In plain words
What is it for?
Creating to-dos with due dates, reading or changing Reminders lists, and making tasks appear on an iPhone or iPad. It is not for calendar events, project tracking, or scheduled agent alerts.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-reminders scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apple Reminders

Use remindctl to manage Apple Reminders directly from the terminal. Tasks sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

Prerequisites

  • macOS with Reminders.app
  • Install: brew install steipete/tap/remindctl
  • Grant Reminders permission when prompted
  • Check: remindctl status / Request: remindctl authorize
  • If macOS reports Full Access but remindctl status still says Not determined or Denied, test AppleScript instead:
osascript -e 'tell application "Reminders" to return name of every list'

If AppleScript works, use Reminders AppleScript as a fallback for list/read/create operations; the TCC grant may apply to Terminal/Python but not the remindctl binary context.

When to Use

  • User 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 on their iPhone/iPad

When NOT to Use

  • Scheduling agent alerts → use the cronjob tool instead
  • Calendar events → use Apple Calendar or Google Calendar
  • Project task management → use GitHub Issues, Notion, etc.
  • If user says "remind me" but means an agent alert → clarify first
  • Things 3 — if the user's primary task manager is Things 3, note it has no terminal CLI; it exposes data only via URL scheme (things://...) or manual export (File → Export → JSON/HTML).

Quick Reference

View Reminders

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

Pitfall — remindctl list can hang: remindctl list --all timed out after 180s in testing. Use remindctl today, remindctl week, or date-specific queries instead of broad list commands. If you must see everything, pipe through a timeout:

timeout 30 remindctl all 2>&1

Manage Lists

remindctl list # List all lists
remindctl list Work # Show specific list
remindctl list Projects --create # Create list
remindctl list Work --delete # Delete list

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
