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 add --title "Meeting prep" --due "2026-02-15 09:00"

Complete / Delete

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

Output Formats

bash
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

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

Structured decision-making framework for technical proposals and trade-off analysis. When the user faces a choice between multiple approaches (architecture decisions, tool selection, refactoring strategies, migration paths), this skill produces a 1-3-1 format: one clear problem statement, three distinct options with pros/cons, and one concrete recommendation with definition of done and implementation plan. Use when the user asks for a "1-3-1", says "give me options", or needs help choosing between competing approaches.
