iCloud Reminders

Access and manage Apple iCloud Reminders via CloudKit API. Full CRUD with hierarchical subtask support.

Pure Go β€” no Python or pyicloud required. Authentication, 2FA, session management and CloudKit API calls are all implemented natively in Go.

Installation

Homebrew (Recommended)

bash
brew tap tarekbecker/tap
brew install icloud-reminders

Upgrade to the latest version:

bash
brew upgrade icloud-reminders

Setup

  1. Authenticate (interactive β€” required on first run):

    bash
    reminders auth
    

    Credentials are resolved in this order:

    1. ICLOUD_USERNAME / ICLOUD_PASSWORD environment variables
    2. ~/.config/icloud-reminders/credentials file (export KEY=value format)
    3. Interactive prompt (fallback)
  2. Session file (~/.config/icloud-reminders/session.json) is created automatically and reused. Run reminders auth again when the session expires.
