SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Reminders normally requires opening the Reminders app on macOS, which breaks terminal-based workflows. This Skill lets you create, list, complete, and delete reminders directly from the command line, with tasks syncing across all Apple devices via iCloud. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Create and manage reminders: Add reminders with titles, due dates, and list assignments using remindctl commands. - View and filter tasks: Show today's, tomorrow's, overdue, or date-specific reminders, and organize them into custom lists. - Scriptable output: Use --json, --plain, or --quiet output formats for programmatic parsing and automation. - Use Case: A user says "remind me to call mom tomorrow" and wants it on their iPhone. The Skill creates the reminder via remindctl with a due date, and it syncs to iOS through iCloud. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to add a reminder with a title and due date, for example: create an Apple Reminder to buy milk due tomorrow in my Personal list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add an Apple Reminder from the command line?▼

Use remindctl add with a title, for example: remindctl add --title "Call mom" --list Personal --due tomorrow. The reminder syncs to your Apple devices via iCloud once created.

How do I install remindctl on macOS?▼

Install remindctl via Homebrew with brew install steipete/tap/remindctl. After installation, run remindctl status to check permissions and remindctl authorize to request Reminders access.

What date formats does remindctl accept for due dates?▼

remindctl accepts relative dates like today, tomorrow, and yesterday, plus YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm, and ISO 8601 formats such as 2026-01-04T12:34:56Z for the --due flag and date filters.

Can I use remindctl output in scripts?▼

Yes, remindctl supports machine-readable output formats. Use --json for structured JSON parsing, --plain for TSV output, or --quiet to get counts only, making it suitable for shell scripting and automation.

When should I use Apple Reminders instead of a cronjob alert?▼

Use Apple Reminders when you want a personal to-do that syncs to your iPhone or iPad via iCloud. Use a cronjob or agent alert when you need the assistant itself to notify you or run a scheduled action.
