remi

Manage Apple Reminders via CLI with section support and iCloud sync. Use when the user asks to create, list, complete, search, or organize reminders.

remi — Apple Reminders CLI

All commands support --json for structured output. Requires macOS 13+ with Reminders access.

How to invoke

Run remi as a CLI command via Bash. If remi is not on PATH, use npx @mattheworiordan/remi instead. Always use --json when calling programmatically.

Commands

# Lists
remi lists                                          # All lists
remi list "<name>"                                  # Reminders in a list
remi list "<name>" --include-completed
remi create-list "<name>"
remi delete-list "<name>" --confirm

# Reminders
remi add "<list>" "<title>"                         # Simple add
remi add "<list>" "<title>" --section "<s>" --due 2026-04-15 --priority high --notes "..."
remi complete "<list>" "<title>"
remi delete "<list>" "<title>" --confirm
remi update "<list>" "<title>" --due 2026-05-01 --priority medium

# Sections
remi sections "<list>"                              # List sections
remi create-section "<list>" "<name>"               # Idempotent
remi delete-section "<list>" "<name>"
remi move "<list>" "<title>" --to-section "<name>"  # Assign to section

# Queries
remi today
remi overdue
remi upcoming --days 7
remi search "<query>"

# Diagnostics
remi doctor

JSON mode

Use --json for programmatic access. Returns {"success": true, "data": ...} or {"success": false, "error": {"code": "...", "message": "...", "suggestion": "..."}}.

Key behaviors

• Idempotent — creating an existing section returns success
• Title matching — case-insensitive; use --id <prefix> if ambiguous
• Sections sync to iCloud — changes appear on all Apple devices
• --confirm required for delete operations in interactive mode (not needed with --json)
