Home / StudiFoca Documentation / Using StudiFoca / Syncing steps to Reminders

If you’d rather see your scheduled steps and class meetings in Apple’s own Calendar and Reminders apps, StudiFoca can keep them in sync—one-way, from StudiFoca out, so your existing Reminders and Calendar entries aren’t touched.

Turning on sync

In Settings → iCloud Calendar & Reminders, switch on Sync with iCloud Calendar & Reminders, then choose what syncs where: class meetings, assignments and assessments to Calendar, scheduled steps to Reminders.

StudiFoca's sync settings, with iCloud Calendar and Reminders enabled. Class meetings, assignments, and assessments each sync to Calendar, and a note explains that assignments also send their scheduled steps to a StudiFoca list in Reminders. A Sync Now button below covers the Fall 2026 term.

Sync switched on, all three categories enabled, with a Sync Now button for the currently selected term and a timestamp of the last sync.

What shows up in Reminders

Once synced, scheduled steps appear in the Reminders app as ordinary reminders, dated and grouped the way you’d expect—searchable and checkable there even if you never open StudiFoca that day.

Checking a reminder off in Reminders doesn’t check off the step in StudiFoca—the sync is one-way, so StudiFoca stays the source of truth for what’s actually been done. Use Sync Now after making changes in StudiFoca to push them to Reminders again.
