10 Tech How-To

Access Samsung Reminders on PC & Mac

Guide 10-38397 · Updated · Step by step

This guide shows you how to view and manage your Samsung Reminders on a Windows PC or Mac, so you can see your tasks without picking up your phone. You’ll need a Samsung account and a web browser—no extra software is required.

What You’ll Need

  • A Samsung account (the same one used on your phone)
  • A web browser on your PC or Mac (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.)
  • Your phone with Samsung Reminders synced to your Samsung account (verify in Settings > Accounts > Samsung account > Sync)

Step-by-Step

  1. Open your web browser on your PC or Mac.
  2. Go to the Samsung Reminders web app by visiting reminders.samsung.com. This is the official web version of Samsung Reminders.
  3. Sign in with your Samsung account credentials. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, complete that step as prompted.
  4. Allow sync if prompted – the web app may ask for permission to access your reminders. Click Allow to continue.
  5. View your reminders – you’ll see a list of all reminders that are synced from your phone. The interface is similar to the mobile app, with options to filter by list, category, or completion status.
  6. Create a new reminder – click the + or New Reminder button, type your task, set a due date/time if needed, and save. It will sync back to your phone.
  7. Edit or complete reminders – click on any reminder to edit details, mark it as complete, or delete it. Changes will sync to your phone automatically when you’re online.
  8. Organize with lists – use the sidebar to switch between different reminder lists (e.g., Personal, Work, Shopping). You can create new lists from the web app as well.

Common Mistakes

  • Using the wrong account – make sure you’re signed in with the same Samsung account as on your phone. If you have multiple Samsung accounts, check which one your phone uses.
  • Sync not enabled on phone – if reminders don’t appear, your phone may not be syncing. Go to Settings > Accounts and backup > Samsung account > Sync, and ensure Reminders is toggled on.
  • Expecting a desktop app – there is no native Windows or Mac app; the web app is the only official way to access reminders on a computer. Don’t download third-party apps that claim to be Samsung Reminders.
  • Forgetting to refresh – the web app may not update in real-time. Refresh the page (F5 or Cmd+R) to see the latest changes from your phone.

Tips

  • Bookmark the web app for quick access. You can also create a shortcut on your desktop that opens directly in your browser.
  • Use keyboard shortcuts – in most browsers, Ctrl/Cmd + L focuses the address bar, and Ctrl/Cmd + D bookmarks the page. These help you navigate faster.
  • Check your internet connection – the web app requires an active connection to sync. If you’re offline, you can view cached reminders but changes won’t sync until you’re back online.
  • Use the mobile app for advanced features – location-based reminders and some notification settings are only available on the phone app. The web version is best for quick viewing and basic edits.

Troubleshooting

Reminders not showing up?

  1. Verify you’re signed in with the correct Samsung account.
  2. On your phone, go to Settings > Accounts and backup > Samsung account > Sync, and toggle Reminders off and on again.
  3. Wait a few minutes and refresh the web page.
  4. If still empty, sign out of the web app and sign back in.

Can’t sign in?

  1. Check your internet connection.
  2. Try a different browser or an incognito/private window.
  3. Clear your browser cookies and cache, then retry.
  4. If you use a password manager, ensure it’s not autofilling incorrect credentials.

Changes not syncing to phone?

  1. Make sure your phone is connected to the internet.
  2. On your phone, open the Samsung Reminders app and pull down to refresh.
  3. Check that the sync toggle is on for Reminders in your Samsung account settings.
  4. Restart your phone if the issue persists.

Web app is slow or unresponsive?

  1. Close other tabs and browser windows to free up memory.
  2. Update your browser to the latest version.
  3. Disable browser extensions that might block scripts or cause conflicts.
  4. Try a different browser (e.g., if you’re on Chrome, try Edge or Firefox).
