Share a reminder list on Mac
Share the load — collaborate on an iCloud reminder list with other people to get things done faster.
You can share reminder lists in your updated iCloud reminders account with other iCloud users who’ve also updated their reminders. Everyone who shares the list can create and edit reminders from any computer or device set up with iCloud. Notifications aren’t shared; you can set a reminder to remind you at a time or place, but it won’t remind anyone else.
By default, when you share a list, anyone you share the list with can share it with additional people. To learn how to control who can share the list, see Change who can share the list with others.
After you start sharing a reminder list, you can add or remove people, or stop sharing the list with anyone.
You can also assign reminders to people who share the list.
Note: All Reminders features described in this guide are available when using updated iCloud reminders. Some features aren’t available when using accounts from other providers.
