Sangdol/reminders-jxa

A command line tool that lets you add items to your macOS Reminders lists with a human-readable date format

Reminders JXA

Quickly and easily add items to your macOS Reminders lists.

Installation

npm install

Usage

Adding an item to the default list

By default, the application adds a new item to the Todos list.

For example,

node index.js --text 'run'

Adding an item to the default list with a date string

r is used as a separator between a text and a date string.

For example,

node index.js --text 'run r 11:00'
node index.js --text 'run r tomorrow 11:00'
node index.js --text 'run r 11th 11:00'
node index.js --text 'run r in 5 minutes'

# 08:00 is the default time when there's no time specified
node index.js --text 'run r tomorrow'

sugarjs is used to parse a date string. You can find more date format examples in the sugarjs Parsing section

Adding an item to a specific list

You can use a --list argument to specify the list name.

For example,

node index.js --text 'run r 11th 11:00' --list Work

Alfred integration

I've written this script to use it with Alfred.

I used to use the alfred-reminders workflow but I stopped using it since it was laggy. I needed a fast workflow that does one thing well.

If you're an Alfred Powerpack user, you can add items via Alfred by creating your own workflow.

Check out the Alfred Run Script Action page for more information.
