Using any.do is even easier when you integrate with Siri and Apple Reminders! You can now add tasks just by telling Siri what you want to do. Once you activate this integration, Any.do will sync with your Apple Reminders both ways, allowing you to utilize Siri's voice commands as well.
Availability:
Personal users (free).
Premium users.
Family users (to personal lists only).
Teams users (to personal lists only).
Supported on iOS only.
🛠️ How does it work?
Easily add tasks through Siri, by simply saying 'Remind me to..' along with the task title and reminder date.
The task will sync to your Any.do account under the Apple Reminders list.
These tasks will sync their titles and reminder times back and forth from Any.do and to your Apple Reminders app.
The app also supports 5 Siri Shortcuts, as detailed below.
Note: Telling Siri to 'open'/ 'add' to Any.do won't work, as that command will not be recognized.
💡 Note: While Teams and Family users can utilize the integration for their personal lists, at this time there is no option to add items through Siri & Apple Reminders to the Space boards.
