# Apple Reminders

> Sync TodoCity with Apple Reminders, both ways. It's how your tasks reach your iPhone, and how you tick them off there.

**Settings → Connectors → Apple Reminders** keeps your tasks and a Reminders list in sync, in both directions. TodoCity is a Mac app, so this is how your tasks get to your iPhone. Tick a task off in Reminders on your phone, and it's done in TodoCity too.

![The Apple Reminders card: Sync with Apple Reminders on, the TodoCity list, synced through iCloud, with Sync now](https://todocity.app/docs/img/reminders-sync.webp "Apple Reminders, syncing both ways.")

## Turn it on

1. **Open Settings → Connectors → Apple Reminders** and click **Connect**. When macOS asks, let TodoCity use Reminders.
2. **Pick a list** for your tasks. You can choose **New list “TodoCity”**, or a list you already have.
3. **Choose your options** from the ones below.
4. **Click Turn on sync.**

| Option | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Add my open tasks too** | Copies the tasks you already have in TodoCity into the list |
| **Include the original text** | Puts the text you captured into each reminder's notes |

## How it syncs

- **It works both ways.** Add, change or tick off a task in either app, and the other one catches up.
- **Deleting a task in TodoCity deletes its reminder too.** Deleting a reminder, though, leaves the task in TodoCity.
- **Sync now** on the card syncs straight away, and the card shows when it last synced.
- Tasks you've brought in from Todoist or Things 3 don't get sent to Reminders automatically.

## On your iPhone

If you pick a list in your iCloud account, your tasks show up in Reminders on your iPhone, iPad and other Macs. TodoCity asks you to confirm this first with **OK to copy tasks to iCloud**.

If you'd rather keep everything on this Mac, pick an **On My Mac** list instead.

> With an iCloud list, task titles and dates sync through iCloud, so they do leave this Mac. With an **On My Mac** list, they're only stored on this Mac. The card always tells you which one you're using.

## With two Macs

If you use [sync between your Macs](https://todocity.app/docs/sync-between-macs), each Mac keeps its own links to Reminders. When you delete a task on one Mac, its reminder is deleted too, so it stays gone everywhere.
