Core concepts
Reminders
Each reminder has a text description, due date/time, and priority level (high, medium, low). Reminders live in a local SQLite database and persist across sessions.
AI suggestions
When you create a reminder, Remind's AI analyzes your input and suggests improved text, optimal timing, and appropriate priority. This is optional and can be disabled with --no-ai or in settings.
Notifications
The background scheduler monitors due reminders and delivers native OS notifications. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Plans & quotas
The CLI itself is free and unlimited. AI suggestions are metered by plan tier. See Pricing for details.
