As is annual tradition around here, I have a request of the Reminders team. This time, it’s about the watchOS version of the app.
Take a look at these watch faces:
The example on the left includes the GoodTask complication; the one on the right is from Reminders itself. GoodTask’s is much more useful, as it lets me see how many more tasks I have due with a simple glance.
Basically every watchOS task app has this as an option for a complication because it’s incredibly useful. In looking through the App Store, I was hard-pressed to find a good task app that doesn’t offer this feature.
This doesn’t have to add a lot of complexity to Reminders. The number shown on the complication should inherit the user’s settings for the application’s badge. This would make Reminders even more useful on the go. For those who don’t want this, the current complication could continue to work as-is.
