- `in 2 hours` → 2 hours from now
- `in 3 days` → 3 days from now at current time

### Time of Day Shortcuts
- `later today` / `later` / `this afternoon` → Today at 17:00
- `tonight` → Today at 20:00
- `tomorrow` → Tomorrow at 09:00

### Tomorrow with Specific Time
Format: `tomorrow at [time]`
- `tomorrow at 3pm` → Tomorrow at 15:00
- `tomorrow at 10:30am` → Tomorrow at 10:30
- `tomorrow at 8pm` → Tomorrow at 20:00

### Day of Week
Format: `next [weekday]` (lowercase required)
- `next monday` → Next Monday at 09:00
- `next friday` → Next Friday at 09:00
- `next sunday` → Next Sunday at 09:00

**Note:** Day names must be lowercase (monday, tuesday, etc.)

### ISO Format (fallback)

## Technical Details

- **Backend:** Uses `remindctl` command-line tool (macOS native)
- **Date Parsing:** BSD date utility (macOS compatible)
- **Time Format:** ISO 8601 timestamps for remindctl
- **List Filtering:** Shows only incomplete reminders by default
- **Sync:** All changes sync immediately to iCloud and all devices

## Requirements

- macOS (darwin)
- `remindctl` (installed at `/usr/local/bin/remindctl`)
- `date` (BSD version, macOS default)
- `python3` (for JSON parsing in list-reminders.sh)
- Apple Reminders.app

## Limitations

- Day of week parsing requires lowercase (e.g., "monday" not "Monday")
- "Next [weekday]" adds 7 days (doesn't calculate exact next occurrence)
- No support for recurring reminders
- No support for custom reminder lists (uses default "Reminders" list)
- No location-based reminders
