Frequently Asked Questions
While Apple Reminders is convenient because it is pre-installed, Codot offers features Apple Reminders does not have: AI-powered voice input with deeper natural language understanding in 16 languages, daily audio briefings, habit tracking, an AI assistant, and ADHD-friendly features. If you need more than basic reminders, Codot provides a significant upgrade for free.
Codot has its own AI voice input system that offers deeper natural language understanding for tasks than Siri provides with Apple Reminders. While Siri can add basic reminders, Codot's AI can parse complex spoken task descriptions and automatically extract dates, priorities, categories, and subtasks.
Codot does not currently offer location-based reminders. This is a feature that relies on deep operating system integration that Apple Reminders has as a built-in app. If location-based reminders are important to your workflow, you might want to use both apps.
Yes, both are completely free. Apple Reminders comes pre-installed on Apple devices and requires an Apple ID. Codot is free to download on iOS and also available as a web app, meaning you can access your tasks from non-Apple devices as well.
