Claude remembers.
You get the ping.

Claude Code writes the reminder while you work. Your Mac notifies you on time, and one click brings the Claude session back with the prompt you left it.

Tickler window: a reminder with the live status of its merge request and Jira issue

# how it works

From "remind me" to resumed, in three steps

A Claude Code skill, a CLI and a menu bar app share one SQLite file. The CLI works with the app closed; the app picks up every change instantly.

Claude writes it

The skill tells Claude when a reminder is worth it, and saves the session, the links and the prompt to resume with. It offers follow-ups on its own.

New reminder sheet: 'tomorrow 10am' read as Tomorrow 10:00 AM — "tomorrow 10am" is a date

Your Mac pings you

At the time you set, or when the MR is merged, the pipeline turns green, or the ticket is done. Live status sits right in the reminder.

One click, back in

Resume focuses the Claude tab in WezTerm, Ghostty or iTerm2, or reopens it with claude --resume, and sends your prompt.
