Iphone Reminders For Mac



Apple Reminders is in the process of getting a big overhaul this year. The new version is available now on iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, and will arrive on macOS when the Catalina update hits this month.

Water is essential for our life to stay healthy and fit. We must drink enough water every day at regular intervals. Up to 65 percent of the human adult body is water, and we must replenish it as frequently as possible. However, we tend to forget drinking water at regular intervals. Thankfully, there are some of the best water reminder apps for Apple Watch and iPhone.
