In the meantime, if you’re looking for a great alternative to the Reminders app on iOS, you should take GoodTask for a spin. I’ll have more to share about GoodTask over the summer as I continue to experiment with Reminders and Shortcuts in iOS 12. It’s not quite as elegant as Things’ native feature, but it lets me have a similar scheduling setup in GoodTask as well. With smart lists in version 3.9.1 of the app, I can now use the ‘Scheduled’ filter to show me reminders due today (between 6 AM and 7 PM) and in the evening (between 7 PM and 11:59 PM). Essentially, I wanted to replicate Things’ fantastic Today/This Evening feature in GoodTask. In the latest version of the app, you can create smart lists for reminders that are due between specific start and end times of the day. For example, you can create smart lists for reminders with a specific tag (another GoodTask-only option), items that are overdue, or reminders that are due within 3 days and have a high priority. Smart Lists are liked saved searches for reminders: they let you create custom lists (which you can only view in GoodTask) to manage a subset of reminders based on specific filtering criteria. The second feature is a change to the ‘Scheduled’ filter for smart lists, one of the best ideas in GoodTask. I like the way GoodTask automatically extracts URLs from the Notes field of a reminder, and this quick action speeds up the process of reopening links a lot. This makes it easier to use GoodTask as a repository for links saved from Safari (perhaps through the Shortcuts extension). The first one is a quick action to reopen a web link (or URL scheme) contained in a reminder, if any.
#GOODTASK MANUAL UPDATE#
Today’s update to GoodTask brings a couple of features that I suggested to its developer a while back. The app has got a bit of a learning curve, but it’s much more powerful than Reminders while retaining its key advantages (such as Siri integration and immediate background sync between every Apple device). GoodTask has grown a lot since its debut four years ago I recommend reading Tim’s review of version 3.0 to get an idea of its capabilities. GoodTask is a powerful utility that extends Reminders in ways that I’d love for Apple to consider whenever they decide to update their own Reminders app. I’ve been playing around with GoodTask, a Reminders client for iOS, as part of my experiments with Shortcuts and Reminders for this year’s iOS review. With version 1.3 out today, Hannah takes the app a step further by adding Siri Shortcut support too. With Text Case’s extension, I can run a headline conversion right inside my text editor from the share sheet that’s accessible from the contextual popup menu that appears when you select text.
When I’m writing, I’d rather stay immersed in my text editor.
It’s a small interruption, but it’s one that may lead me to check another open tab or do something else that distracts me from completing an article. In the past, I used an online service, which works well, but switching to a browser is an interruption. I have the title casing rules of the style guide internalized for the most part, but every now and I want to check on a headline to be sure. The app can do 13 other text transformations too like URL encoding and decoding, all caps, sentence capitalization, and many more.

That update added support for title casing text according to popular style guides including the Chicago Manual of Style that we use here at MacStories. Not long ago, I reviewed an update to a new text transformation utility for iOS by Chris Hannah called Text Case.
