In today's installment of our regular series on native Apple apps, we'll take a final look at Reminders on the Mac. Today we'll cover adding details to single reminders, assigning reminders to a date and time, and sharing reminder lists.

In previous parts of the series, we mentioned the possibility of adding dates and places to reminders on Mac. Thanks to this, the notification for the given reminder will appear at the time you set, or at the place you set. If you want to add a time, date, or location to a reminder on your Mac, move your mouse cursor over its name and click the small “i” in the circle. In the menu that appears, check the desired option and enter all the necessary data. Here you can also set whether the reminder will repeat regularly. To set repeated reminders, first check the On time item in the menu - you will see the Repetition section, after clicking on which you can set the details. If you want to attach a location to the given reminder, check the On location option and then enter the address, or choose Home, Work, or perhaps When getting into the car. For this type of reminder to work, you need to have location services activated and allow the Reminders app to access your location. If you do not mark the reminder as resolved, you will be shown the corresponding notification every time you are in the given place.

If you want to move any of the reminders on your Mac to a different location or place them in a different list, you can drag and drop them. The exception is comments in the Today and Marked lists, which cannot be moved. You can also change the order of the reminder lists by dragging on the sidebar. If you want to move one of the reminders to another list, select it and drag it to the desired list name in the sidebar. Hold the Cmd key to select and move multiple notes at once. You can also move copies of reminders - select one or more reminders, click Edit -> Copy on the toolbar at the top of the screen, then select the desired list in the sidebar and click Edit -> Paste on the toolbar at the top of the screen. If you want to share one of your reminder lists, hover over it and click the portrait icon. After that, all you have to do is choose the sharing method.
