How to Export iPhone Reminders to CSV or JSON

Reminder lists often hold more than simple to-do items — tasks with due dates, notes, priorities, completed history, and project context. Exporting reminders to CSV or JSON gives you a file-based copy of that information. CSV is easier for everyday review; JSON is better when structure matters or another system will process the data.

Reminder lists often hold planning details that matter beyond the Reminders app. They may contain tasks, due dates, notes, priorities, completed items, and project context.

Exporting reminders to CSV or JSON gives you a way to keep that information as a file. CSV is easier for spreadsheets; JSON is better when structure matters or another system will process the data.

CSV vs. JSON for reminders

CSV is best for everyday use. It opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers as a readable table. Most people reviewing or archiving reminder lists will prefer CSV.

JSON is better when you need a structured data file — for a script, another app, or a technical workflow that needs to process reminder data programmatically.

If in doubt, CSV is the more practical starting point.

When reminder exports are useful

A reminder export can help with: project records after a task list is completed, archiving a routine checklist before changing it, backing up reminder lists before switching phones or accounts, reviewing completed task history, or sharing a task list outside the Reminders app.

What to look for in the exported file

Check that the export includes: reminder titles, notes, due dates, completion status, and list names. A clear filename — including the list name and export date — makes the backup easier to find and identify later.

How Export Reminders fits the workflow

Export Reminders saves reminder data into practical file formats for planning, review, and backup. The Reminders app stays where your tasks live — the export is for when you need a separate file copy.

Quick checklist

  • Choose CSV for spreadsheet review; choose JSON for structured data workflows.
  • Decide whether you need active reminders, completed reminders, or both.
  • Save the export with the list name and date in the filename.
  • Open the file once to confirm the important fields are present.
  • Store the backup with related project or planning files.
