Feature request: Support for Reminder sections (groups within lists) #42

Feature Request

What

Support for sections (groups within a list) in Apple Reminders. Since iOS 17 / macOS 14, Reminders supports creating named sections inside a list to visually organize reminders.

Why

When consolidating reminders into a single list (e.g., a project or person-specific list), sections are the natural way to organize them into categories. Without CLI support, users have to fall back to the GUI to manage sections, breaking their terminal workflow.

Proposed API

Listing sections:

remindctl list "My List" --sections   # show reminders grouped by section

Creating a section:

remindctl section add "My List" "Section Name"

Adding a reminder to a section:

remindctl add "Task title" --list "My List" --section "Section Name"

Moving a reminder to a section:

remindctl edit <id> --section "Section Name"

Context

The underlying EKReminderStore / EventKit API exposes sections via the EKReminderGroup class (or the newer Reminders framework in macOS 15). The data model is there — it's just not surfaced in the CLI yet.

Environment

  • remindctl 0.1.1 (Homebrew, steipete/tap)
  • macOS 15 (Sequoia)

Thanks for the great tool! 🙏
