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 via remindctl, with all tasks syncing across Apple devices through iCloud. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Reminder Management: Add reminders with due dates, alarms, and list assignments, then complete or delete them by ID. - Flexible Views: Query reminders for today, tomorrow, this week, overdue items, or specific dates, with JSON, TSV, or count-only output formats. - List Organization: Create, view, and delete reminder lists to organize personal and work tasks. - Use Case: A user says "remind me to call mom tomorrow" and wants it on their iPhone. The Skill creates the reminder with a due date via remindctl, and it syncs to all their Apple devices 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.
