Quick Notes, Checklist & Reminders

Tutorial 2 of 11 · about 3 minutes

Not everything needs its own collection. Every account comes with three Quick collections for the small stuff: a gift idea, a to-do, a reminder to pick something up. They're always one tap from Home.

You'll need: the myStuf app, signed in. Works on every plan.

  1. Find the Quick buttons

    On Home, just under the greeting, the Quick: row has Notes, Checklist and Reminders. Each one opens its collection.

  2. Jot a note

    Tap Notes, then + New Note. Give it a Title and write whatever you need under Note Content.

    Scroll down for extras: a category, priority and color, a reminder date, photos, or a voice recording. Then tap Save Note.

  3. Your notes, newest first

    Each note shows its first lines and when you wrote it. Use Search notes to find one later, or tap a note to edit it.

  4. Add to your checklist

    Back on Home, tap Checklist, then + New Item. Type what needs doing and, if you like, a description, category, priority or Due Date. Tap Save Item.

  5. Tick things off

    Tap the circle beside an item when it's done. The count at the top keeps track, like "4 items, 1 completed".

    Checklist items with a due date also appear under More → Checklist Items with Due Date.

  6. Set a reminder

    Tap Reminders on Home, then + New Reminder. Give it a title, then switch on Reminder and pick the date and time.

    Your phone gets a real notification at that time, even with myStuf closed. Turn on Play Alarm to have it ring. Tap Save.

  7. See what's coming up

    When a reminder is close, Home shows a banner like "1 Reminder(s) due soon", and Recent Collections keeps your Quick lists close at hand.
