Yes, the community has requested this for years.
Definitely, it should be easier to work with reminders.
I would like to add shortcuts via Smart Add.

Lots of things have been requested for years. They never happen. Hence why quite a few regard RTM as abandonware.

Hi helill,
Thanks for getting in touch.

Setting up reminders can work based on the due and start dates/times, so that adding a date and/or time will make reminders go off on schedule. See our reminders Help page for more details on this.

It's a separate step to add an individual reminder, which is requested in our Ideas forum. It doesn't have many comments or votes, so feel free to add there; we use that feedback to gauge interest. 💙

Either way, or both, we appreciate the feedback!
