This app automatically imports any text that is saved in the Reminders. I name my list "Drafts" so it can be used by the Drafts app on iOS. You'll need a dedicated list in the Reminders app that'll be used exclusively to sync text between your Mac and iOS device.


It'll take about 10 minutes to set up and 30 seconds to use once you have it configured. You need to use iCloud to sync your reminders for this to work. Want to send text from your Mac to your iPhone without installing an extra app to do the legwork for you? Here is a workflow that takes snippets of text you copy on your Mac and sends it your iPhone using the Reminders app.

I can stay in the web browser and grab a quote without the distraction of opening the Notes app and copy/pasting my text. On the Mac side, I also prefer using the services menu as it helps me keep my focus. If I used the Notes app on the Mac and iOS, I would end every day with 10-15 additional entries. As a result, the Reminders list is always empty. Drafts imports the text from Reminders and then checks off the items in the list. Yes, the Notes app works well for syncing text, but I use Reminders because it integrates with the Drafts app. Update: Several readers have emailed me and asked why I don't just use the Notes app to send text from my Mac to my iPhone.
