✅ RemindersBridge

Use your Apple Reminders inside ChatGPT — through your own Mac.

RemindersBridge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that lets ChatGPT work with your Apple Reminders. It never uploads your reminders to a third party — every action runs on your own Mac through a tiny local agent. The cloud piece is only a stateless relay that shuttles requests between ChatGPT and your Mac.

  ChatGPT  ──OAuth──►  RemindersBridge relay  ──job queue──►  apple-reminders-agent  ──►  Reminders.app
 (connector)          (Vercel, stateless)      (your Mac, polls & executes)        (on your Mac)

Your Mac is the only place your reminders are ever read or written. The relay stores only short-lived job payloads and your account record; it never sees a reminder unless a job is in flight, and jobs expire in seconds.

For users — 3 steps

1. Create your account at remindersbridge.vercel.app and generate a pairing code.

2. Install the Mac agent (needs Node 18+):

npx apple-reminders-agent pair <YOUR-CODE>   # link this Mac to your account
npx apple-reminders-agent install            # keep it running on every restart

The first time it touches Reminders, macOS asks "Terminal wants to control Reminders" — click OK (one time).

3. Connect ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → turn on Developer mode (Security & login) → Create a custom plugin → paste the MCP Server URL https://remindersbridge.vercel.app/mcp → Authentication OAuth → sign in & Allow.

That's it. In a new chat: "Search my Apple Reminders for the dentist appointment" or "Add oat milk to my Groceries list, due tomorrow."

Your Mac must be awake with the agent running. npx apple-reminders-agent install makes it start automatically at login and restart if it ever crashes.

Managing the agent

npx apple-reminders-agent status      # is it paired & reachable?
npx apple-reminders-agent logs        # recent activity
npx apple-reminders-agent uninstall   # stop auto-start

What ChatGPT can do

Tool	Action
`search`	Search reminders by keyword
`fetch`	Fetch full details of one reminder by id
`list_lists`	List all reminder lists with open (incomplete) counts
`list_reminders`	List reminders (optionally filter to one list, or include completed)
`get_reminder`	Read a reminder by id or name
`create_reminder`	Create a reminder (name, optional notes, due date, target list)
`complete_reminder`	Mark a reminder complete (or reopen it)
`update_reminder`	Edit a reminder's name, notes, or due date

Self-hosting

You can run your own relay so nothing depends on the hosted instance.

Prereqs: a Vercel account and a Supabase project (free tiers are fine).

Storage — in your Supabase project's SQL editor, run supabase/schema.sql. It creates a tiny Redis-shaped KV + queue surface (nb_* functions) with RLS on.
Deploy the server/ directory to Vercel.
Set env vars (see server/.env.example):
- SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY — your project + service-role key
- JWT_SECRET — openssl rand -hex 32
Verify: curl https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app/api/health → redisConfigured, redisOk, jwtSecretSet all true.
Point the agent at it: npx apple-reminders-agent pair <CODE> --server https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app.

How it works

Auth — OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591). ChatGPT registers itself, the user signs in on the RemindersBridge consent page, and ChatGPT gets a scoped MCP access token. JWTs are HMAC-signed; three kinds (session, agent, mcp) with distinct privileges. Optional email verification via Resend (RESEND_API_KEY); off unless configured, and enforcement is opt-in (REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION).
Relay — MCP tool call → job pushed to jobs:<user> (TTL ≤ the caller's wait window, so an abandoned job can't run late) → the Mac agent (holding a hanging long-poll) is handed the job within ~200ms, executes it, pushes the result → the MCP handler returns it. The long-poll means jobs are delivered on arrival rather than on a fixed interval, so relay overhead is ~300ms instead of ~1s. The agent is considered "online" only while it's actively connected.
Agent — a dependency-free Node CLI. Tools run via JXA (osascript -l JavaScript) against Reminders.app; arguments are passed as JSON over argv (never shell-interpolated). A macOS LaunchAgent keeps it alive across logins and crashes.

# agent unit tests
node --test agent/test-agent-unit.mjs

Security & privacy

Reminders are read/written only on your Mac. The relay never persists reminder content — job payloads live in Redis-shaped storage with a short TTL and are deleted on delivery.
The agent token is stored at ~/.remindersbridge-agent.json (mode 600).
No secrets are committed; see .gitignore and the .env.example files.
Write tools are marked destructive so ChatGPT asks before changing a reminder.
