Use Any.do hands-free with Siri & Apple Reminders, perfect for adding tasks, brainstorming ideas, or setting quick reminders on the go. This exclusive iOS feature syncs tasks directly to and from your Any.do account to your Apple Reminders app.
Just tell Siri "Remind me to..." with your task details, and the task will be added to your Any.do account automatically. You can then move tasks to other lists in Any.do as needed or keep them in the Apple Reminders list to maintain the sync with your Apple Reminders app.
π‘ Note: While Teams and Family users can use this integration for their personal lists, items canβt be added directly to boards via Siri & Apple Reminders at this time. You can opt to move these tasks to your boards after creation via the main app.
