Add a reminder from another app on Mac
While you’re using an app, you can add a reminder for an item in the app — without switching to Reminders. For example, you can create a reminder for the web page you’re viewing in Safari, a selected note in Notes, a location or directions in Maps, or the card you’re viewing in Contacts.
Siri: Say something like: “Remind me about this tomorrow”. Learn how to use Siri.
Note: All Reminders features described in this guide are available when using updated iCloud reminders. Some features aren’t available when using accounts from other providers.
Add a reminder from another app
When you add a reminder from another app, an app icon or link is added to the reminder. You can use that icon or link to get back to the item in the app where you created the reminder, such as a Safari web page, Mail message or Maps location.
While using an app on your Mac, select the item you want to remember, click
, then choose Reminders. If the app doesn’t have a Share button, Control-click the item you want to remember, choose Share, then click Reminders.
Note: In some apps, the Share menu doesn’t include Reminders, so you can’t use it to create a reminder for the selected item or location.
Click Add.
