Reminders come to Google Calendar on the web, bringing to-do list support

A calendar offering reminders might seem like a fairly obvious feature, but here we're talking about Reminders (note the initial cap). Towards the end of last year, Google Calendar on iOS and Android gained support for Reminders -- and, as a result, to-do lists -- and now the same feature is coming to Google Calendar on the web.

Unlike standard calendar appointments, Reminders stick around until you tick them off. There's no need to keep changing the due date on something you don't get round to doing, as it will automatically roll over to the next day and appear on your calendar until you take the appropriate action.

Importantly, Reminders that have been created in mobile apps will sync to the web version of Calendar, but this is not the only place they can be created. Reminders can also be created via Google Now, Keep and Inbox, and these will all be collated together in your calendar. Google says:

Just like on Android and iPhone, you'll get the following:

• Reminders stick around -- If a reminder isn't completed, it will appear at the top of your calendar until you mark it done.
• Reminders work across Google -- Reminders you create in Inbox, Keep, and the Google app will also show in Google Calendar.
• Reminders sync with mobile -- Reminders created in mobile show up on the web and vice versa. So you can stay on track from just about anywhere.

If you don’t see Reminders on the web just yet, you won't have to wait long as the feature is rolling out this week.
