Apple is infamous for keeping their users in a closed ecosystem.
With iOS 13, Apple has completely revamped the Reminders app on the iPhone.
And while the app is natively available on macOS, the same isnt true for Windows.
It can be useful for those using iPhone and Windows simultaneously.
Use iCloud Web
Apple offers a centralized iCloud experience on the web.
Tap on Reminders, and it will open up the web version of Reminders with created lists on iCloud.
From here, one can add or complete new tasks, and add notes to a task.
The web version is strictly limited to viewing and completing tasks.
Use iCloud App on Windows
Last year, Apple made the iTunes app available on Windows Store.
Now, the company is offering an iCloud app on Windows.
Users can also download the iCloud app from the web.
After setting up the service, bring up the iCloud app, and sign in using Apple account credentials.
Lets stick with iCloud Tasks for the moment.
After a successful sync, launch the Outlook app on Windows.
iCloud will create a separate iCloud account under the Tasks menu inMicrosoft Outlook.
From the left menu, tap on the three-dot button, and launch the Tasks section.
You will find Outlook Tasks as well as iCloud Tasks with lists.
This solution is more functional than the above web version.
The iCloud app directly integrates with the default file manager on Windows.
From there, one can access all the iCloud files, including photos, iWork files, and folders.
Users can add a folder and files to sync them to Apples cloud services.
Download iCloud for Windows

However, you might change that to the Outlook on the iPhone.
Here is how to do that.
From that account, switch-on the Reminders tab to sync the Outlook tasks with the Apple Reminders app.
Now, the Reminders iOS app will display the Outlook account with lists.
Go to options > Reminders and change the default list from iCloud to Outlook.
There are a couple of ways to access those Outlook tasks on Windows.
But, I have even a better way to manage them.
It works two-way with Microsoft account in the center.
If you are using the macOS, then its easy to access and manage them.
