5 tips and tricks for Reminders on Mac that you might find useful

Native Reminders is a very useful application with many options that you can use on practically all of your Apple devices. Today, we're focusing on Reminders for Mac, and we're going to show you five tips and tricks that will make using the app even better for you.

Voice input

Voice input works great in a huge number of apps on your Mac, and Reminders is no exception. With this feature, you can dictate your comments without having to use the keyboard. To enable voice input, click the  menu in the upper-left corner of your Mac screen, choose System Preferences and click on Keyboard. In the keyboard preferences window, click the tab Dictation a activate voice input.

Location-based reminders

On a Mac, just like on an iPhone, you can assign a specific location to reminders, so that the relevant notification will appear on your iPhone or Apple Watch when you arrive at that location. But all your devices need to be signed in to the same Apple ID. To add a location to a reminder on a Mac, click below the reminder add location, and enter the necessary details.

Siri will help you

You can also create reminders with the help of the virtual voice assistant Siri. Due to the absence of Czech in Siri, your options are somewhat limited (especially if you name your reminder lists in Czech), but even so, Siri can handle a lot. Handles type commands "Hey Siri, remind me about [task]", "Remind me to send an email to [person] at [time]", and many others.
