Remind is a macOS menu bar app. You add a reminder to a "Remind" list in the Reminders app, with the prompt in the body and a due time. At the due time, Remind opens your Terminal and runs `claude` with that prompt. A Stop hook writes the result back into the reminder's notes, so the Reminders app on your phone becomes the dashboard. I have one reminder that runs /feedback every weekday at 9am; a few minutes later the result is in my Reminders inbox.

Claude Code can do almost anything but it can't schedule itself locally on your Mac. Anthropic's `/schedule` runs scheduled remote agents in their cloud, which doesn't have your local files, your installed skills, or your terminal. Remind covers that case.

Some notes:

- Per-reminder frontmatter (`cwd`, `model`, `terminal`, `continue: true`) lets one reminder act as a long-running session. The Stop hook captures the session id back into the reminder's body, so the next fire `claude --resume`s that exact session.

- The "Remind" list lives on your default Reminders source (usually iCloud), so adding from your phone, watch, or another Mac all works.

Free, signed with a Developer ID, notarized, Sparkle-updates itself. macOS 15 or later. Requires the `claude` CLI on your $PATH.
