Apple Reminders, Siri, Share menu and widget

In the iPhone app, a Reminders list called “Sayweek” works as an idea inbox: whatever you add to it – by hand or with Siri – lands in the ideas box and gets ticked off in Reminders. The same place also turns on the Share menu and the home screen widget.

Before you start

You need the Sayweek iPhone app (iPhone app); this isn't available in the browser. The Android app supports the Share menu and fingerprint sign-in, but not Reminders.

Connect Reminders

1. 1In the iPhone app, open Ideas → Ideas box.
2. 2Tap ☑ Connect Reminders and allow access in the iOS dialog – the “Sayweek” list is created automatically.
3. 3Add an idea to the “Sayweek” list, or say: “Hey Siri, add … to my Sayweek list”.
4. 4Open the ideas box again: the app pulls in new items by itself, or tap ☑ From Reminders.

The app only reads open items on the “Sayweek” list (up to 20 at a time) and leaves your other lists alone. Items shorter than 10 characters stay on the list.

Share menu and widget

1. 1In the iPhone app, open Settings → Apple: iCloud and iPhone.
2. 2Under On this iPhone / iPad, tap Connect.
3. 3Widget: long-press the home screen → + → Sayweek.
4. 4Share: in Safari, Photos, Notes or LinkedIn → Share → Sayweek – the text or link lands in the ideas box.

Disconnect

1. 1Revoke Reminders access in the iPhone's Settings › Sayweek.
2. 2For the widget and Share, go to Settings → Apple: iCloud and iPhone → Connected devices and click Revoke in the device's row – the widget, Share and Face ID stop working on it immediately.
