What Pineday adds
Pineday separates what you could do from what you will do today. A task lives in the Inbox, Anytime or Someday until you choose it. The morning plan asks what you will focus on, and the load bar shows when a day has too much on it.
Where Reminders is the better choice
If you mostly need to be reminded of things, Reminders is hard to beat. It is free, it syncs without paying, Siri can add to it, it can remind you when you arrive somewhere and you can share lists. Keep it for shopping lists even if you plan your days in Pineday.
