Prompt to create a reminder in the Reminders app with options to set due date, priority, and select the target list.
Each line in the Draft will be considered as task (you can edit them in the prompt)
The “Due” date field supports natural language parsing of dates, so things like “2pm Friday”, or “next Wednesday” work for specifying due date.
If you find this useful and want to support me you can
Steps
-
script
let f = () => { // check if draft is empty if(draft.content.length == 0){ return 1; app.displayInfoMessage("draft is empty") } //get array of tasks (each line) let tasks = draft.content.split("\n"); // get lists let lists = ReminderList.getAllReminderLists(); let listNames = lists.map(x => x.title); let defaultList = ReminderList.default(); let defaultIndex = listNames.findIndex(x => x == defaultList.title); let createdRemCount = 0 for(task of tasks){ if(task == ""){ continue; } let p = Prompt.create(); p.title = "Create Reminder" p.message = "Select options for new task below."; p.addTextField("title", "Title", task, {}); p.addTextField("dueDate", "Due", "", { "placeholder": "optional date" }); p.addPicker("priority", "Priority", [["None", "Low", "Medium", "High"]], [0]); p.addTextView("notes", "Notes", "", {}); p.addPicker("list", "List", [listNames], [defaultIndex]); p.addButton("Create Reminder"); if (!p.show()) { return 1; app.displayInfoMessage("aborted by user") } let selectedListIndex = p.fieldValues["list"]; let list = lists[selectedListIndex]; let rem = list.createReminder(); rem.title = p.fieldValues["title"]; rem.notes = p.fieldValues["notes"]; let dStr = p.fieldValues["dueDate"]; if (dStr && dStr.length > 0) { rem.dueDate = Date.parse(dStr); } let priority = p.fieldValues["priority"]; if (priority == 1) { rem.priority = 9; } else if (priority == 2) { rem.priority = 5; } else if (priority == 3) { rem.priority = 1; } else { rem.priority = 0; } if (rem.update()) { console.log("Reminder created"); } else { console.log("Error creating reminder"); return -1; } createdRemCount++; } return createdRemCount; } let result = f(); switch (result) { case -1: context.fail(); break; case 0: context.cancel(); break; default: app.displaySuccessMessage("created " + result + " reminder(s)") }
