Set a reminder on your Mac with Siri

Quick answer

"Remind me to send the report at 4pm" and Siri adds it to Reminders on your Mac, alerting you at that time across your devices. Add a list — "add buy stamps to my errands list" — and Siri files it there. It syncs to your iPhone and iPad automatically.

Say this

“Remind me to send the report at 4pm”

How it works

01Wake Siri on your Mac (Siri key or "Hey Siri")
02Say "remind me to [task] at [time]"
03Check Reminders to confirm and edit if needed

If Siri doesn't get it

If the reminder doesn't sync, confirm Reminders is enabled for iCloud in System Settings > [your name] > iCloud on every device.
