Drag - move reminders / auto time change

[MarcoHdzC]

Would be useful for some users like me, to simply drag a reminder in the list, up or down, and when this happens, it automatically changes its time accordingly the place is located. (and maybe add a preference that where you can set when you to this type of drag behavior whats the time amount the reminder will change by default). Very often I don't use due for something to do at a specific time, instead, I use it just as a general to-do list for a specific day. So I end up adding or subtracting hours to arrange the things to do in a specific order of priority. The integration with Siri, reminders and MacOSX keep me using due is amazing ;) I use it every day almost every hour of the day, but this feature would be very handy!!

Thanks for your suggestion. It's an interesting idea with a challenging implementation.

Let's say you have these items:

A 9am
B 5pm
C 6pm

What happens when you drag C between A and B? Should it be 1pm (right in the middle), or closer to 9am, or closer to 5pm?

And so on…

Hi! I imagine if you have a global settings that you can set the behavior when dragging for example 1 hr jumps, then in your example, C will change to 4 pm.

Another idea could be to have a global switch on the app, that you can turn off all the time scheduling and become a to do list for specific dates, reminders stay organized as they are by they original time scheduling and users can drag up and down the reminders dependes on the order they want.

I work as a film Postproducer now working for Netflix shows, I usually just dictates to Siri a think to remin me in a specific date and then when that day arrives I just so all the things that I have to do, I ignore always the time it is set, I just check the position in the list. First ones are the first to resolve on the day or with top priority etc.

Want you think? I can be a beta tester on the field ;) greetings

Thanks for the additional information, I thought this was for macOS, but looks like you originally meant it for iOS.

Items without due dates can certainly be useful. The focus for Due is on reminders that will always need an alert.

There are many apps out there that specialize in todos where items do not necessary have due dates, and I use them in conjunction with Due.

At this moment I don't have plans to change this.

Hi! I meant the drag behavior for both apps mac and iPhone. Anyways the drag up and down feature would be amazing for both app! More intuitive and faster to operate in my opinion.

Best Marco
