Hi Rafael! Nice app, really like it.

Have a little request, maybe you will consider to make it for future releases.

Is it possible to make an app's background more transparent like all menu bar apps have?

I mean this effect: PrintScreen

Hey

First of all, really like the app. Took me a while to find something like it.

Just a few things about the text field at the top of the menu bar app. Could it be:

1. Made bigger (it feels kinda "un native" in a way).
2. Have the focus border removed
3. Have the text area the whole text field (without the padding around the text field inside it)

And also, perhaps when i open the menu bar app, it auto focuses on the text field, so i can just start typing.

I guess like the Search in the Apple Reminders app:

This app is great! Any chance that the "smart lists" (i.e. Today, Scheduled, etc.) could be displayed?

With the reminder rename feature some new strings were added.

Wondering what are the constraining technologies/apis that require BigSur or later?

When a list has no items in it, things look a bit odd as there is just a random title there. It would be good to hide lists have have no tasks in them.

It would be great to be able to change the menubar icon. At least I would like to see some options, like SFSymbol list.bullet, list.bullet.rectangle, etc.

This is how Fantastical displays due date/time, along with an icon if the task is repeating or not.

Hi!
First of all, I would like to thank you for this fantastic app!
I would like to help this project by translating the app in Italian.
How can I contribute?

Hi folks,
I've kindly enjoyed Reminders Menu Bar, so here's a new app icon.
If you like it, feel free to use it.

Hi,

is there a way to set a date and time for a reminder? Can't find it. Thank you.

Regards

Mick

Hi @DamascenoRafael ,
It would be interesting to implement such a thing:

Never mind - rebooting solved the problem.

I just found this extension and it seems to be exactly what I need. However, I can't get it to show up in the menu bar. I installed using brew and also by directly downloading the 1.6.1 release.

I followed the Installation directions in the Readme so am not sure if this is a defect or a user error but didn't know if there's a user forum I could post so opening a defect for now just in case this is a real issue.

Some additional info:

Currently my mac doesn't have my apple account signed in, I want to get reminders from a different account. Can we have a sign in option to sign in to a different account.

It appears that Reminders Menu Bar is not requesting access to "Reminders" data from the "Security & Privacy" preference pane.

When I try to use the tool by clicking the icon in the menu bar, I receive and alert that access must be granted. However, Reminders Menu Bar does not appear in the Security and Privacy list of apps requesting access to Reminders data, for me to check the box and grant access.

This is on OS X 11.5.2 (Big Sur) and the latest version of Reminders Menu Bar v1.5.0.

Installation instructions were followed and the step to grant permission for an undefined developer was completed succesfully. Screen shots attached.

Hi @DamascenoRafael :

As you can see from the images, whether it is opaque or transparent, light or dark, the part where the arrow is is always transparent.

I would recommend making sure that the color is the same as the content and there is no such transparency.

Opaque:

Transparent:

Thank you for your work on this application!

Title pretty much sums it up.
It would be nice to have consistency between the Reminder.app and the listing in the menu bar.
Alternatively, alphabetical sorting (as currently implemented) or custom manual sorting could be provided.

Hello!

Fab app. Thanks! Just what I was looking for. I wonder if it would be possible to be able to independently choose the mode? I work in dark mode predominantly, but I like certain types of apps (certainly menubar apps) to be displayed in light mode. I just find it easier to differentiate with what I’m otherwise doing like that.

Thanks for the consideration! Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s not a preference for you! More a little cosmetic adjustment.

Cheers.

Miles.

Hey,
Is there a way you could add the option of changing the order of the reminder sub-categories? Rather than (from what I assume) being in alphabetic order.

Love the app
Cheers

After clicking the menu bar icon the application freezes and must be force quit.

Looking in Xcode 13 this line is flagged with the error:

Fatal error: No ObservableObject of type RemindersData found. A View.environmentObject(_:) for RemindersData may be missing as an ancestor of this view.

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide that would be helpful.

The good news is the app works, but for whatever reason on my m1 MacBook Air, its caused my desktop to stop showing files or allowing me to right click it at all.

I can still use the finder app to access things but for whatever reason my desktop is non responsive. Ive updated my software too and nothing. Only thing left to do is reset my MacBook...which means losing all my installed programs and files.

What a shame. really loved this too.

While it's nice to have the colours matching to the list, it is very hard to read some of them due to the background. For example "Family" is pretty hard to read.

Will there be a keyboard shortcut feature to open the app in the menubar?

