Reminders Workflow

[rknightuk]

I tried a bunch of Reminders workflows that are available and none of them were quite what I wanted (or were just broken completely). My one does the following:

 

- View all upcoming reminders
- View upcoming reminders from a specific list
- Mark reminders complete
- Set a default list for creating reminders (or create for a specific list)
- Create new reminders with natural language (e.g. "Lunch with John tomorrow 1pm")

It is quite a large download because I'm bundling the CLI I'm using so I apologise for that. Any issues you hit let me know, only I've used it so far.

Very well done, thank you! This is the only reminder workflow that actually works from the lot I have tried.

I had a bit of issues having Apple display the option to allow under security, but eventually it went thru.

[rknightuk]

Yeah the permission wrangling is a bit annoying but I don't think there's a way round it. Glad it's working for you now though!

I'm not getting it to show up in security & privacy. Tried removing and re-adding the workflow, closed and re-opened alfred. Any tips?

[rknightuk]

It should pop up if you select one of the options (like upcoming reminders for example). If that doesn't work, try opening the workflow folder in terminal and running `./reminders-helper` and see if that triggers it.

I can't get this workflow to initiate with the keyword rmind. There's no pop ups or anything in privacy to allow, I've tried changing the keyword too. Any ideas? 

[rknightuk]

When you say it won't initiate, do you mean it the workflow doesn't show up at all? Someone is reporting that on Reddit here.

 

Or do you mean you don't get the popup like the person above in the comments here?

[Slatts]

Yeah the workflow doesn't show at all like in the Reddit post, very strange.

Does this Workflow support location-based reminders? If not, does anyone know a workflow that supports them?

Hi, I just downloaded this and configured it. It doesn't add reminders to my Reminders app with a select Create New Reminder.
How might I troubleshoot this? I jumped through all the Security hurdles.

Thanks - Alan

Looks like it was replaced with alfred-workflows/workflows/agenda at main · rknightuk/alfred-workflows (github.com). It works after you set a default calendar and default reminders.

 

Though there are some issues (like creating a reminder with a time doesn't work). 

 

I created a list named backlog where I'll throw things to categorize later. It's not ideal as I like using specific dates, but it works.

@rknightuk sorry if it is meant to be obvious, but how do you set the default reminder list? I can't find the option. Thanks in advance!

[Wabiloo]

@bargepole You can set it in the variables of the workflow (top right, icon [x])

So I can say "r in 8 hours to do something" but minutes would be great too: "r in 8 hours 30 minutes to eat".
I know we can do explicit timestamps but this would be great when Im dealing with a countdown timer and don't want to calculate when exactly it'll finish.
