FAQPage Schema
How do I add Apple Reminders from the command line on macOS?▼

Use remindctl with the add command, for example remindctl add --title "Call mom" --list Personal --due tomorrow. Install it first with brew install steipete/tap/remindctl and grant Reminders permission when prompted.

How do I list today's reminders in the terminal?▼

Run remindctl today to show reminders due today, or remindctl with no arguments. Other filters include tomorrow, week, overdue, all, or a specific date like remindctl 2026-01-04.

Does remindctl sync reminders to iPhone and iPad?▼

Yes, reminders created with remindctl sync across all Apple devices through iCloud, since it writes directly to Apple Reminders. Tasks appear on iOS as long as iCloud Reminders sync is enabled.

Can I get Apple Reminders output as JSON for scripting?▼

Yes, pass the --json flag to any view command, such as remindctl today --json, to get machine-readable output. The --plain flag gives TSV format and --quiet returns counts only.

When should I not use Apple Reminders for a reminder request?▼

Avoid it for scheduling agent alerts, which belong in a cronjob tool, and for calendar events, which belong in Apple or Google Calendar. Project task management is better handled by GitHub Issues or Notion.
