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.
  • Requiring an active connection keeps authentication simpler and avoids extra credential-storage complexity. Supporting offline refresh would require a server, which would increase costs and move ReminderBridge away from its local-first, privacy-focused design.
• 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.
• Real-time (push) sync
  • No push updates yet; syncing occurs via scheduled intervals or manual sync.
