MLO for iOS: add tasks by voice using Siri

We are glad to let you know that MyLifeOrganized iOS Task Manager has been taught to add reminders using voice!

MLO users have long been asking us to connect Siri to MLO through the Reminders app. Why would we need that and what is it for?

As you know, in iOS there is a standard application called Reminders. iOS allows you to use Siri, the built-in voice assistant, to add new reminders to the Reminders app. In other words, you can say “Hey Siri” and literally dictate a new task indicating the reminder time. Such task will first be added to the Reminders system app:

And we’ve made it exactly as you asked — you can dictate a new Siri reminder and after launching the MLO this task will be in <Inbox>. This makes the reminders adding process effortless and quick.

Let us consider how to set it up.

First, we tap to activate the "Import reminders" setting in MLO Settings-> Reminders. Next, we select the list from the Reminders app to be processed by MLO:

Tip. To make it more organized, you can create a separate reminder list in Reminders specifically intended for MLO. In this case other lists will not be processed.

Now we just add a new reminder to this list in Reminders and launch the MLO.

Thus, at the time of launch, MLO will transfer all tasks from the chosen list in the Reminders app to the <Inbox> folder in MLO with given reminder time or assigning the appropriate context for the location-based reminder (if set):

We've also prepared a video with a brief overview of the new feature:

 
Be assured — you are bound to be twice productive with the new Siri reminder functionality in MyLifeOrganized. This feature gives you a new lease when you need to take prompt decisions and produce effective solutions. On top of that, you are now provided with a whole new method for creating planning systems and lists.  

Note: You would need to run the Pro version to use the new feature "iOS Reminders".
