The Apple Reminders app, an extremely useful way to stay organized on iOS and macOS, is again available via your web browser, thanks to an updated version of Apple's iCloud website. But you will not see this and other Apple changes unless you sign up for the beta of iCloud.

In addition to the resurrected Reminders app, the new iCloud portal features an all-new interface (as well as essential applications of iCloud: Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Notes, Photos, as well as the new "Find My" feature of the device, previously called "Find my phone.")

It's easy to get started in the beta version of iCloud because it's open to anyone with an Apple account. Open beta.icloud.com and log in. You will then be able to access all the normal iCloud apps you are used to, and you will (finally) be able to play again with the reminders. The changes you make will be synced to any iOS or Mac OS device on which you've enabled iCloud, which is probably all you have – most people connect to iCloud, we bet.

Apple's beta for iCloud should be deployed alongside iOS 13 and macOS Catalina at launch (probably in less than a month). If you want a quick overview of the new features of Apple's new operating systems, check out our guide to installing public beta versions for iOS 13, iPadOS 13, tvOS, watchOS and macOS Catalina.
