Apple Reminders

Use the apple-reminders bridge to manage Apple Reminders via remindctl on the host.

When to Use

• User explicitly mentions "reminder" or "Reminders app"
• Creating personal to-dos with due dates that sync to iOS
• Managing Apple Reminders lists

When NOT to Use

• Scheduling Ciana tasks or alerts -> use the schedule_task tool instead
• Calendar events -> not supported by this skill
• Project/work task management -> use Notion, Trello, or Things
• User says "remind me" but means a Ciana alert -> clarify first

Commands

All commands run via host_execute(bridge="apple-reminders", command="...").
