Cuebird

Mention a deadline once. Get reminded on your iPhone, guaranteed.

Cuebird makes Claude Code deadline-aware in every project. When a concrete deadline surfaces in conversation — yours, or a checkpoint Claude itself plans — Claude offers once to set a reminder. Say yes, and it lands in Apple Reminders, syncs to your iPhone over iCloud within seconds, and fires locally on the phone at the right moment — whether your Mac is on, Claude Code is running, or this plugin is even still installed.

Looking for the Codex edition? Use Cuebird CX.

Why Cuebird

• Survives the session: reminders fire on your Apple devices even when the Mac is off and Claude Code is closed.
• Verified delivery path: Cuebird reads every new reminder back before reporting success.
• Context comes back: mention нагадування: <key> later and Claude can restore the saved project context and next steps.
• Consent first: it offers once and creates a reminder only after you agree.
• Local by design: no account, token, configuration file, telemetry, or hosted service.

Requirements

• macOS with the Reminders app signed into iCloud
• An iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch on that same iCloud account
• Claude Code with plugin and hook support

First use is the setup. There is no account to create, token to copy, or configuration file to edit.

Install

/plugin marketplace add mtvchk/cuebird
/plugin install cuebird@cuebird

The first time you accept a reminder, macOS asks once for permission to control Reminders. No further configuration is required.

How it works

1. The session hook tells Claude to notice actionable future checkpoints.
2. Claude offers one meaningful reminder when a deadline surfaces.
3. You accept it or adjust the date in the same reply.
4. Cuebird creates the reminder with osascript and reads it back to confirm it exists.
5. iCloud syncs the reminder to your other Apple devices, typically within seconds.
6. Your iPhone shows the notification locally, even if your Mac is off.
7. Later, mention нагадування: <key> in any session to restore the saved work context.

Commands

• cuebird:remind — create a reminder explicitly, such as "remind me August 3rd about the release."
• cuebird:reminders — review and manage active, declined, deferred, and completed decisions; every state is reversible.
• cuebird:resume — restore the work context for a fired reminder.
• cuebird:doctor — run seven end-to-end diagnostics, including an on-demand update check.

Privacy

• No telemetry, analytics, or automatic network calls.
• Reminder content lives in Apple Reminders under Apple's iCloud rules and in a local journal under ~/.claude/cuebird/.
• The only network call is cuebird:doctor's explicit update check against the public GitHub Releases API.

Troubleshooting

Run cuebird:doctor first. It checks seven things end to end and names the specific fix when something is wrong.

• "macOS denied access to Reminders." Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation, enable Reminders for your terminal or Claude, then retry.
• "Reminders will only be created on this Mac." Go to System Settings → Apple ID → iCloud and enable Reminders.
