I agree 100%. I ended up building myself a utility to wrangle my reminders (like keep them from getting missed/lost) instead of using a third-party app.

Can you describe that utility?
Yeah! I mean I published it on the app store, too. It does three core things: 1) Makes sure every reminder gets a date and time if it doesn't have one 2) Snowplows them ahead of you, so if you go on vacation they're still in the near future 3) Moves reminders out of the way if you accept or create a calendar event conflicting with it
It also preserves ordering when moving things (hence my snowplow approach).
Soon it'll summarize what you did that day so you can feel good about what you get done - that's coming shortly, I'm testing the feature for another few days.
There are a bunch of settings to tweak this - picking what reminder lists to include, setting a time window for when it'll reschedule things, etc.
This should link to it:

Nice try, Claude Code
Is that meant to be a joke? I've been on HN for over a decade. Closer to ELIZA's era than that of LLMs.
I'm curious because I'm also interested in hacking the Reminders app via its API, to add some features in a side app
If you try it out, I'm curious what you'd add! I'd be happy to make improvements.
