Not another list. The one you already keep.
Perch reads and writes the same Reminders that sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You don’t switch to Perch instead of Reminders. You use Perch because you use Reminders.
Type it the way you’d say it.
Write “Email Sam tomorrow at 9” and Perch understands the date and time on its own. Set a priority or drop it into a specific list, all from the same line.

Switch between Today, Upcoming, All, or any of your lists. A live count in the menu bar shows what’s due at a glance. Or display your next reminder’s title instead.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Perch is the missing piece of Apple Reminders. It lives in your Mac’s menu bar so you can capture a reminder in plain language, glance at what’s due, and check things off without opening Reminders.app.
No. Everything reads and writes the same Reminders you already have. You don’t switch to Perch instead of Reminders. You use Perch because you use Reminders.
So it can show and edit your existing lists on this Mac. That access is on-device only. If you decline, Perch can’t display your reminders.
No. Perch has no account and makes no network connections. Your reminders never leave your Mac except through your own iCloud sync. More in the Privacy Policy.
Yes, through Apple’s iCloud Reminders, the same way they already do. Perch doesn’t run its own sync.
