Apple Reminders for Claude

Fast, native Apple Reminders access for Claude — works in Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code (CLI). One signed Swift/EventKit binary, three distribution packages.

Reminder IDs are stable across sessions. A full CRUD round-trip takes under a second on a database with 300+ reminders. Umlauts, accents, CJK characters and emoji pass through unchanged.

Published by high5 ventures GmbH — signed with Developer ID Application: high5 ventures GmbH and notarized by Apple.

Quick start

You need a Mac running macOS 11 or later, and Claude Desktop.

  1. Download apple-reminders.mcpb from the latest release.
  2. Double-click it. Claude Desktop opens an install dialog — click Install.
  3. Ask Claude something like "What's on my reminders for today?"

macOS asks for Reminders access on that first question. Allow it, and Claude can read and change your reminders.

No configuration is needed: the bundle contains the server and the signed binary, and Claude Desktop sets the paths on install.

Updating is the same three steps with the newer .mcpb.

Not using Claude Desktop? See Installation for Claude Code and other MCP clients.

Description

Apple Reminders for Claude gives Claude full CRUD access to your macOS Reminders app. It wraps Apple's native EventKit framework in a signed Swift binary that returns stable UUIDs and structured JSON, and ships three ways:

All three ship the same binary and the same 13 tools, so behaviour does not differ between them.

Features

  • 13 MCP tools covering the full reminder lifecycle: list lists, list reminders (open/completed/all), full-text search, today/overdue/scheduled smart queries, CRUD on individual reminders.
  • Native EventKit — not AppleScript, not reverse-engineered SQLite scraping.
  • Stable UUIDs — reminder IDs survive across sessions, unlike AppleScript URIs or CLI positional indexes.
  • Tool safety annotations — every tool declares readOnlyHint / destructiveHint so Claude clients can auto-run queries but prompt for mutations.
  • Language-neutral — the skill matches on intent, not keywords. Works identically in German, French, Spanish, Japanese, etc.
  • Speed — full CRUD smoke-test completes in under 1 s on 300+ reminders across 10 lists.
  • Signed + notarized — no Gatekeeper warnings; deployable via MDM.
  • 100% local — no network I/O. See PRIVACY.md.

Usage examples

In Claude Desktop and Cowork the tools appear under Apple Reminders; in Claude Code the skill loads when you mention reminders. The examples below show the tool calls behind each answer.

Example 1 — "What's on my plate today?"
