Some cool things:
- The "Remind" list lives with your other Reminders, so adding from your phone or watch (or another Mac) just works.
- Frontmatter in the Reminder lets it continue an existing Claude session. A Stop hook captures the session id, so the next time it runs it can pick up where the last left off.
It's free, updates itself with Sparkle, and requires that you have `claude` on your $PATH running on macOS 15+.
Remind has become sticky in my personal workflow so I thought I'd share it here. Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.
What is your read on the ToS? From what I understood, Anthropic want anything automation-wise be on their cloud so they can charge you extra...
I was hoping to have some sort of schedule to check specific things and only alert me if there is something I care about - I was looking at desktop notifications but have you found a workflow you like? I don't see myself looking at results of reminders... I guess my prompt could invoke whatever skill (e.g. emailing)
Does it work well with recurring reminders?
Any way to make it work with CLI tools?
Notifications: Yeah, I think you could just ask Claude to notify you based on some interest condition. When it writes back into the reminder it's really just for bookkeeping and task continuations.
Recurring: Yes, this works cleanly. Remind marks the Reminder as complete at fire time, letting it roll forward.
CLI: You could have claude just call them, but you're asking if it could fire cli tools directly instead of through `claude`?
Last, I realized I didn't mention how to actually use Remind from `claude` itself: It installs a skill called `/remind` which you can invoke inside the chat.
