Reminders Integration

Timing's Reminders integration lets you view when you completed reminders on your timeline and suggest their reminder titles when creating time entries. This gives you additional context for when you worked on specific tasks throughout your day, allowing for more accurate time tracking.

Learn how to set up and use this integration below.

Getting Started

To set up this integration, open Settings > Integrations and click Add next to Reminders. Its page then walks you through the setup:

  1. Click Allow Access and allow Timing to access your reminders. This is required for Timing to import them.
  2. Check the lists whose reminders Timing should import. This allows you to e.g. only import reminders from your "Work" list, so that your timeline does not include personal tasks. With all lists checked, Timing also imports lists you create later.

Then click Set Up.

After completing the setup, Timing should soon begin to show events for completed reminders on your timeline:

In addition, whenever you create a new time entry, Timing will include the titles of completed reminders in the list of suggestions for the time entry's title:

Customization Options

To keep the amount of information on your timeline manageable, Timing offers a few customization options for the Reminders integration:

  • Choose to display reminders from all lists or just selected ones on the integration's page in Settings > Integrations. Changes apply right away.
  • Recurring reminders can be set to be hidden, similar to filtering out phone calls with specific contacts. This allows you to permanently hide recurring tasks such as "Walk the dog" from your timeline, further reducing clutter.
