Reminder (rm for remind me…)

The RemindMe Plugin enables users to set reminders effortlessly by typing a date and/or time in natural language followed by a task. This intuitive yet minimalistic plugin simplifies task management, ensuring you never miss anything important.

Setting Reminders

To set a reminder using this plugin, start by specifying the date and time for the reminder using keywords such as “in,” “on,” and “at.” Follow this with the task you want to be reminded of. You can also choose to separate the time and task with the word “to” for clarity. If you don’t specify a time, the reminder will notify you at the next startup of the app. When reminders appear, you can choose to snooze them until the next startup or for a specific number of minutes as defined in the settings.

Windows

Reminders include a GIF to catch your attention. You can customize this by providing your own GIF as ~/.smartclip/plugins/rm/reminder.gif (.smartclip is usually in your home folder).

Linux

Reminders won’t get automatically snoozed when ignoring the notification, instead they will be removed after they pop up. To snooze the reminders, manually do so via the notification actions.
