1. In the Reminders app on your Mac, place the pointer over a reminder, then click the Info button , or double-click the blank area next to a reminder’s name.

   You can also force click the reminder; or select it, then use the Touch Bar.

2. Do any of the following.

   • Change the name: Enter a new name.

     You can also simply click the reminder’s name in the reminder list, then change the name.

   • Be reminded when you arrive at or leave a location: Select a day, specify a location or both. See Set notifications for reminders.

     You can also choose View > Show Calendar, then drag a reminder to a date on the calendar in the sidebar. To drag a reminder, click the blank area to the right of its name.

   • Add notes: Enter notes.

   • Change the priority: Click the priority pop-up menu, then choose an option.

     Exclamation marks appear in the reminder list to indicate priority: one for low, two for medium and three for high.

     You can also change the priority by selecting one or more reminders, then pressing Command-1 for low, Command-2 for medium, Command-3 for high, or Command-4 for none.

Remind yourself to get back to a web page, an email, a map location, or something else in another app while you’re using it — without switching to Reminders. For example, you can create a reminder for the web page you’re viewing in Safari, a selected note in Notes, a location or directions in Maps, or the card you’re viewing in Contacts.

1. While you’re using another app on your Mac, select something that can be shared, click the Share button , then choose Reminders.

   If the app doesn’t have a Share button, Control-click what you want to remember, then choose Share > Reminders. For example, you can Control-click the subject of a Mail message to create a reminder for the message, or the title of a Calendar event to create a reminder for the event.

   FaceTime lets you create a reminder when you decline a call. See Answer calls in FaceTime.

   In some apps, the Share menu doesn’t include Reminders, so you can’t use it to create a reminder for the selected item or location.

2. Add or change reminder details, then click Add.

   Here’s what you can add or change while adding a reminder from another app:

   • Reminder list: Click the pop-up menu in the lower-left corner of the dialogue, then choose a reminder list.

   • Name: Select the name next to the Info button , then enter a new one.

   • Notification or priority: Click the Info button , then specify when or where to be notified, or set the priority. To learn more about reminder notifications, see Set notifications for reminders. Exclamation marks appear in the reminder list to indicate priority: one for low, two for medium and three for high.

   • Notes: Enter notes below the name.

An app icon is added to your reminder so you can get back to the item you created the reminder from, such as a Safari webpage, Mail message or Maps location.

If you don’t need to keep a reminder, you can delete it. If you might want to view it again, mark the reminder as completed instead.

• In the Reminders app on your Mac, select the reminders you want to delete, then press Delete.
