Apple Reminders

A terminal interface for Apple Reminders that's surprisingly useful if you live in the command line but still want tasks syncing to your phone. Built on remindctl, it handles the full CRUD cycle: create reminders with due dates, filter by list or timeframe, mark complete, or nuke them entirely. The JSON output mode makes it scriptable, which is where this actually shines over clicking around in the GUI. One caveat worth noting: the docs are careful to distinguish between Apple Reminders (persistent, synced tasks) and ephemeral alerts, since users saying "remind me" often mean different things. macOS only, needs Homebrew, and you'll grant it Reminders access on first run.
