Add a reminder from another app on Mac
While youโre using an app, you can add a reminder for an item in the app โ without switching to Reminders. For example, you can create a reminder for the web page youโre viewing in Safari, a selected note in Notes, a location or directions in Maps, or the card youโre viewing in Contacts.

Add a reminder from another app
When you add a reminder from another app, an app icon or link is added to the reminder. You can use that icon or link to get back to the item in the app where you created the reminder, such as a Safari web page, Mail message or Maps location.
While using an app on your Mac, select the item you want to remember, click
, then choose Reminders. If the app doesnโt have a Share button, Control-click the item you want to remember, choose Share, then click Reminders.
Note: In some apps, the Share menu doesnโt include Reminders, so you canโt use it to create a reminder for the selected item or location.
Click Add.
