Sync Reminders to a File

Sync reminders to an org file for use outside of beorg

If you use Emacs and Org mode then you may find this extension useful. This extension creates an org file containing your Reminders (from the Reminders app). This allows you to see your Reminders in your Org mode agenda without any potentially complex setup in Emacs.

By default, last week's reminders, the reminders for the next three weeks and all undated reminders are included. This file should be treated as read-only, as it will be regenerated when needed by beorg.

You can customize how far back and forward beorg looks when deciding which reminders to include. In your init.org file set reminders-to-file-past-delta and reminders-to-file-future-delta as required. For example the following will have beorg include reminders for the past four weeks and the next eight weeks.

(set! reminders-to-file-past-delta -4)
(set! reminders-to-file-future-delta 8)

Once you've purchased this extension, or want to use it as part of beorg Premium, you need to turn on Sync Reminders to a file on the Settings tab.

To change the file which beorg creates, set Reminder file on the Settings tab.

beorg won't include any items from this file on the Agenda tab, otherwise you would see a reminder twice - once from your reminders, and once from the org file.
