# 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
