ReminderSnap Support

ReminderSnap 2.1 is your assignment center for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Import screenshots, photos or PDFs, check the extracted details, and keep deadlines in the in-app calendar. Optional Apple and Google workflows export selected tasks. Recognition runs on-device; no school login is needed. Version 2.0 retains its Apple-only import workflow.

Version 2.1 — quick start

Build 20107 was submitted to App Review for both platforms on October 29, 2026 and is awaiting approval. Version 2.0 remains the current public release.

1. Follow the short visual introduction. The first page is Your Task Calendar.
2. Choose Import Tasks. On iPhone/iPad you can take a photo of a laptop screen, crop/retake it, or select photos/files.
3. Check each title and deadline. Supply a missing year, confirm course timezone, and select your class section when prompted. Other sections are filtered, not deleted. Courses are optional; uncategorized tasks can still be saved.
4. Save selected tasks. Confirmed tasks stay in your calendar with a course-colour legend. Clear Import only clears the temporary review.
5. In Settings, enable ReminderSnap notifications and test them. Default timed-task alerts are one day and two hours before the real deadline. Date-only tasks use that morning and the previous morning. Open the app regularly: the nearest 60 alerts are scheduled, subject to system permission and Focus settings.
6. Optionally choose Apple apps or Google Calendar. Google sign-in is on demand and accesses only app-created secondary calendars. Public Google sign-in is enabled; app-name branding verification is still pending. Version 2.1 is awaiting App Review and remains available to the existing TestFlight testers.

Private iCloud sync uses the same Apple account on all devices. Offline edits stay local; sync can be delayed. Screenshots and raw OCR are not synced. Permission and Google sign-in must be configured separately on each device. External edits are not automatically imported. Apple-linked updates wait for their original exporting device; Google updates require its connected account.

Use Select in Your Task Calendar to remove multiple linked planning blocks while keeping assignments, or delete assignments with/without linked items. Test tasks are labelled and can be removed in Settings. The in-app sample is only a preview; an external demo asks before creating one labelled real test item.

Some recognition is uncertain, especially underlined single-digit assignment numbers, glare, small text or missing timezone/year. Always review before relying on a deadline. Camera, notifications, cross-device sync and linked edits depend on device permissions and account settings. Submitted/graded assignments are hidden by default in the import list; use the sliders menu → Show submitted assignments to include them. The detected count includes hidden rows. Rows without a visible deadline may not become dated tasks.

Report a problem or ask a question.

Include your ReminderSnap version, device model, operating-system version, what you expected and what happened. If an example is useful, use a synthetic image or redact personal information first. GitHub issues are public; never post passwords, private assignment files, calendar contents or other personal information. No files are automatically attached.

Version 2.0 — getting started

1. Follow the first-launch pop-up guide, or open User Guide, and connect Reminders, Calendar, or both.
2. Choose a writable reminder list/calendar, or expand the creation option and choose a name and account.
3. After allowing or changing permissions, finish setup and quit/reopen ReminderSnap once before importing real tasks. On Mac use ReminderSnap → Quit ReminderSnap (⌘Q), not just the window’s close button. On iPhone/iPad close it from the app switcher and reopen. Do not restart the device. Unsaved review items are not retained after quitting; saved Apple entries remain unchanged.
4. In Add Reminder, import screenshots or PDFs together. Review titles, courses, deadlines, timezone and alerts.
5. Select the tasks to save. Choose Add Selected. Clear All clears the review only, leaving saved Apple entries and original files intact.

No app login, paid subscription or school website credentials are required. Import and review also work before granting Apple app permissions. The safe sample never saves to your real lists or calendars.

Common questions

• Permission denied or destinations missing: check ReminderSnap in System Settings / Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders and Calendars, then return to User Guide and refresh. Verify the selected account is configured in Apple’s apps.
• Calendar is allowed in Settings but still looks disconnected: quit and reopen ReminderSnap once, then use Check again in User Guide. The app refreshes access automatically, but Apple’s permission/session state may lag on some systems. A successful request can show Approved · reopen app while confirmation is pending; that does not bypass the full-access requirement for saving.
• The guide did not appear after an older TestFlight install: build 20004 introduces a revised guide-completion marker, so it appears once even if an older guide was marked complete. You can always reopen it from User Guide → Replay first-launch guide.
• I cannot see reminders in Calendar: Apple’s native scheduled-reminder display requires macOS 15 / iOS 18 or later and must be enabled in Calendar. Check account synchronization settings. ReminderSnap’s optional Calendar companion blocks are separate events and work independently.
• Late-night deadline: a 23:59 reminder keeps its real deadline. Its optional Calendar block runs from 22:00 to 23:00 on that day. Hide the dedicated calendar in Apple Calendar whenever you do not want to see the blocks.
• Notifications: deadline notifications belong to Apple Reminders; extra alerts belong to the Calendar blocks. Check notifications for Apple’s apps, Focus, sound and device settings. Keep a future due time when testing.
• Recognition needs review: use a sharp image with a little margin around the task title and deadline, include the course context, and import overlapping screenshots together. Always review the output before saving.
• Clear All: clears temporary review data; it does not delete saved reminders, Calendar blocks or source files. Manage saved entries in Apple’s apps.

