What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates repetitive manual work of creating, querying, and updating Apple Reminders by letting you manage reminders programmatically on macOS.

Core Features & Use Cases

• JXA-first Reminders automation: Use JavaScript for Automation (JXA) via Script Editor to create reminders, update properties, and delete items safely.
• Efficient discovery with filtering: Use Reminders specifiers and .whose queries to filter by title, due dates, completion state, and other properties with fewer round-trips.
• Batch-friendly operations and “move” workaround: Implement update/delete in batches and handle moving items via copy-delete patterns since native move may be unavailable/restricted.
• Practical admin-style workflows: Create reminders with due/remind dates, mark reminders complete based on criteria, list overdue/incomplete items, and manage lists reliably across localized list names.

Quick Start

Create a new reminder via JXA by asking: create a reminder titled "Prepare deck" with a due date 3 days from now and a reminder alert 2 days from now in my Reminders list.
