The icons in iOS and macOS are *similar*, but they're not exactly the same; the macOS icon is tilted, for example. If it's not worth showing both, pick one, and have the caption refer only to that one.
top: Until everyone sees High Sierra and the fact the icons are now the same, I just restore the default size.

Template:Infobox OS component

Reminders is a component of iOS and macOS that allows users to set notifications for themselves and create lists.[1] It was a new feature in iOS 5 and OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion". It can sync data between iOS and macOS through iCloud.[2]

Features

The Reminders app can have multiple user-created lists of reminders. Reminders appear in the Notification Center 24 hours before the time a reminder is set for. Each reminder has a title and can be marked as completed (checked), and is automatically hidden.[3] Additionally, each reminder can optionally have the following:

  • A priority, from "Low" to "High"[4]
  • A note about the reminder[4]
  • An alarm at a certain date and time. If a time-based alert is set, it can repeat every day, week, two weeks, month, or year.
  • An alarm when a geofence around an area is crossed ("when I leave the conference" or "when I get home")