Requirements: macOS 13 or later; iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. Both Apple Silicon and Intel Mac builds are supported.

ReminderSnap 支持

2.1

构建版本 20107 已于 2026 年 10 月 29 日提交两个平台的 App Review，尚待批准；当前公开版本仍为 2.0。

首页为「作业日历」，导航包含「作业日历」「导入任务」「设置」「使用指南」。导入截图、照片或 PDF 后核对详情；iPhone/iPad 支持拍摄电脑屏幕、裁剪与重拍。缺少年份时需补充，课程时区需确认，多个班级时选择自己的班级。其他班级仅被筛选；课程可留空，未分类作业仍可保存。

确认的作业会保留在应用日历中，并有课程颜色图例。「清空导入」只清空临时核对数据。在设置中开启并测试 ReminderSnap 通知：默认提前一天、两小时通知；仅日期任务在当天和前一天早晨通知。系统仅安排最近 60 个通知，请定期打开应用刷新。送达受权限和专注模式影响。

可按需连接 Apple 应用或 Google 日历。Google 仅在选择连接时登录，只访问本应用创建的辅助日历。Google 登录已向外部用户开启，应用名称的品牌验证仍待完成；2.1 正在等待 App Review，现有测试者仍可通过 TestFlight 使用。

私人 iCloud 同步要求各设备使用同一 Apple 账户。离线修改保存在本机，同步可能延迟，不同步截图和原始识别文本。各设备分别授权和登录。外部日历修改不会自动导入；Apple 关联由最初导出设备更新，Google 需要对应账户连接。

可在作业日历中批量选择并移除关联计划块，同时保留作业；也可选择删除作业时是否删除关联条目。设置中可清理引导测试任务。应用内示例不写入真实日历；外部测试会在创建一项标注的测试任务前征求同意。

下划线单个作业编号、反光、小字或缺少时区/年份仍可能导致识别不确定，保存前请核对。相机、通知、跨设备同步和关联修改取决于设备权限及账户设置。导入列表默认隐藏已提交或已评分作业，可在筛选菜单开启「显示已提交作业」。识别总数包括被隐藏的条目，未显示截止日期的行可能不会生成带日期任务。

2.0 说明

ReminderSnap 在 Mac、iPhone 和 iPad 上将截图和 PDF 转为可核对的 Apple 提醒事项及可选日历时间块，使用 Apple Vision 在设备本地识别。

报告问题或提问。请说明应用版本、设备型号、系统版本及操作过程。GitHub 问题是公开的，请使用虚构或已遮挡私人信息的示例，不要发布密码、私人作业、日历内容等个人信息。

首次启动会弹出使用引导，也可以在「使用指南」中重新打开。连接提醒事项或日历并选择或创建保存位置后，请退出并重新打开 ReminderSnap 一次，再导入真实任务。Mac 上使用 ⌘Q（仅关闭窗口不算重启）；iPhone/iPad 上从 App 切换器关闭后重开。无需重启设备。退出不会保留尚未保存的核对列表，但已保存的 Apple 条目不受影响。

然后在「添加提醒」中导入文件、核对任务并保存所选条目。安全示例不会创建真实任务。无需应用账户、订阅或学校网站密码。构建版本 20004 会向已完成旧版引导的用户再次显示修订后的引导，完成后不再自动重复。

若缺少权限，请检查系统「隐私与安全性」中的提醒事项和日历权限，再返回使用指南刷新。日历原生显示计划提醒事项需 macOS 15 / iOS 18 或更新系统，并在日历中启用；可选日历时间块独立工作。23:59 截止的提醒事项保留真实时间，对应时间块为当天 22:00–23:00，可在日历中隐藏专用日历。通知受系统通知与专注模式设置影响。

若系统设置已允许日历访问，但应用仍显示未连接，请退出并重新打开一次，然后点击「重新检查」。成功的授权回调与系统确认的权限状态可能暂时不同，此时可显示「已批准 · 请重开应用」；系统确认完整访问权限前仍无法保存。

「清空全部」仅清空当前核对数据，不会删除原始文件或已保存的提醒事项与日历事件。识别不清晰时，请保留标题和日期周围的一点边距，并补充课程信息；保存前始终核对结果。

系统要求：macOS 13 或更新版本；iOS/iPadOS 17 或更新版本。
