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

2. Always confirm reminder content and due date before creating
3. Use --json for programmatic parsing
