## 提醒：功能强大、可定制的日历与提醒系统 提醒是一个免费且开源的日历和闹钟程序，专为 Unix 和 Linux 系统设计。它提供强大的脚本语言，用于高级日程安排，智能处理例外情况和节假日。用户可以将日历输出为纯文本、PDF、PostScript 和 HTML 格式，并提供定时提醒和弹出式闹钟。 对于不希望使用脚本语言的用户，提供了一个用户友好的图形界面 (tkremind)。提醒支持格里高利历和希伯来历，并已本地化为 12 种语言。 最新版本（截至 2025 年 11 月 10 日为 06.02.01）需要从源代码编译。存在大量辅助程序和前端，扩展了提醒的功能——包括用于 iCalendar 转换的工具以及用 Python、Go 和 Bash 等语言构建的各种图形界面。提醒优先考虑用户对数据的控制，提供了一个“去 Google 化”的日历解决方案。

## 提醒：基于文本的日历应用讨论 一则Hacker News讨论围绕着“提醒”(Remind)，这是一个复杂的、基于文本的日历和闹钟程序，可以追溯到80年代。用户称赞其强大和灵活性，特别是其能够通过脚本定制通知（通过电子邮件、短信和家庭广播系统——通常使用Home Assistant等工具实现）。 一些用户分享了围绕“提醒”构建的复杂工作流程，通过bash脚本自动化事件的输入和检索。虽然承认其复杂性，但他们重视系统的互操作性和一旦配置完成的“设置一次，长期使用”的特性。 有人提出反对意见，质疑这类工具是否过于复杂，迎合了“极客”式的过度工程，而非用户友好性。然而，其他人则为基于文本工具的力量和多功能性辩护，认为它们提供了一种通用格式，并允许用户根据*他们*的工作流程定制软件，而不是反过来。这场讨论突出了个人组织工具中简单性和控制权之间的权衡。

De-Googling your Calendar

Remind is an integral part of my effort to avoid storing sensitive data on servers I don't control. Here is an article about how I de-Googled my Contacts and Calendar.

Intro Video

I made a (longish) Introduction to Remind video on YouTube. Best viewed in full-screen mode at 1920x1080 resolution.

Install Remind

What the heck do you do with a tar.gz file? Remind is designed to run on UNIX and Linux. As such, it's distributed as source code that you need to compile. If you are on a Linux or UNIX system, the build process is the usual:

tar xfz remind-06.02.01.tar.gz && cd remind-06.02.01 && ./configure && make && make test && sudo make install

Entirely painless. But do read the README file for other ways to build.

Use Remind

Like all good UNIX programs, Remind comes with a man page. To read the Remind manual, type this command:

    man remind

Of course, the man remind command will only work once you've actually installed Remind! And please be aware that the Remind manual is rather... full-featured. For a gentler introduction, you might want to watch the intro video or read the presentation slides I created a while back.

Public git Repository

We have a public git respository you can clone if you want to live on the bleeding edge:

The above repo is a mirror of the official git repo at https://git.skoll.ca/Skollsoft-Public/Remind

Unfortunately, because of abuse by AI scrapers, I've had to password-protect my git website. Log in as user notabot with password notabot.

Remind Helpers

  • Remind ships with four helper programs:
    • rem2ps generates PostScript calendars.
    • rem2pdf generates PDF, SVG, PostScript and Encapsulated PostScript calendars. It is a modern replacement for rem2ps and can handle UTF-8 input and Unicode rendering.
    • rem2html generates HTML calendars.
    • tkremind provides an X Window GUI for Remind.
  • Paul M. Foster has an HTML front/back-end written in PHP.
  • Daniel Graham has a wxPython front/back-end called wxRemind.
  • Mark Atwood has written rem2ics, a program to convert the output of Remind to RFC 2445 iCalendar format.
  • Martin Michel has a program called remmy that converts a subset of Remind scripting to iCalendar format. Although it handles only a subset of Remind's syntax, it does have the advantage of preserving repeating events faithfully.
  • Patrick Hof has ical2rem.rb, a Ruby script that goes the other way... it converts iCalendar format to Remind.
  • Justin Alcorn wrote ical2rem which is a Perl script to convert iCalendar format to Remind.
  • Richard Kelly has a syntax-highlighting file for the Kate text editor.
  • Wyrd is a curses-based front-end for Remind written in OCaml, originally written by Paul Pelzl and now maintained by Jochen Sprickerhof.
  • Jochen Sprickerhof also has a number of Remind helpers written in Python:
  • remindcal is another curses-based front-end for Remind. This one is by Sergio (realsirjoe) and is written in Go.
  • Mathieu Laparie has written remint, which is a simple text UI for Remind, written as a pure Bash script.
  • Joop Kiefte has a set of Remind files that implement the Baháʼí calendar.
  • Hong Wu has a Remind syntax highlighter for Microsoft Visual Studio. The source for this extension is on GitHub.
  • Judah Milgram maintains a Slackbuild (originally created by T3slider) for Remind. Slackware users with sbotools installed can easily install Remind by running: /usr/sbin/sboinstall remind

If you've written a program designed to work with Remind and would like it linked from this page, please email me.
