About:
Rem is a command-line utility designed to interact with the Reminders app database on macOS. It allows users to list, add, and remove reminders directly from the terminal, enabling automation and integration with shell scripts. This tool is ideal for developers and power users who want to manage their tasks without leaving the command line environment.
Key Features:
  • List all reminders from the local database
  • Add new reminders via command-line arguments
  • Remove reminders by ID or title
  • Lightweight and fast execution
Use Cases:
  • Automating task creation from shell scripts or cron jobs
  • Quickly adding reminders during terminal workflows
  • Integrating reminders into development pipelines
Alternatives:
  • reminders-cli – Similar functionality but may use AppleScript instead of direct database access
  • Shortcuts app – GUI-based automation, less suitable for pure CLI workflows
