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
