remind

remind is a small perl script to help you remember things. It works by editing and reading files in ~/remember.

To remember something, add the item to a category by running:

remind reply-to 'Samuel Baldwin'

Which will append a line containing 'Samuel Baldwin' to ~/remember/reply-to.

To remind yourself of what you need to remember, simply run remind with no arguments:

remind

And remind will print out the contents of all the files in ~/remember with each file labled and the lines numbered.

To remind yourself of what you need to remember in a specific category, pass the category/filename to remind:

remind reply-to

And remind will print out a list of what you need to reply to with the lines numbered.

Currently there is no way to remove an item from the list with remind, but that may be fixed. By using simple plain text files, it is easy to integrate this system with other scripts and programs; the idea is to make it as simple as possible. (Earlier versions merely consisted of a zsh alias.)
