Reminders in iOS 18: All the new features coming this fall

I’m glad to see these changes. These will make Reminders a better application. I hope that the AI works as well as advertised.:crossed_fingers:t2:

Looking forward to this. Still on the fence about reminders in my calendar, but I could see it growing on me.

Can you be selective on which reminder categories go on the calendar?

Not as far as I can see, unfortunately

If you’re on the beta, perhaps you could give feedback requesting this feature. I think it would be very helpful. I’d give the feedback but I don’t run betas.

Yes, will do happily

That one aspect would keep me on Fantastical (among other things). 10 reminders on a day would make my calendar useable.

As someone who moved to Reminders from being a long time Omnifocus user, the thing I miss the most is a “Repeat every (blank) after completion” setting. That would be a big value add for me.

Done - and I’ve also suggested the ability to link specific Lists with specific Calendars

Thanks. If it happens, we know who gets the credit! :+1:t2:

I think you could „hack“ something together via Shortcuts and Automation.

I just tested it and searched for all the items that were ended today (in German it says Beendigungsdatum) and had certain tags and were in list XY, which resulted in a list of 4 tasks out of the 20 I finished today. As you receive a list you could then change them to unchecked with a custom repeat date in X days eg.

I do something similar with my routine tasks and works flawlessly - have the automation run every day at 6:00 for my morning routine tasks and at 21:00 for my evening routine tasks, which has the benefit that those tasks do not clutter my Reminders until they are needed. Yeah I miss defer dates from OF :upside_down_face:.

Granted it’s not ideal but maybe helps to scratch an itch (is that a phrase in English?) :man_shrugging:
