One window.

NewTurn Reminders into project tasks

Free · macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon and Intel · No account

The 40-second tour. No sound, and every client in it is made up.

Import from Reminders New

Jot it anywhere.
File it once.

Keep adding work to Reminders from your iPhone, your Watch, or Siri. Clientry reads the lists you choose, and the AI you point it at works out which client and project each item belongs to. Errands and vague notes stay in Reminders.

30 seconds, no sound. Every client, project and reminder in it is made up.
The Import from Reminders sheet. Five reminders are ticked, each matched to a client and project with a confidence score and a cleaned-up task title, for example “Northwind charts as SVG for the printer” becomes “Export report charts as SVG for print” under Northwind Co, Annual report. Below them, “Book dentist appointment” is marked Skipped earlier and “Call Mom back” is marked Not a project item.
You review every suggestion. Change the project, fix the title, or untick it.
Settings, Reminders tab: Inbox and Work are selected, import runs automatically every hour, and imported reminders are marked complete. The Activity section shows the last run 17 minutes ago, checked 4 new reminders and imported 3, and says 9 reviewed reminders won’t be sent to the AI again unless edited, with a Re-check Skipped button.
On a schedule, from every 15 minutes to once a day. Only confident matches are filed on their own; the rest wait for you.
All Tasks list with the imported tasks in place: “Send both homepage directions to Rivera” under Rivera Design, Website redesign, and “Export report charts as SVG for print” under Northwind Co, Annual report, both tagged from-reminders and keeping the reminders’ due dates.
Filed as ordinary tasks, with the reminder’s due date and a from-reminders tag. The reminder can be ticked off for you.
  • Remembers what it skipped. A reminder it passed over isn’t sent to the AI again unless you edit it.
  • No duplicates. Each reminder is filed once, and never as a copy of a task that’s already open.
  • Never deletes a reminder. It only reads the lists you pick.
