Share a reminder list on Mac
You can share reminder lists in your upgraded iCloud reminders account with other iCloud users who’ve also upgraded their reminders. Everyone who shares the list can create and edit reminders from any computer or device set up with iCloud. Notifications aren’t shared; you can set a reminder to remind you at a time or place, but it won’t remind anyone else.
After you start sharing a reminder list, you can add or remove people, or stop sharing the list with anyone.
You can also assign reminders to people who share the list. See Assign shared reminders in Reminders on Mac.
Note: All Reminders features described in this guide are available when using upgraded iCloud reminders. Some features aren’t available when using accounts from other providers.
