Apple Reminders

Use `remindctl` to manage Apple Reminders directly from the terminal. Tasks sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

Prerequisites

  • **macOS** with Reminders.app
  • Install: `brew install steipete/tap/remindctl`
  • Grant Reminders permission when prompted
  • Check: `remindctl status` / Request: `remindctl authorize`

When to Use

  • User mentions "reminder" or "Reminders app"
  • Creating personal to-dos with due dates that sync to iOS
  • Managing Apple Reminders lists
  • User wants tasks to appear on their iPhone/iPad

When NOT to Use

  • Scheduling agent alerts → use the cronjob tool instead
  • Calendar events → use Apple Calendar or Google Calendar
  • Project task management → use GitHub Issues, Notion, etc.
  • If user says "remind me" but means an agent alert → clarify first

remindctl list Work          # Show specific list
remindctl list Projects --create    # Create list
remindctl list Work --delete        # Delete list

Create Reminders

remindctl add "Buy milk"
remindctl add --title "Call mom" --list Personal --due tomorrow
remindctl add --title "Meeting prep" --due "2026-02-15 09:00"

remindctl complete 1 2 3          # Complete by ID
remindctl delete 4A83 --force     # Delete by ID

Output Formats

remindctl today --json       # JSON for scripting
remindctl today --plain      # TSV format
remindctl today --quiet      # Counts only

Date Formats

Accepted by `--due` and date filters:

  • `today`, `tomorrow`, `yesterday`
  • `YYYY-MM-DD`
  • `YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm`
  • ISO 8601 (`2026-01-04T12:34:56Z`)

Rules

1. When user says "remind me", clarify: Apple Reminders (syncs to phone) vs agent cronjob alert 2. Always confirm reminder content and due date before creating 3. Use `--json` for programmatic parsing
