To get to your Apple Reminders on a Windows PC, open a web browser, go to icloud.com/reminders, and sign in with your Apple Account. You can create, complete, and delete reminders and manage your lists there. Apple doesn’t make a Reminders app for Windows, and your iPhone must have Reminders turned on in iCloud for your lists to show up.
These steps come from Apple’s iCloud User Guide pages Set up iCloud for Reminders on all your devices and Use Reminders on iCloud.com. The note about Outlook comes from Apple Support’s Update the Reminders app in iOS 13 or later article.
How to See Apple Reminders on a PC
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, tap See All, and turn on Reminders.
- On your PC, open a web browser.
- Go to icloud.com/reminders.
- Sign in with the same Apple Account you use on your iPhone.
Result: your iCloud reminder lists open in the browser. You may need to approve the sign-in on an Apple device, and you can choose Trust so you don’t have to every time.
What You Can Do on iCloud.com
Apple says Reminders on iCloud.com lets you:
- Create and delete reminders.
- Add and delete reminder lists.
- Mark reminders as completed.
- Search for reminders.
- Share a reminder list.
Some guides say the web version can’t add or delete lists, but Apple’s current guide lists both. Apple adds that certain features need the updated version of Reminders from iOS 13 or later.
Make Reminders Open Like an App
You can install the Reminders page as a web app so it opens in its own window and shows up in the Start menu.
- Microsoft Edge: with Reminders open, go to the Edge menu > Apps > Install this site as an app, then select Install.
- Google Chrome: open the Chrome menu > Save and share > Create shortcut, check Open as window, and select Create.
Result: Reminders opens in its own window. It’s still the iCloud.com page, so Done Bear points out it needs an internet connection.
Can You See Reminders in Outlook?
No. Older guides suggest turning on Tasks in iCloud for Windows, but Apple now says you can’t see iCloud reminders in Outlook when using iCloud for Windows on your PC. Apple’s current iCloud for Windows guide covers syncing calendars and contacts with Outlook instead.
Use a Microsoft Account for Some Lists
If you need certain to-dos on Microsoft’s apps, Apple’s Add or remove accounts in Reminders page explains that the iPhone Reminders app can use other accounts, such as Microsoft Exchange. Go to Settings > Apps > Reminders > Reminders Accounts > Add Account. Only reminders saved to that Microsoft account, not your iCloud lists, appear on the Windows side.
Troubleshooting
Your reminders don’t show up
Apple says you must be signed in to the same Apple Account on each device, and Reminders must be turned on in iCloud. Check both on your iPhone.
A deleted reminder is gone
Apple warns that after you update to the newer Reminders, you can’t recover a deleted reminder at iCloud.com, so double-check before deleting.
