Sync todos among Markdown, Mac Reminders and iPhone Reminders

(Telekasten is a Neovim (lua) plugin for working with a markdown zettelkasten / wiki and mixing it with a journal, based on telescope.nvim)

I use Macbook pro and iPhone, normally the todos in Reminders are synced between Mac/iPhone by iCloud.

However, I also create todos in Telekasten notes, such like take some notes while programming, think of something need to do, then I create todo in Telekasten notes directly. When I walk away from Macbook, I'd like to check todos on iPhone. or, maybe just have something to remember before sleeping, make one reminder in iPhone Reminders, then tomorrow morning when I come back to office, I could see it in Telekasten.

I wrote this script to sync todo items between Telekasten and Mac Reminders bidirectionally. so I am able to manage/check todos anywhere with MacBook or iPhone.

Pre-requisites:

1. Install reminder-cli from https://github.com/keith/reminders-cli
2. Create a list named as "Telekasten" in your Mac Reminders application
3. Of course, you need Telekasten installed and configured

Usage

synctoo.sh

Sync from Telekasten to Reminders

1. A Telakasten todo (for example, - [ ] something ) will be synced to Reminders as a new item.
2. when changed to - [x] somehing, it will be marked as done in Reminders

Sync from Reminders to Telekasten

Only todos in Reminders list named as "Telekasten" are synced.

newly createed todos will be synced to Telekasten, such as:

1. topic:abcd will be put into "topic.md" as - [ ] abcd
2. abcd (without list name) will be put into "Reminders.md" as - [ ] abcd

Attention: the first ':' of a Reminders item will always be used as separator between TK note name and todo text. so normally, you'd like to avoid have ':' in todo text
