Reminders 1.1 (a light version)

[Carlos-Sz]

Reminders

Goal

• Show overdue and due today reminders right away
• Easily show lists and their due, overdue and not completed reminders
• Create new reminders
• Create new lists
• Mark reminders as completed

This is a simple Reminders approach, with its own workflow, aimed for users that have only a few due or overdue reminders. If you are a havy user with tons of due, overdue or not completed reminders then you may consider using Jack James Reminders workflow that also caches reminders which can make things faster.

Usage

Bring Alfred and type the keyword rm and a list of overdue and due today items will be displayed:



Type a single interrogation point for a quick syntax help:



Type to create a new reminder in the default list (see date format options below):



Type a single hash sign to show all lists:



Once in a list you can see its reminders and also create a new one:



If you want, type a third hash sign to set the due date:



There are a lot of date formats accepted:

• tod or today (default)
• tom or tomorrow
• ne or next week
• 2m or 2 m or 2 minutes or in 2m or in 2 m or in 2 minutes
• 2h or 2 h or 2 hours or in 2h or in 2 h or in 2 hours
• 2d or 2 d or 2 days or in 2d or in 2 d or in 2 days
• 01/01 or 01/01/13 or 01-01 or 01-01-13
• 01/01 6:00pm or 01/01/13 6:00pm

You can always check if the date format entered is valid or not in Alfred subtitle:



Due soon: type rm due

Displays a list of due soon (in a week) and not completed reminders:



Mark a reminder as completed

• highlight a reminder
• hold control key (the reminder subtitle will change to Mark Reminder as Completed)
• hit return key

Open a reminder in Reminders app

• highlight a reminder
• hit return key

Thanks Carlos. Much prefer this reminder workflow. One question though. Can I just limit this to 1 list or set a default as I have 2 exchange accounts, but I only use 1 for reminders and I don't want to always have to set the correct list.

Cheers

Basically you type rm #MyList all the time, is that right? 

[nickwild]

yes that's right. Want to not have to specify the list

Double click rm Script Filter and edit the Keyword from rm to rm #My List #

 

 

Then, when you bring Alfred, type rm and as soon as Reminders item appears hit return key and your list should be displayed.

Many thanks Carlos.

 

Unfortunately this  doesn't work. when I do this it still enters into the first calendar in the list (Automator in my case) and when completed has the strange behaviour of reentering rm #automator into alfred

I’m sorry. I thought it was working here but I get the same result after all.

 

Right now you can set up a hotkey to load your list:

Perfect thanks Carlos.

 

Presume you can't combine some of the inputs i.e. tomorrow 10:00?

Great.

 

It is not possible. I may try more combinations after finishing the Evernote workflow update.