The dropdown (bottom left) that filters lists is awesome, however it does not persist when the app is restarted.

These settings should be saved somewhere and persist across sessions.

When clicking the menu bar app, there is an animation. It makes it feel really slow compared to other menu bar apps i have. Can we remove it, or at least speed it up a lot?

Did you end up implementing this in #6? If so, it's not working.

Note: it's currently 11:41

Nothing happens when I try and open the app. Nothing in menu bar, no crash etc.

Anything I can do to help debug? Where can I check logs?

Would be awesome to have a shortcut to display the app, so syou do not have to move your cursor to the status bar every time

Have 3 states for ReminderMenuBar icon:

1: all reminders have no due-date (or all due-dates are in future)
2: (at least one) reminder is today
3: (at least one) reminder is overdue

Example:

state 1: show icon as is right now (optional coloured)

state 2: coloured orange badge

state 3: icon background blinking red

preferences

1. selector for user-specific colours for each state
2. toggle blinking for each state
3. slider to set blink-frequence for each state
4. for each state, option to select between:

• show full ReminderMenuBar icon background coloured
• or showing a coloured badge (with digit of today count)

PS: Thank you for this really useful MacOS extension!!!

Hi @DamascenoRafael ,

It would be very interesting to have also a widget style version, as a future feature.

It would be great if the software would offer a hotkey support which acts similar to a mouse click on the icon in the menu bar. This saves switching to the mouse and back if the hands are already on the keyboard.

I think it may be related to the menu bar auto hiding.
When I create a new item or check one it jumps to the other side of the screen.
Using Big Sur.

Hi, do I have to build this or do you have an executable for download? Thanks!

Any action from my side and filter settings are reset. Can you fix it please? Latest MacOS, MacBook Air M1

Right now it does not show the top level group in the filtering list, which makes it a little confusing.

Depending on what is available in SwiftUI, a fix for this could either be adding a "Group" to the dropdown of some sort, or failing that, just prefix the list with the group: "Group -> List" in the filter list.

With some changes to reminder filter options some new strings were added.

The strings that need to be translated are with the comment // TODO: translate at the end of the line:

🇨🇳 zh-Hans.lproj/Localizable.strings#L16-L17
🇮🇹 it.lproj/Localizable.strings#L16-L17
🇩🇪 de.lproj/Localizable.strings#L16-L17

Description about where these strings are used:
When no filter is selected the app will show a message indicating that there are no reminders to display and asking the user to change the settings. Below is the example in English:

Hello! Right now all my lists sort automatically by alphabet. Can I sort it manually? I want upcoming reminders be below filtered list. Thanks!

Instead (or as well as?) having the dropdown to select the task list you want to add a task to, it would be nice to be able to quickly just click next to each list. For example (using my amazing design skills):

I upgraded from 1.50 to 1.60 and the "show today count in menu bar" option no longer works for me. The count is never there, regardless of whether I have the option turned on or off. 😞

When typing in the input box, tried press cmd + a to select all the text and doesn't work, just makes a beep. This works however in any other input on a Mac.

Hopefully, it's specified in Apple's API 🤞

(right now lists are sorted alphabetically)

Additionally nice to have:
ability to change sorting of lists in the check-lists dropdown (left bottom button) by moving the title to another position

Preconditions:

• Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1
• Country Settings: Region Germany; Keyboard Layout German "Deutsch - Standard"
• Reminders 1.6.1 running
• have some Text in the clipboard

Steps:

• Open Reminders Menubar via Mouse
• Click into Entry Field
• Press Command-V to paste the text from the clipboard.

Expected Result:

• The text from the clipboard is pasted in the entry field

Observed Result:

• Nothing happens / no text is entered

Notes:

• It doesn't matter whether I have only one word or a long text in the clipboard. It does not matter how the text is formatted
• Rightklick into the text field and selecting "Einsetzen" (German for "Paste") from the rightclick-menu works as expected.

Hey there, this is a really cool app! Thanks for creating and sharing it!

Any chance there could be an option to show the number of reminders due today in the menubar? Todoist does this and I find it super helpful for knowing whether I still have something I need to do on a given day. Example:

It's really easy for me to glance up and see that there's still something (1 task) I need to do today. (If there are none then it doesn't show a number at all.)

Thanks for the consideration!

Add an option to sort by due date, instead of grouping by lists

Compare

with a different application

This doesn't happen when "Increase Contrast" is off.
