Quickly capture tasks from any screen by turning text into an actionable reminder. This feature uses a powerful shortcut to parse text directly from a screenshot, creating a reminder with a time-sensitive alert and attaching the original image for context. It’s the fastest way to ensure important to-dos from text messages, emails, or websites are never forgotten.
This release introduces the Screenshot to Reminder shortcut, a new way to interact with on-screen content. When you run this shortcut, it automatically takes a screenshot of your current screen, uses Apple Intelligence to extract relevant text, and creates a new entry in your Reminders app. The reminder includes the extracted text as the title, a default alert set for one hour later, and attaches the screenshot so you can always refer back to the original source.
For the best results, use this feature on screens with clear, concise text. While the shortcut is smart, complex layouts might result in a more generic reminder title. You can always tap on the created reminder to edit the title, alert time, or add more notes.
The Screenshot to Reminder shortcut bridges the gap between passive information and active tasks. It offers a seamless workflow for capturing important to-dos from any context on your device, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. This tool is perfect for quickly saving tasks from conversations, articles, and more, complete with full visual context.
