Your to-dos belong beside your day.

Your lists, already there.

Dot uses Apple Reminders through macOS. Enable Reminders in Dot’s preferences, allow access when macOS asks, and choose which lists appear. Your calendar and Reminders permissions are separate.

You keep your existing lists. When those lists sync through iCloud, macOS handles that synchronization. Dot does not require another task account.

Add it in plain language.

Open quick entry and explicitly choose Reminder. Type a title and schedule, inspect the parsed details, and choose the destination list before saving. Use the editor to adjust dates, priority, recurrence or an alert.

An event reserves time in a calendar. A reminder is something you can complete. The mode control keeps that choice in your hands.

Complete it. Or give it more time.

Check off a reminder from the agenda. If it needs to wait, use the snooze controls to move its schedule. Changes apply to the Apple Reminders item, so check the date before moving a recurring task.

Dot also supports location-based reminder details. Location alerts depend on Apple Reminders, device permissions and the system’s location services; Dot is not a guarantee that an alert will fire on every device.

Tasks and meeting alerts are different.

Apple Reminders are items in your lists. Dot meeting alerts help you notice an approaching calendar meeting. Configure both if you need both; enabling one does not automatically set up the other.

Get started

1. Open Dot Preferences → Reminders and enable the feature.
2. Allow Reminders access in macOS, then choose your lists.
3. Open quick entry, choose Reminder, and review the title, date and list before saving.

If nothing appears, check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders and confirm the list exists in Apple Reminders.
