LoopQue vs Apple Reminders

Apple Reminders is free, built into every iPhone, and syncs to your Mac and Watch. This page is about the one thing it still asks of you that LoopQue does not: reading the letter, and typing in what it said.

When Apple Reminders is the better choice

If you are only ever typing short reminders yourself, Apple Reminders is free, faster to reach, and already on every device you own. Nothing here beats a built-in app for "remind me to call Mum at six". LoopQue earns its place when the reminder is already printed on something and you do not want to read it.

The short version

Apple Reminders is somewhere to put reminders you have already worked out. LoopQue works them out for you — from the letter, the screenshot, or your voice.

Does LoopQue replace Apple Reminders?

It does not have to. Plenty of people keep both: Apple Reminders for quick typed items, LoopQue for anything that arrived as a document or a message and hides a date inside it.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Text recognition runs on your device, so the image itself never leaves your phone. Card and account numbers are removed from the text before anything is sent.

What do I get without paying?

Ten captures a month from photo, voice or text, plus shopping lists. Calendar suggestions, loop nudges, recurring reminders and unlimited captures are part of Pro.
