Claude Code can't schedule itself locally on your Mac, so I made Remind. Just add a reminder to the "Remind" list in Reminders with a due time and your prompt as the notes. Remind fires up your terminal at the due time and runs `claude` with the prompt. It writes the results right back into the Reminder.Some cool things:- The "Remind" list lives with your other Reminders, so adding from your phone or watch (or another Mac) just works.- Frontmatter in the Reminder lets it continue an existing Claude session. A Stop hook captures the session id, so the next time it runs it can pick up where the last left off.It's free, updates itself with Sparkle, and requires that you have `claude` on your $PATH running on macOS 15+.Remind has become sticky in my personal workflow so I thought I'd share it here. Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a straightforward macOS menu bar app that interfaces with Apple's Reminders API via EventKit or AppleScript to trigger local terminal commands on a schedule.
