How to use the redesigned Reminders app on Mac

Reminders Redesigned Mac Catalina

With the macOS Catalina update, users received new apps like Music, TV, and Podcasts along with updates to others like Notes and Mail. The Reminders app also got an update to its appearance and functionality that many have been waiting for.

Enhancements like subtasks and Messages integration, that can increase your productivity both at work and at home, are now part of the package.

Let’s take a look at all of the new features and how to use them in the redesigned Reminders app on Mac.

Shortcuts Focus: how to delete all your completed reminders in one fell swoop

Inexplicably, Apple's Reminders app to this date has not bothered to offer us an option to delete all of the completed reminders at once. It should, at the very least, be able to remove completed items after a set number of days, but even that isn't allowed. Basically, you're left with two choices—either, joy, delete completed reminders manually, one by one, like an animal; or, leverage the power of scripting and iOS automation to your advantage like a boss.
