What this skill helps with

The Apple Reminders skill in OpenClaw uses remindctl to read and manage reminders and reminder lists. Its metadata identifies macOS as the supported platform and requires the CLI and Reminders access.

When to use it

Use it when you want a task in the Apple Reminders app, including reminders that sync to your Apple devices. Calendar appointments and OpenClaw notifications require different workflows.

What to bring

Provide the reminder title, list and due date, and clarify whether you want an Apple reminder or an agent notification. The macOS runtime needs Reminders permission and remindctl on its PATH.

What to expect

Expect a reminder list or the requested reminder change in the authorised app. This page only documents the workflow and shows a fictional task list; it does not write to your Reminders account.

How the skill works

Check app access

Use the CLI’s status check and grant Reminders access in the actual runtime when required.

Clarify the destination

Separate personal Apple Reminders from calendar events, project issue tracking and timed OpenClaw alerts.

Make the scoped change

Set the intended list and date, then verify the resulting reminder. Complete or delete only the items the user has selected.
