history

Project history and usage

Remind is a mature, programmable calendar and alarm system for Unix-like environments. It reads textual reminder rules and supplies terminal, graphical, and print-oriented companion tools.

Project history

Dianne Skoll wrote and maintains Remind. Repository history reaches back to the 1990s, and the project has continued to receive releases and portability work decades later.

Adoption history

Remind has long been packaged across Unix-like systems, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, Nix, MacPorts, Homebrew, and Alpine. Its continued packaging reflects a durable niche among users who prefer plain-text, scriptable calendars.

How it is used

Store reminder rules traditionally in `$HOME/.reminders` and run `remind` to calculate upcoming events and alarms. Companion executables include `tkremind` for a graphical interface and `rem2ps` for calendar output.

Why package nerds care

Remind is a classic Unix power-user calendar: reminders are programs written in a compact date-expression language rather than rows in an opaque database. It rewards users who want recurring rules, computed dates, alarms, scripting, printable output, and version-controlled calendar files.

Timeline

  • 1990s: Early Remind development began
  • 2022: Official Salsa repository created as a public project mirror
  • 2024–2026: Active releases continued with documentation, localization, testing, and packaging updates

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for remind. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
