rmdr

Quickly make reminders in the terminal. Reminders are displayed in all open terminals. For Linux and OSX.

Installation

npm install -g rmdr 

Basic usage

rmdr [me|clear|list|remove|help] [messsage] [options]

rmdr me get coffee -in 10min
rmdr me project is due -date jan 30 # same time on january 30th
rmdr me get lunch -time 12:30
rmdr me work out -every 7am
rmdr me do something -every friday -time 3pm
rmdr me do something -date tomorrow

How it works

Reminders are created using crontab, and the message is saved as a text file in ~/.rmdr. The crontab job displays the contents of the file, and, if it is not a repeating reminder (such as -every friday) the job and the file are deleted.

Custom messages and commands

Edit ~/.rmdr/config.json

{
  template: "rmdr: {message}\n", //the output reminder message
  cmd: ""                      	 //command run after the reminder is displayed
}

The following are valid placeholders: {message} {randomid} {minute} {hour} {dom} {month} {dow}. An example could be replacing template with rmdr: {message} at time {hour}:{minute}.
