Apple Reminders是预装在 iOS 和 Mac 设备上的真正有用的应用程序之一。顾名思义，正如您可能已经知道的那样，它可以让您创建要在设备上得到提醒的提醒。您可以使用它来提醒您认为如果不将它们放在列表中就会忘记的任务。
大多数使用Apple 提醒(Apple Reminders)应用程序的人只使用它的基本功能。它提供了更多功能，可用于在设备上创建高级提醒。其中一些功能包括使用Siri添加提醒、在您位于特定位置时获取提醒等功能。
使用列表对类似任务进行分组(Use Lists To Group Similar Tasks)
Apple Reminders未充分利用的功能之一是任务列表。默认情况下，大多数人所做的是将所有提醒添加到一个列表中。如果您仅将应用程序用于特定提醒，这可能会起作用，但您可以为每种类型的提醒创建一个列表，以便让事情更有条理。
您可以创建各种列表，然后在其中记下您的提醒(jot down your reminders)。例如，您可以为个人提醒创建个人列表，为与办公室相关的提醒创建办公室列表。
这样，您可以快速跳转到特定的提醒类型并查看那里列出的所有任务。
- 在您的设备上启动提醒(Reminders)应用程序。
- 点击屏幕底部的 ，您将看到可用列表。
- 点击右上角的+（加号）图标以添加新列表。
- 它会询问您要创建什么新项目。点击列表(List)以创建一个新列表。
- 输入列表的名称，为其选择颜色，然后点击完成(Done)以保存列表。
更改列表的颜色(Change The Color Of Your List)
提醒应用程序允许您自定义列表的颜色(customize the color)，以便您更轻松地找到您的列表。您可以从应用程序中可用的各种颜色中进行分配，您的列表将以您选择的颜色突出显示。
列表颜色可以分配给新列表和现有列表。
为新列表分配颜色(Assign a Color To a New List)
- 为新列表选择特定颜色非常容易。当您在新的列表创建屏幕上时，只需点击您想要的列表颜色即可。
更改现有列表的颜色(Change The Color Of An Existing List)
- 打开要更改颜色的列表。
- 点击右上角的编辑(Edit)链接。
与其他人分享您的列表(Share Your List With Other People)
有时，您可能想与其他人共享某些提醒列表。您将特别希望在多人同时处理给定任务的业务环境中执行此操作。
Apple Reminders应用程序允许您将人员添加到您的列表中，然后他们可以为其做出贡献(contribute to it)。他们需要做的就是在他们的设备上启用 iCloud，他们应该能够访问并添加到您的列表中。
- 在您的设备上打开提醒(Reminders)应用程序。
- 选择您要与其他人共享的列表。
- 点击右上角的编辑(Edit)选项。
- 在以下屏幕上，点击添加人员(Add person)以将人员添加到您的列表中。
- 从您的列表中选择一个人，然后点击右上角的添加(Add)。
- 此人将被添加到您的列表中，他们将能够与您一起管理您的列表。
在提醒中隐藏和取消隐藏已完成的任务(Hide & Unhide Completed Tasks In Reminders)
为了让您的用户界面保持整洁，提醒(Reminders)应用程序会隐藏您标记为已完成的所有任务。一旦您刷掉一项任务，它就会从主列表中删除并移至隐藏的已完成任务列表。
许多用户可能会认为他们已完成的任务已被删除，因为该应用并未突出显示如何查看已完成的任务。但是，情况并非如此，您可以使用应用程序中的选项查看已完成的任务。
- 打开提醒(Reminders)应用程序。
- 选择已完成任务所在的列表。
- 您会在屏幕底部看到一个显示已完成(Show Completed)的选项。点击它，它会打开。
创建基于位置的提醒(Create Location-Based Reminders)
基于时间的提醒很常见，它们可以在大多数提醒应用程序中创建。但是，基于位置的提醒很少见，但可以在iOS 和Mac设备上的Apple Reminders应用程序中创建。
当您处于分配给您的提醒的特定位置时，基于位置的提醒会向您发送通知。(sends you a notification)例如，您可以设置在沃尔玛(Walmart)附近购买牛奶的提醒。当您实际上在那个地方附近时，该应用程序会通知您并显示您的提醒。
- 启动提醒(Reminders)应用程序。
- 打开要在其中创建基于位置的提醒的列表。
- 开始(Start)输入您的提醒，然后点击它旁边的i图标。(i)
- 将在某个位置提醒我(Remind me at a location)的切换开关转到ON位置(ON)。
- 点击位置(Location)，它会让您指定提醒的位置。
- 点击右上角的完成(Done)以保存基于位置的提醒。
使用 Siri 添加新提醒(Add New Reminders Using Siri)
如果您赶时间或无法键入提醒事项，您可以使用 Siri在(you can use Siri)Apple 提醒事项(Apple Reminders)应用程序中创建新提醒事项。由于Siri和提醒事项(Reminders)均由Apple开发，因此它们紧密集成，您可以使用其中一个在另一个中创建项目。
- 像往常一样启动Siri 。
- 让她提醒我(Remind me to)，然后添加您想要提醒的任何内容。例如，您可以让她提醒我明天早上 8 点买牛奶，(Remind me to buy milk at 8 AM tomorrow)它会在应用程序中创建明天早上 8 点的提醒。
更改默认提醒列表(Change The Default Reminders List)
如果您没有指定要添加新提醒的特定列表，它们将被应用添加到默认列表中。如果需要，您可以更改默认列表，所有未分配的未来任务都将添加到该列表中。
- 在您的设备上启动设置(Settings)应用程序。
- 查找并点击“提醒(Reminders)”选项。

Tips, Tricks, & Hacks To Use Apple Reminders Effectively
Apple Reminders is one of the really useful apps that come preloaded on your iOS and Mac-based devices. As the name suggests and as you mаy already know, it lets you create reminders that you wаnt to be rеminded abоut on your devices. You can use it to get reminders about the tasks that you think you’ll forget if you don’t put them on a list.
