Anatodo
Use Anatodo alongside Reminders.
Reminders stays as it is. Bring over the work you want to time, and Anatodo keeps how long each task took.
Good to keep in Reminders
- Lists you share with someone
- Alerts for when you arrive somewhere
- Things you only need to remember
Good to bring to Anatodo
- Work you want to know the length of
- Days where you want to see the plan beside what happened
Bringing a list in
- In Anatodo, open Settings → more → export → from Reminders.
- Allow access to Reminders the first time it asks.
- Every list with open reminders starts out included. Press a list to leave it out.
- Choose whether each list's name becomes a category. Your default list goes under no category either way.
- Tick to add them. Undo is on the same page if you change your mind.
What comes across
- Titles and notes
- Due dates and times
- Repeats, including the second Tuesday or the last Friday of a month, and where a repeat ends
- Alerts set before a due time
- High priority, as a highlighted task
What doesn't
- Completed reminders
- Anything already open in Anatodo with the same title and due date
- Alarms set for a moment of their own
- Images, links and tags
- Alerts for arriving somewhere
- Repeats Anatodo can't say, like the 1st and 15th of a month: those come in once, without the repeat, and the sheet tells you how many
It's a one-way copy
Nothing in Reminders is ticked, moved or deleted. After the copy the two don't know about each other, so finishing a task in Anatodo leaves its reminder open. Bring a list in again later and anything still open here with the same title and due date is skipped. What you finished or renamed in Anatodo comes in again.
