Reminders MenuBar is a macOS menu bar application that provides quick access to Apple Reminders through the system menu bar.
The tool solves the problem of managing reminders without leaving your current workflow by embedding reminder functionality directly in the macOS menu bar. It syncs with Apple Reminders, allowing you to view, create, and edit reminders from a compact menu bar interface. The application uses natural language processing to parse due dates, lists, and tags when creating new reminders, and supports editing existing reminders to modify priorities, recurrences, and other properties. You can search across all reminders, filter by lists and tags, and customize the menu bar display to show an icon, counter, or the next upcoming reminder.
This tool suits macOS users who want lightweight, always-accessible reminder management without opening a separate application. It works best for people already using Apple Reminders and iCloud sync who prefer menu bar utilities over full applications. The project requires macOS Monterey or later and integrates with the system's native Reminders app through Apple's EventKit framework, ensuring your data stays within the Apple ecosystem.
Development activity shows consistent engagement with the project. The codebase is actively maintained with regular updates addressing user needs. The project welcomes community contributions and has established documentation for adding new language support, indicating an organized approach to expanding functionality. Localization support spans multiple languages, demonstrating attention to international users and ongoing translation contributions from the community.
