Dedicated FinyxFin List

When sync is enabled, FinyxFin automatically creates a dedicated reminder list called "FinyxFin" inside the Apple Reminders app. All synced reminders appear in this list, keeping them organized and separate from your other reminders.

Sync Status

After syncing is complete, you'll see a status indicator showing that reminders are synced. The status updates to confirm successful synchronization.

Status Meaning
Synced All reminders are up to date in Apple Reminders
Syncing... Currently syncing reminders
Not Set Up Apple Reminders sync hasn't been enabled
Error Sync encountered an issue โ€” check permissions

โž• Creating Reminders

Open Reminders

Navigate to the Reminders section from the sidebar

2

Tap Add Reminder

Start creating a new reminder

3

Enter Details

Add title, date, time, and any notes

4

Save

Your reminder is created and syncs to Apple Reminders (if enabled)

โœ… Automatic Sync

Once created, reminders automatically appear both inside FinyxFin and in Apple Reminders (based on your sync settings). No manual sync required!

๐Ÿ“ Where Reminders Appear

When Apple Reminders sync is enabled, your FinyxFin reminders appear across all your Apple devices:

Device How to Access
iPhone Apple Reminders app โ†’ FinyxFin list
iPad Apple Reminders app โ†’ FinyxFin list
Mac Reminders app โ†’ FinyxFin list
Apple Watch Reminders app or complications
Siri "Hey Siri, show my FinyxFin reminders"
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Siri Integration

Ask Siri about your reminders: "What bills are due this week?" or "Show my FinyxFin list" to hear your upcoming reminders.

โš ๏ธ Beta Limitations

Because Apple Reminders integration is in beta, please be aware of these limitations:

  • Occasional sync delays โ€” Reminders may take a moment to appear in Apple Reminders
  • One-way sync โ€” Changes made in Apple Reminders may not sync back to FinyxFin
  • Feature changes โ€” Behavior may change in future updates as we improve the integration
  • Permission requirements โ€” FinyxFin needs Reminders permission to sync
๐Ÿ”ง Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with sync, you can disable Apple Reminders integration at any time from Settings โ†’ Notifications. Your reminders in FinyxFin won't be affected.

๐Ÿ”• Disabling Sync

To turn off Apple Reminders sync:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Open Notifications
  3. Toggle off Sync to Apple Reminders
โ„น๏ธ What Happens When Disabled

Your FinyxFin reminders remain in the app. You can choose whether to keep or remove existing reminders from the Apple Reminders app.

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need Apple Reminders sync to use FinyxFin reminders?
No, Apple Reminders sync is optional. You can use FinyxFin's built-in reminders without enabling Apple integration.
Q: Will reminders sync to my Apple Watch?
Yes! When Apple Reminders sync is enabled, reminders appear on your Apple Watch through the Reminders app and can be added to watch face complications.
Q: What if I deny Reminders permission?
Sync won't work without permission. You can grant it later in iOS Settings โ†’ FinyxFin โ†’ Reminders.
Q: Can I sync only some reminder types?
Yes! You can independently enable or disable sync for custom reminders, bill reminders, and loan reminders.
Q: If I complete a reminder in Apple Reminders, does it update in FinyxFin?
During beta, sync is primarily one-way (FinyxFin โ†’ Apple). Completing in Apple Reminders may not immediately reflect in FinyxFin.
Q: Does syncing use extra battery?
Minimal impact. Sync only happens when you create or modify reminders โ€” there's no constant background activity.
Q: Can I choose a different list in Apple Reminders?
Currently, FinyxFin creates and uses its own dedicated "FinyxFin" list. This keeps your financial reminders organized separately.
Q: When will the beta end?
We're continuously improving the integration. The beta label will be removed once we're confident in the feature's stability and reliability.
