Though iCloud offers support for shared Reminder lists, you can't create such lists in the desktop app--instead, you'll need to add them via the .

Reminders also includes an integrated search box at the upper left of its window. Search results appear in realtime as you type, with incomplete tasks listed first, with tasks due soonest listed first. Below those are matching completed tasks, oddly also listed with older due dates first--so you see completed tasks from long ago before more recent ones.

In short, Reminders on Mountain Lion is a faithful recreation of the iOS version of the app, and offers a straightforward way to add, edit, and check off todo list items. The seamless sync with your iOS devices affords the fairly simple app some serious power; typing out your shopping list on your Mac and accessing it immediately from your iPhone turns out to be pretty great.
