User Interaction Tips
When users want to manage todos:
- Clarify intent - Ask what they want to do (add, view, complete, etc.)
- Offer shortcuts - For common actions like "remind me to...", directly call add
- Show results - Display operation results and current list status
- Support fuzzy matching - complete/delete/search all support fuzzy matching
Notes
- Date format - Supports natural formats like "2025-02-05", "Feb 5, 2025", "tomorrow"
- Fuzzy matching - complete/delete/search use contains matching, no need for full titles
- Permissions - macOS may request permission to control Reminders on first run, click Allow
- Sync - Changes sync to iCloud and appear on other Apple devices
- Recurring reminders - Due to AppleScript limitations, complex recurring settings should be configured manually in the app
