September 12, 2022

Life today is filled with to-dos. We are all busy bodies, constantly doing one thing or the other and relying on various trusty little reminder apps to make sure we get things done on time.

But now, there’s a simpler way to do it. Let’s see how to set reminders in Windows 11 using a built-in app called Microsoft To-Do.

What is Microsoft To-Do?

Microsoft To-Do is a simple, user-friendly app that lets you to plan your daily activities and set reminders for your tasks. You can set due dates and priorities for each task, share them with friends and family and even link it to Outlook Tasks for easier task management.

When you are setting a recurring reminder, you can also type the details in the Task bar. For example, you can type “Medication at 7 AM every day”. This will create a recurring reminder for 7 AM every day.

The Microsoft To-Do app will then remind you about the task at the set date and time.
