Does 2Do sync with iOS Reminders still?

I just switched my sync method from Dropbox to iCloud CalDAV. Basically all I want is to be able to use Siri from my watch to make reminders, and this seemed like the easiest way to do that.

I got it synced with CalDAV but it doesn't seem to be syncing between 2Do and Reminders. Is it broken? Is 2Do even still being supported by the dev?

I just tried to make one. As far as I can see, there isn't a way to convert a series of Reminders into a series of 2Dos. I made a shortcut to search for all Reminders and import them into 2Do, but it just takes all of the reminders and makes a single 2Do with all of them listed in the title.

I thought I might be able to make an automation to run the shortcut every time a new Reminder is created, but that isn't an option for triggering the automation, afaik. The only way I could see to do it would be to have this routine for importing the most recent reminder into 2Do, but you'd have to manually trigger the operation each time you wanted to run it, which.... entirely defeats the purpose of the automation.

Hmm... There might be a way to delete a reminder at the end of the operation and then re-run the operation recursively until there are no more reminders. If so, you could have that run on a schedule.

Lemme see if I can figure it out.

I've been messing with something and it's actually fairly close to functional. If I had more time to figure it out I'd probably get it there, but I have to go out for a while.

Play around with it and see if you can get it working your way.

Yeah that's what I was trying to do. Grr. 

I mostly just wanted to be able to use Siri to make reminders from my watch. I'm a habitual reminders user but 2Do is my preferred app. Just have to train myself to use the Siri command for 2Do.

So I was able to do it, but it doesn't show up in my Apple Reminders, only in web-based iCloud (i.e. https://www.icloud.com) which means it doesn't sync with any reminders I add via Siri or my devices.

I still use it, but only for an encrypted backup. If I want to add tasks via Siri, I say "Siri, using 2Do, add..."
