List, add, edit, complete, or delete Apple Reminders and reminder lists via remindctl.

AI rating70/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Review today’s tasks and overdue reminders
  • Add personal to-dos with due dates
  • Organize tasks visible on an iPhone or iPad
  • Manage lists and complete or delete tasks

Overview

What it does

Manage Apple Reminders tasks and lists on a Mac through remindctl. View tasks for today, tomorrow, this week, or those that are overdue. Add, edit, complete, and delete reminders, and create or delete lists. Due dates can include a time as well as a date. Results are also available as JSON, tabular TSV, or counts only.

When it helps

Use it to record personal to-dos, such as shopping or phone calls, with due dates. You can ask an agent to organize tasks that appear in the Reminders app on your iPhone or iPad. It also helps you review what needs doing today and what is already overdue.

Example requests

  • “Show today's reminders and overdue tasks.”
  • “Add ‘Buy milk’ with a due date of tomorrow.”
  • “Add a phone call task to the Personal list and mark finished tasks complete.”

Notes

This skill is for macOS only. You need to install remindctl and allow access to Reminders. Calendar appointments and scheduled OpenClaw alerts are outside its scope. When making a request, explicitly say that the task should be saved in Apple Reminders to make your intended use clear.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.
