Apple Calendar and Reminders

Sync your TellDone events and tasks directly with Apple's built-in apps on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Apple Calendar​

Events extracted from your voice notes automatically appear in Apple Calendar.

Settings integrations calendar and reminders

Setup​

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations
  2. Toggle on Apple Calendar
  3. Grant calendar permission when prompted
  4. Events from future recordings sync automatically

How it works​

  • New events from your recordings appear in Apple Calendar
  • Changes sync between TellDone and Calendar
  • This is a local integration - data stays on your device

Choose a calendar​

By default, TellDone creates events in your default Apple Calendar. You can pick a different calendar:

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Calendar
  2. Select the calendar you want TellDone to use

Manual sync​

Use the Sync button in Settings > Integrations > Calendar to force-sync all TellDone events to Apple Calendar at once.

Apple Reminders​

Tasks from TellDone sync with Apple Reminders.

Setup​

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations
  2. Toggle on Apple Reminders
  3. Grant reminders permission when prompted
  4. Tasks from future recordings sync automatically

List selection​

Choose which Reminders list TellDone exports tasks to in Settings > Integrations > Reminders.

Sync modes​

Two modes are available in Settings > Integrations > Reminders:

  • Dated tasks only - only tasks that have a deadline are sent to Reminders
  • All tasks - every task is sent to Reminders, with or without a deadline

Two-way status sync​

When you complete a task in Apple Reminders, it syncs back as completed in TellDone. This uses "completed-wins" logic - once a task is marked done in either app, it stays done. Tasks are never reopened by the sync.

note

Apple Calendar and Apple Reminders are local integrations available on iOS only. They work directly on your device, don't require a paid plan, and don't count against your integration slots.

Troubleshooting​

If events or tasks aren't syncing:

  1. Check that you've granted TellDone permission in your iPhone's Settings > TellDone
  2. Make sure the integration is toggled on in TellDone Settings > Integrations
  3. Try toggling the integration off and on again
tip

You can use Apple Calendar sync alongside server integrations like Todoist. Local and server integrations work independently.
