# Apple Reminders CLI (remindctl)
Use `remindctl` to manage Apple Reminders directly from the terminal.
## When to Use
**USE this skill when:**
- User explicitly mentions "reminder" or "Reminders app"
- Creating personal to-dos with due dates that sync to iOS
- Managing Apple Reminders lists
- User wants tasks to appear in their iPhone/iPad Reminders app
## When NOT to Use
**DON'T use this skill when:**
- Scheduling Clawdbot tasks or alerts → use `cron` tool with systemEvent instead
- Calendar events or appointments → use Apple Calendar
- Project/work task management → use Notion, GitHub Issues, or task queue
- One-time notifications → use `cron` tool for timed alerts
- User says "remind me" but means a Clawdbot alert → clarify first
## Setup
- Install: `brew install steipete/tap/remindctl`
- macOS-only; grant Reminders permission when prompted
- Check status: `remindctl status`
- Request access: `remindctl authorize`
## Common Commands
### View Reminders
```bash
remindctl # Today's reminders
remindctl today # Today
remindctl tomorrow # Tomorrow
remindctl week # This week
remindctl overdue # Past due
remindctl all # Everything
remindctl 2026-01-04 # Specific date
```
### Manage Lists
```bash
remindctl list # List all lists
remindctl list Work # Show specific list
remindctl list Projects --create # Create list
remindctl list Work --delete # Delete list
```
### Create Reminders
```bash
remindctl add "Buy milk"
remindctl add --title "Call mom" --list Personal --due tomorrow
remindctl add --title "Meeting prep" --due "2026-02-15 09:00"
```
### Complete/Delete
```bash
remindctl complete 1 2 3 # Complete by ID
remindctl delete 4A83 --force # Delete by ID
```
### Output Formats
```bash
remindctl today --json # JSON for scripting
remindctl today --plain # TSV format
remindctl today --quiet # Counts only
```
## Date Formats
Accepted by `--due` and date filters:
- `today`, `tomorrow`, `yesterday`
- `YYYY-MM-DD`
- `YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm`
- ISO 8601 (`2026-01-04T12:34:56Z`)
## Example: Clarifying User Intent
User: "Remind me to check on the deploy in 2 hours"
**Ask:** "Do you want this in Apple Reminders (syncs to your phone) or as a Clawdbot alert (I'll message you here)?"
- Apple Reminders → use this skill
- Clawdbot alert → use `cron` tool with systemEvent
