icloud-reminders（icloud 提醒）

iCloud Reminders

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

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

Installation

Homebrew (Recommended)

brew tap tarekbecker/tap
brew install icloud-reminders

Upgrade to the latest version:

brew upgrade icloud-reminders

Setup

1. Authenticate (interactive — required on first run):

   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)

1. Session file (~/.config/icloud-reminders/session.json) is created automatically and reused. Run reminders auth again when the session expires.
