Reminders

[Eco]

Mm that's not a bad way to handle notes actually. I'll create a ticket on github for that.

As for Firefox, it doesn't respond well to applescript, so unfortunately not.

 

Thanks. Too bad about Firefox, but just to (again) state how much I love this script, I am in the process of switching to Safari as my default browser. I hate the tab management, but the ability to quickly add reminders means a lot!

Thank you for this!

Can someone help me understand why I'm able to create reminders for a certain date, but the time always remains 12am?

This will depend on your regional settings. If you're in the US you may need to specify am/pm for example.

Dear James and everybody else,

 

Thanks so much for sharing this workflow, it's very helpful!

 

I read all the pages of this thread but I couldn't find an answer, hence my post. I cannot get r in 2 days at 5pm to do something to work. To be more specific, the in and at parameters don't seem to work together in the same sentence.

 

r at 5pm works fine (so it's not an issue with my Region Settings):

 

 

However,  r in 2 days at 5pm returns this:

 

 

Could you please help me out?

Hey t87

 

I found the same thing but I just started either doing hours or using decimals of days. Here's two examples:

Hi!

 

That's clever but it's a litter counterintuitive to me given that I've to enter 50 - 100 to-dos everyday at work. Counting the number of hours or fraction relative to the current time isn't really something I'd like to do. The best solution would be if in and at worked together (unless I'm doing something wrong).

[roccitman]

Yeah, I only do around 5 per day so it works for me. You've reached the end of my tech support abilities on this workflow

[surrealroad]

The "in X days at Y time" pattern is not currently supported.

 

I've opened a ticket about this: https://github.com/surrealroad/alfred-reminders/issues/23

I'll see how feasible it would be to add this in, seems like it would be useful.

I'd be immensely grateful if you could please implement it, it'd be extremely helpful! :)

Thanks Jack James! Gotta admit, this is a slick addition. It's been fun being close to the evolution of this workflow.

Btw, are you a DJ in your spare time?

Haha no- but it seems like it'd be a good fit!

Many thanks, works perfectly now!

 

Two issues please:

 

1. Entering the time in 24h format has a bug. It always takes the current time. (Yes, 24h format is activated in my Language & Region settings).

 

2.  Is there a way to open the created to-do in the Reminders app by clicking on its notification which appears after it is created?

1. This is determined by the OS, I don't think just changing the time settings is enough unfortunately. I'm in the UK and 24h time format works fine with the extension. It's something to do with how Applescript interprets time strings, and writing my own interpreter as a workaround would be quite a big deal.

2. No, Alfred doesn't give this kind of possibility to extensions.

Hey Jack,

 

I am not able to use "r overdue" or "r refresh". Although, when I type "r help" it shows both the commands.

 

Please advice.

please see the note at the bottom of the very first post

[awaldraff]

i can not add any time based reminders. Apparently not supported, or so does the message say (see image)

 

 

any ideas?

you are missing the magic word "to"

r at 7am to do something

[douglance]

I don't have "osascript" in my Privacy settings. How would I get that in?

[surrealroad]

if it's not there, you probably don't need to worry about it

[nschurmann]

Hey Jack!, nice workflow . Do you know if there is a fix to the "write-only" feature? i would love to list my reminders in alfred, right now using yosemite 10.10 and migrating soon to "El Capitan".

Not unless Apple fixes the bug unfortunately. Which may happen once El Capitan is released, but I wouldn't hold my breath

I have a problem with this workflow after updatering to El Capitan. Adding a task ('r something') freezez the Reminders App for some minute, after showing that it has added the reminder. Oddly, it also seems to make Reminders unstable after adding a single reminder, to the point where I need to reboot El Capitan in order to get Reminders working smoothly again (!). 

 

As I've written before, this script is a key in my everyday workflow - thank you Jack for all your work with it!
