remindctl add silently fails - reminder not persisted #19

Description

remindctl add reports success () but the reminder does not actually persist in Apple Reminders. This appears to be similar to the authorization issue described in #5.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run remindctl add with valid parameters (list name, title, due date)
  2. Command returns success indicator ()
  3. Run remindctl list <list-name> — the reminder does not appear
  4. Check Apple Reminders app — the reminder is not present

Expected Behavior

The reminder should be created and visible in both remindctl list output and the Apple Reminders app.

Actual Behavior

Command returns success but the reminder is not created. No error message is shown.

Workaround

Using AppleScript directly works reliably:

tell application "Reminders"
  tell list "ListName"
    make new reminder with properties {name:"...", due date:date "..."}
  end tell
end tell

Environment

  • remindctl v0.1.1 (Homebrew)
  • macOS Sonoma 14.x
  • Apple Reminders with iCloud sync enabled

Notes

This may share a root cause with #5 (authorization). The list command works correctly, suggesting read access is fine but write access silently fails.
