What CoIsland watches in Reminders

Each monitor kind brings its own query and its own card in the notch.

Due soon and overdue

A reminder due at a time warns a few minutes before (15 unless you choose otherwise) and again once it is overdue; one with only a date warns on its day. The ring counts down to the next reminder due.

lead:15m horizon:1d list:all priority:high

lead:0m warns only when a reminder is overdue. list: takes a list id (the editor picks them by name) or list:all. Connect Reminders covers the setup and every message.

Connect it in three steps

  1. Add a Reminders connector. Test connector asks macOS for access to your reminders, once.

  2. Pick Due soon and overdue or New reminders, and the lists to read.

  3. Choose how many minutes of warning you want, and a priority if only the important ones should alert.

Built for Reminders

  • Every list Reminders.app shows, read on your Mac with no password or sign-in.
  • Read only: it never completes, edits or adds a reminder.
  • Notes are shown only on the alert page, never written to an alert.

Then hand it to an agent

A click on the alert opens the agent in a terminal under it, with the whole alert as its first message.

Reminders questions

Does it need my Apple ID?

No. CoIsland reads what Reminders.app already has, through macOS. The one permission is the Reminders switch in Privacy & Security, which macOS asks for when you test the connector.

What about reminders with a date but no time?

They count as due that whole day. They warn when the day starts and are overdue once it ends.
