" height=\"111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Reminders.jpg 403w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Reminders-284x78.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Reminders-190x52.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Reminders-190x52@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s go the other way \u2014 you\u2019re editing a shopping list on your Mac and realize that you need to leave immediately for a meeting. Just grab your iPhone or iPad and you\u2019ll see the Handoff icon on the lower left of your iOS lock screen. Slide that icon up, unlock your iPhone or iPad with your passcode or Touch ID, and the Reminders list appears on your screen right where you left it on the Mac.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32410\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9130.jpg\" alt=\"The Handoff Icon on iOS\" width=\"350\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9130.jpg 350w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9130-239x120.jpg 239w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9130-284x143.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9130-190x96.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Share lists with others<\/strong><br \/>\nEach list can be shared so that other people can add or delete items to it. In iOS, this is done by tapping the Edit button near the name of the list, tapping on the Sharing button, and then adding people\u00a0from your Contact list (see image below). In OS X, hover your pointer over the name of the list in the Reminders sidebar and you\u2019ll see a symbol that looks something like the Wi-Fi signal strength icon. Just click on it and select a name or names for sharing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9133.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32415\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9133.jpg\" alt=\"Sharing a list with others\" width=\"400\" height=\"121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9133.jpg 400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9133-284x86.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9133-190x57.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_9133-190x57@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a handy way to have a spouse or team member add items to your shopping list\u2026 while you\u2019re shopping!
