What This Skill Does

Manages Apple Reminders from the terminal using the remindctl CLI. Supports creating, editing, completing, and deleting reminders, with list filtering, date-based views, and JSON or plain text output. macOS only.

When to use it

  • Checking today's and upcoming reminders without opening the Reminders app
  • Adding a reminder with a due date from a terminal script
  • Listing overdue tasks to review what was missed
  • Exporting reminders as JSON for scripting or automation
  • Managing multiple reminder lists from the command line
