FAQPage Schema
How do I add Apple Reminders from the command line?▼

Use remindctl with the add command, for example: remindctl add --title "Call mom" --list Personal --due tomorrow. The reminder syncs to all Apple devices through iCloud once created.

How do I install remindctl on macOS?▼

Install remindctl via Homebrew with brew install steipete/tap/remindctl. After installation, run remindctl status to check permissions and remindctl authorize to request Reminders access.

What is the difference between due date and alarm in remindctl?▼

The --due flag sets the reminder's actual due date and time, while --alarm sets the notification trigger time. Pass --alarm explicitly when you want an earlier nudge than the due time, and verify with remindctl today --json.

Can I get Apple Reminders output as JSON for scripting?▼

Yes, remindctl supports --json for structured output, --plain for TSV format, and --quiet for counts only. Use --json when parsing reminder data programmatically in scripts.

When should I not use Apple Reminders for reminders?▼

Avoid Apple Reminders for scheduling agent alerts, which belong in a cronjob tool, and for calendar events, which belong in Apple or Google Calendar. Project task management is better handled by GitHub Issues or Notion.
