How to set up Wunderlist, create to-do lists, set reminders

OS X 10.10 or later, Wunderlist
Wunderlist is the ultimate to-do app for keeping your
life in order. Instead of offering one mundane list or calendar to store everything, you can create categorised lists, such as one for your office and one for your groceries, allowing you to manage various task types from one place.
The app is available free of charge for your Mac and there’s also an app (the standard app is free, but you have the option to subscribe to access more features) for your mobile devices, allowing all your tasks to stay in sync. The built-in Wunderlist helper also lets you set reminders which will display even when the program isn’t running.
Adding items to your to-do list is incredibly simple – just type something in and press ® . Check the tick box next to each task on your to-do list and it will be marked as done. You can display completed to-do items at any time with a single click.
Further options
Double-click on any task to see further options. For instance, you can set a reminder or add sub-tasks. Click the star icon to mark a task as urgent. The Notes and Comments section is also useful for adding any extra information you might need to refer to.
The Share option at the bottom of the screen can be used to create a collaborative to-do list. Simply enter your recipient’s email address to add them to your list. Use the Sort button to change how tasks are displayed – for instance, in the order they were created.
For old school users, the More button can be used to print hard copies of any to-do list or, handily, you can email a list in text format to non-Wunderlist users. Nate Drake
