Export Reminders as a text list

Steps

1. Press “Connect” beside Reminders on Exporter’s home, then “Open Reminders Folder”, and press “Select This Folder”.
2. Choose where the files go, like ~/Documents/reminders, and press “Use This Folder”.
3. Leave every list ticked, or untick the ones you do not want.
4. Press “Sync Now”. Each list becomes one file, like groceries.md.
5. Open a list in TextEdit or any editor, print it, or paste it into a note or an email.

What you get

- [ ] Coffee beans [due:: 2026-09-16] [priority:: high] [↗](x-apple-reminderkit://REMCDReminder/1) ^rem-1
  - [ ] Grinder [↗](x-apple-reminderkit://REMCDReminder/2) ^rem-2

## Completed

- [x] Oat milk [↗](x-apple-reminderkit://REMCDReminder/3) ^rem-3

One file per list, a checkbox line per reminder, subtasks indented under their parent and completed reminders under a Completed heading. A list with sections gets a heading per section, in the list’s own order. Due dates, priority, notes and repeats sit on the line. Exporter rewrites a list within a minute of a change in Reminders.

Pitfalls

• The fields in brackets, the ↗ link and the id at the end of each line are there for Obsidian. A plain editor shows them as written.
• The export is one way: ticking a line in the file does not complete the reminder.
• Your first 100 reminders are free, newest first. The one-time unlock fills every list.

Every field is in the Reminders docs.
