Managing Apple Reminders from the Command Line

If you use Apple Reminders, you can control it directly from Clawdbot using remindctl. Here is how to set it up and use it.

Installation

brew install steipete/tap/remindctl

Grant Reminders permission when prompted (or run remindctl authorize).

Viewing Reminders

remindctl today      # Due today
remindctl tomorrow   # Due tomorrow
remindctl week       # This week
remindctl overdue    # Overdue items
remindctl all        # Everything

Creating Reminders

Quick add:

remindctl add "Buy milk"

With list and due date:

remindctl add --title "Call mom" --list Personal --due tomorrow

Completing Reminders

remindctl complete 1 2 3  # Complete items 1, 2, 3

Managing Lists

remindctl list              # Show all lists
remindctl list Work         # Show items in Work list
remindctl list Projects --create  # Create new list

JSON Output for Scripting

remindctl today --json | jq ".[].title"

This is perfect for AI assistants that need to capture tasks or check what is due. I use it to automatically add reminders when I say things like "remind me to..." in chat.
