ReminderBridge works within the current capabilities of each API. To keep the app clean and reliable, we prioritize features that have native counterparts in both Google Tasks and Apple Reminders.

• Your internet connection must be active
  • The Google API uses a token that must be refreshed approximately every hour.
  • ReminderBridge refreshes the OAuth connection automatically while the app is running and an internet connection is available.
• Multiple accounts
  • Only one Google and one Apple Reminders account can be active at a time.
  • We plan to actively update ReminderBridge, and multi-account support is a feature we are exploring.
• Subtasks
  • Google Tasks support subtasks natively.
  • Apple Reminders uses “child reminders,” but they behave differently at the API level.
  • To preserve task structure, subtasks are not currently synced.
• List deletion in Apple Reminders
  • Lists must be manually deleted inside the Reminders app due to Apple’s API restrictions.
  • ReminderBridge does not automatically delete entire lists.
  • Deleting a Google Tasks list can leave its Apple Reminders counterpart without a source.
• Due times, reminders, and alarms
  • Due dates synchronize, but due times, reminders, and alarms are ignored.
• Recurring tasks
  • The platform where a recurring task originates controls the recurrence.
  • Edit recurring tasks at their source for the most reliable behavior.
  • ReminderBridge synchronizes core task information, not the recurrence rule itself.
• Conflict resolution
  • If both copies change before synchronization, the latest whole-task change wins.
  • Resolution is not field-by-field.
• Reset behavior
  • Resetting local synchronization data can cause existing tasks to be treated as new and completed tasks to return.
• Real-time (push) sync
  • No push updates yet; syncing occurs via scheduled intervals or manual sync.
