Reminders in macOS Ventura: New features to help you be more productive
Reminders is a simple app, but if you use it right, it can do a great job of helping you get things done. In macOS Ventura, Apple has added several new features to make Reminders more helpful. Let’s take a look.
Organize by time and date
Your reminders list is now sectioned into time- and date-based groups to make it easier to see your lists. If you assigned a time an date to a reminder it will appear in the appropriate section. For example, a reminder set for 3 p.m. today will appear in an Afternoon section. When you look at the Scheduled reminders, you’ll see sections for the upcoming days.
In macOS Ventura, Reminders are now grouped by time and date.
