What it does

Read and write reminders in the macOS Reminders app — list reminder lists with incomplete counts, list reminders inside a list, surface today's due + overdue items, create / update / complete / delete reminders with name, notes, due_date, priority (0/1/5/9), search by keyword across name + body. macOS only; uses local JXA, no API key. macOS prompts for Reminders permission on first run. Use when the user mentions Apple Reminders, macOS Reminders, Reminders.app, to-do, or wants to manage their local Mac reminders.

The Apple Reminders skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.

Sample prompts

Once Syncore is installed and Apple Reminders is connected, ask your agent something like:

• “List lists from Apple Reminders.”
• “List reminders from Apple Reminders.”
• “List today due from Apple Reminders.”

Tools available (10)

• apple-reminders__list_lists

  List the reminder lists configured in macOS Reminders (name + count of incomplete items).

• apple-reminders__list_reminders

  List reminders inside a list. Includes optional `include_completed` flag and pagination by limit.

• apple-reminders__list_today_due

  List incomplete reminders due today (across all lists by default).

• apple-reminders__list_overdue

  List incomplete reminders whose due date is in the past.

• apple-reminders__get_reminder

  Fetch one reminder by id (Reminders.app uses opaque ids — return them from list_reminders / create_reminder first). Accepts the alias `id` so you can pass create_reminder's `id` response field straight through.

• apple-reminders__create_reminder

  Create a new reminder. due_date is ISO8601; priority is 0 (none) / 1 (low) / 5 (medium) / 9 (high) per Apple's enum. The display name accepts both `name` (Apple's native field) and `title` (the convention agents tend to use across other to-do toolkits). Response includes `id` which you can pass straight to complete_rem

• apple-reminders__update_reminder

  Patch fields on an existing reminder by id. Accepts `id` as an alias for `reminder_id`, and `title` as an alias for `name` — same convention as create_reminder so the agent doesn't have to rename round-tripped values.

• apple-reminders__complete_reminder

  Mark a reminder as completed. Accepts `id` as an alias for `reminder_id` so create_reminder's response field can be passed through unchanged.

• apple-reminders__delete_reminder

  Delete a reminder by id. Idempotent.

• apple-reminders__search_reminders

  Search across all reminders (or one list) by free-text query in name + body.

How to connect

Apple Reminders is a no-auth skill — there's nothing to connect. Once Syncore is installed, your agent can call its tools immediately.

1. Run curl -fsSL https://syncorelabs.ai/install.sh | sh on macOS / Linux (or the PowerShell command on Windows).
2. Run syncore login to create your account and a device-bound encryption key.
3. Run syncore update to sync the skill + credentials to every installed AI client.

Pricing

Free at every Syncore tier. Connect your account once at /connect; the OAuth or API-key credential stays encrypted on your machine and syncs to your other devices via the Syncore vault.
