📖 Usage

Adding a reminder

remcli add "Your task description" [options]

Options:

• -p, --priority: Priority level (high, medium, low) - default: medium

• -d, --due-date: Due date in YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MM-YYYY, or MM-DD-YYYY format

Examples:

remcli add "Buy groceries" -p high -d 2024-01-18
remcli add "Call mom" -p low
remcli add "Finish report" --due-date 20-01-2024 --priority high

Listing reminders

remcli list [--all]

Without --all: Shows only active reminders

With --all: Shows all reminders including completed ones

Completing a reminder

remcli complete <id>

Example:

remcli complete 3

Deleting a reminder

remcli delete <id>

Example:

remcli delete 2

Cleaning up completed reminders

remcli cleanup

This removes all completed reminders from your list.

🗂️ Data Storage

Your reminders are stored in ~/.config/rem_cli/reminders.json. This file is automatically created and managed by the application.

🔧 Configuration

The application uses a simple JSON file for storage. The default location can be changed by modifying the date_file parameter in the source code if needed.

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common issues

1. Command not found: Ensure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH

echo $PATH | grep /usr/local/bin

2. Permission denied:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/remcli

3. JSON decode error: If your reminders file gets corrupted, you can safely delete it at ~/.config/rem_cli/reminders.json and start fresh.

4. Date format not recognized: Use one of the supported formats: YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MM-YYYY, or MM-DD-YYYY.

🗑️ Uninstallation

To remove remcli from your system:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/remcli
rm -rf ~/.config/rem_cli/  # Optional: remove your reminder data