Most people who use the Apple Reminders app only use its basic features of it. It has a lot more to offer that you can use to create advanced reminders on your devices. Some of these features include the ability to add reminders using Siri, getting reminders when you’re at a specific location, and so on.
Use Lists To Group Similar Tasks
One of the underutilized features of the Apple Reminders is the tasks list. By default, what most people do is add all of their reminders in a single list. While this may work if you only use the app for specific reminders, you can create a list for each type of reminder so that things are a bit more organized.
You can create various lists and then jot down your reminders in them. For example, you can create a personal list for your personal reminders and an office list for your office-related reminders.
That way, you can quickly jump onto a specific reminder type and view all the tasks listed there.
- Launch the Reminders app on your device.
- Tap at the bottom of your screen and you’ll see the available lists.
- Tap on the + (plus) icon at the top-right corner to add a new list.
- It’ll ask what new item you want to create. Tap on List to create a new list.
- Enter a name for your list, choose a color for it, and tap on Done to save the list.
- You can now start adding reminders to your newly created list.
Change The Color Of Your List
The Reminders app allows you to customize the color for your lists to make it easier for you to find your lists. You can assign from various colors available in the app and your list will be highlighted in your chosen color.
The list color can be assigned to both new lists as well as the existing ones.
Assign a Color To a New List
- Choosing a specific color for your new list is pretty easy. While you’re on the new list creation screen, simply tap on the color you want for your list and that’s all.
Change The Color Of An Existing List
- Open the list that you want to change the color for.
- Tap on the Edit link at the top-right corner.
- Select the option that says Color.
- Choose a new color from the list of available colors.
Share Your List With Other People
Sometimes, you may want to share certain reminder lists with other people. You’ll especially want to do it in business environments where multiple people are working on a given assignment.
The Apple Reminders app allows you to add people to your lists and they can then contribute to it. All they need to do is enable iCloud on their devices and they should be able to access and add to your lists.
- Open the Reminders app on your device.
- Select the list that you’d like to share with other people.
- Tap on the Edit option in the upper-right corner.
- Tap on the option that says Sharing.
- On the following screen, tap on Add person to add people to your list.
- Choose a person from your list and tap on Add in the top-right corner.
- The person will be added to your list and they’ll be able to manage your list along with you.
Hide & Unhide Completed Tasks In Reminders
To keep your user interface decluttered, the Reminders app hides all the tasks that you’ve marked as completed. Soon as you swipe off a task, it gets removed from the main list and moved over to a hidden completed tasks list.
Many users might think that their completed tasks are deleted as the app doesn’t prominently show how to view completed tasks. However, that is not the case and you can view your finished tasks using an option in the app.
- Open the Reminders app.
- Select the list where your completed task was located.
- You’ll see an option saying Show Completed at the bottom of your screen. Tap on it and it’ll open.
- You’ll now see a list of all of your completed tasks.
Create Location-Based Reminders
Time-based reminders are common and they can be created in most reminder apps out there. However, location-based reminders are rare but these can be created in the Apple Reminders app on your iOS and Mac devices.
A location-based reminder sends you a notification when you’re in a particular location that is assigned to your reminder. For example, you can set a reminder to buy milk when you’re around Walmart. When you’re actually around that place, the app will notify you and display your reminder.
- Launch the Reminders app.
- Open the list where you want to create a location-based reminder.
- Start typing your reminder and then tap on the i icon next to it.
- Turn the toggle for Remind me at a location to the ON position.
- Tap on Location and it’ll let you specify a location for your reminder.
- Type in the name of the place and select it when it appears.
- Tap on Done at the top-right corner to save your location-based reminder.
Add New Reminders Using Siri
If you’re in a hurry or in a situation where you can’t type a reminder, you can use Siri to create a new reminder in the Apple Reminders app. Since both Siri and Reminders are developed by Apple, they’re tightly integrated and you can use one to create items in another.
- Fire up Siri as you normally would.
- Ask her Remind me to and then add whatever you want to be reminded about. For example, you can ask her Remind me to buy milk at 8 AM tomorrow and it’ll create a reminder for 8 AM tomorrow in the app.
- You can use variations of the natural language to create specific reminders.
Change The Default Reminders List
If you don’t specify a specific list to add your new reminders to, they’ll be added to a default list by the app. You can change the default list if you want and all your unassigned future tasks will be added to that list.
- Launch the Settings app on your device.
- Find and tap on the Reminders option.
- Tap on the Default List option.
- Select a list to be your new default list.
