CONCEPT - Cortana Reminders - Lists

By

Description

As it stands right now, Cortana reminders are a bit disorganized and are not able to connect to other reminder services such as Apple's Reminder app or other reminder services. This means if you use reminders a lot and you don't use Cortana on your mobile device (or recently started using the new Cortana app on other platforms), you may have reminders from other services and maybe you feel limited on Cortana. Cortana's reminder feature-set isn't as versatile and customizable as other apps like Apple's Reminder app. I thought I'd show my idea on how to give a flexible organization feature to Cortana.

Introducing Reminder LISTS! Lists aren't new, but they are nowhere to be found in Cortana. I designed a concept which introduces reminder lists while staying as close to the original Cortana design as possible.

This allows you to add lists to put certain reminders in a particular list like reminders which are school-related can be put into a "School reminders" list (you can rename your lists to whatever you want!). Or your grocery list can be put in a list dedicated to groceries. You can colorize the reminders/lists so they are easily distinguishable and you know what reminder is in what list.

ALSO INCLUDED: You can download the .AI working file so you can see it and edit it in Adobe Illustrator. I recreated some of the Cortana UI as pure vector. :)

Good idea :) Can I add some comments?
Pic2. It is not obvious, that "Reminders" is an active element. Is there a way to mark it as droplist?
Pic4. Observation from using Wunderlist, Trello and calendars: First I think "I need to create a reminder about ***" and only after that I think about "To what list should I add it?". What if I start creating a reminder, but have not created appropriate list beforehand? Is there any option to create a new list at this stage?
Pic7. Some colors are close to each other. And some users have bad monitors. How about marking selected color in swatch? Checkmark or something else?
Anyway, nice approach )
