![]() ![]() A trip to the application’s Settings reveals a new Reminders tab that contains an option to receive, besides notifications, email summaries for reminders. In the beta version I tried, the default date setting for new reminders was “8 AM”, with no possibility to tweak it. Reminders can be marked as “done”, or they can be “cleared” away from the Reminders list, becoming “normal” notes again.Ĭhoosing to add a date will bring up a taller popover that embeds a calendar, a custom date field, and buttons for “tomorrow” and “in a week”. If you don’t add a date/time, the note will simply stay as a generic reminder that is pinned in the Reminders list if you add a date, you’ll receive a notification (on the Mac, through Notification Center) when a reminder is due. Upon clicking the clock icon, a Reminders section will appear above the note list, showing a summary of the reminders you’ve added and, the clock icon will show a mini popover that allows you to add a date. Currently, there are no contextual menus and no keyboard shortcuts – the clock icon is the only UI element to assign a reminder to a note. ![]() On the Mac, a new reminder icon (a clock) has been to the top toolbar of the note editor: by default, the clock icon is grayed out, and you can click it to add a reminder to a note. Rather than shipping a standalone todo app – something you’d expect from the company that acquired Evernote-based todo manager Egretlist – Evernote built a reminder layer on top of its existing note architecture, which, for the most part, remains unchanged in spite of reminders. You’re not looking at a GTD app inside Evernote reminders are simply a way to associate a reminder with a note. While aimed at solving a common problem – reminding you to do something – Evernote reminders are decidedly simple and devoid of settings. I have been testing the new versions of the app, and I believe reminders are a good addition that fit well with Evernote’s focus on remembering everything through a unified, polished interface.įirst and foremost, you won’t find the complexity of OmniFocus or the feature set of Due in Evernote’s reminders. Today, Evernote is releasing updates to its Mac and iOS clients to introduce a major new feature: native reminders. Clearly, there was a demand for a task management feature built right into Evernote. Tutorials and eBooks have been published with tips on how to use tags and saved searches to turn Evernote into an app capable of equally handling documents, notes, and todos under a single, searchable archive. The topic has been widely discussed on the Internet, with smart folks such as Sven Fechner and Fraser Speirs delving deeper into the subject of Evernote as a GTD system. In the years I’ve spent using and recommending Evernote, I’ve always noticed a chasm between people who rely on the service to store reference material and notes, and those who want to also use Evernote as a “getting things done” system to keep track of their todos. ![]()
