Before you start.
A list visible in Reminders on this Mac. You can connect on Free. Live calendar/reminder tools in Chat and actions require Pro or the trial; Free can search eligible personal memory within its history window.
What you can do
- List reminders and include due or overdue tasks in your briefing.
- Create or complete reminders with approved actions; optionally add meeting action items to a Doppel list.
Connect Apple Reminders.
Choose a list to try.
Open Reminders and check that the list you want to use is available on this Mac.
Find Apple Reminders in Doppel.
Open Settings → Integrations → Add integration. Select Apple Reminders, then Connect.
Allow Reminders access.
Approve the macOS prompt. If access was denied before, enable Doppel in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders.
Start with a read.
Check that Apple Reminders shows connected. During the Pro trial or with Pro, ask for today’s reminders. To save meeting action items automatically, review the separate Add action items to Apple Reminders option in Settings → Voice & meetings → Meetings.
Choose what to remember.
With Pro or the trial, use Manage sources to remember selected content and assign it to a project. This is an additional, separately authorized connection.
Open Manage sources.
Go to Settings → Integrations → Manage sources. In Selected sources, choose Add account. This is separate from Add integration.
Add the source account.
Select the service and give the account a label. Sign in to the account that owns the source, or approve macOS access for Apple Calendar and Reminders. This account is stored separately from your primary integration connection.
Choose where the source belongs.
Select Choose source. Set Use in to the intended Doppel project, or All-work chats only. A source assigned to one project cannot be requested from another project’s chat.
Select what to remember.
Choose a reminder list.
Check the import.
Choose Add source, then inspect its coverage and Last complete sync. Use Sync now to refresh it. Ask a question in the project you assigned, or an All-work chat if you chose All-work chats only.
What this imports
Selected reminder list, including completed items. Changes reconcile with explicitly linked commitments.
Check each source’s coverage and Last complete sync. If access becomes unavailable, the source is excluded from answers until a complete sync succeeds.
Start with something you know
Check the connection.
Which reminders are due today?
Compare the result with Reminders. For a new task, name the intended list and due date and review the proposed action.
Data and permissions.
Doppel uses Reminders through macOS. Reminders may sync with iCloud or the account attached to the list; creating a reminder can therefore send its content to that account.
Current limits
Granting access and enabling automatic meeting action items are separate choices. Use a dedicated list when trying automated follow-ups.
Disconnect or change access.
Turn off Doppel in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders to revoke access. Reminders already created remain in their lists.
Selected-source accounts are separate. In Manage sources, remove an individual source or disconnect its account to remove those imported copies and credentials. Disconnecting the primary integration alone does not remove a separately authorized source account. Provider originals, saved chats, and exports are managed separately.
If something isn’t working.
The wrong list appears
Check the list and account in Reminders. Include the exact list name in your request, and check the destination before approving a new task.
