Reminders Geeklet

So on OS X you have the Reminders App and if you use it, this may be useful for you, it just shows the "Right now" and "Overdue" Reminders from today and Tomorrow,

Difficulty: Easy

This Geeklet contains 2 Scripts, an Applescript that grabs the Data from the Reminders App and passes them to the Ruby Script to proceed Output and Color Highlighting, and thats how it may look for you:

First of all here comes the Image if you want it to have:

Save the Image on your Mac and link it with an Image Geeklet first, oncee done, drag another Script Geeklet and in the Command Field write:

echo "Reminders"

this writes the Word Reminders on the Desktop,

than the first Part, the AppleScript:

my GetRemis()

on GetRemis()
 set cD to (current date)
 
 tell application "Reminders"
  --set output to name of reminders
  if (count of (reminders whose completed is false)) > 0 then
   set output to ""
   set todoList to id of reminders whose completed is false
   set array to my theSplit(todoList, ",")
   
   repeat with itemNum from 1 to ((count of (reminders whose completed is false)))
    try
     set idf to item itemNum of array
     set Remi to name of (reminders where id is idf)
     set remiT to due date of (reminders where id is idf) as date
     set tim to time string of remiT
     set dD to date string of remiT
     if remiT ≤ cD then
      log "OK"
      set tmpDate to short date string of (remiT)
      set val to (tim & " - " & Remi & " $$" & tmpDate & "/ENDE")
      set output to (output & val & return)
     else
      log "ERROR"
     end if
    on error errMsg number errNr
     log errNr
     log errMsg
    end try
   end repeat
  else
   set output to "No reminders available"
  end if
 end tell
 return output
end GetRemis

on theSplit(theString, theDelimiter)
 -- save delimiters to restore old settings
 set oldDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
 -- set delimiters to delimiter to be used
 set AppleScript's text item delimiters to theDelimiter
 -- create the array
 set theArray to every text item of theString
 -- restore the old setting
 set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiters
 -- return the result
 return theArray
end theSplit

Save this Applescript as reminders.scpt and remenber the Path!

Now head over to the Ruby Script:

require "date"
require 'time'

class String
  # colorization
  def colorize(color_code)
    "\e[#{color_code}m#{self}\e[0m"
  end
  def red
    colorize(31)
  end

  def green
    colorize(32)
  end

  def yellow
    colorize(33)
  end

  def pink
    colorize(35)
  end 
end

def remi
   res = `osascript /Users/atoxx/Desktop/Coding/reminders.scpt`
return res
end
def tom
   res = `osascript /Users/atoxx/Desktop/Coding/reminders_Tomorrow.scpt`
return res
end

def dd
 res = `osascript -e "current date"`
 return res 
end

tmp = remi

tmp2 = tmp.split("/ENDE")
eve = Array.new 
tim = Array.new 

for i in 0..tmp2.length-1
 tmp3 = tmp2[i].split("$$")
 eve.push tmp3[0]
 tim.push tmp3[1]
end

out = ""
puts "Today and Overdue"
for i in 0..eve.length-1
# begin
 tmp = eve[i].split(" ")
 timeS = tmp[0]
 nowT = Time.now.strftime("%I:%M:%S %z")
 now2 = nowT.split(" ")
if tim[i] != nil
 if Date.parse(tim[i]) < Date.today
  tmp = eve[i].split("-")
  res = ["25B6".hex].pack("U") + "  " + tmp[0].strip! + " - " + "\033[1m" + "\e[4m" + tmp[1].strip!.red + "\033[0m"
  #res = "\033[1m" + out.red + "\033[0m"
  puts res
 else
  res = ["25B6".hex].pack("U") + "  " + eve[i].strip!
  #res = tmp[0].strip! + " - " + tmp[1].strip!
  puts res
 end
end
# rescue 
# end
end

#Tomorrow-------------------------

tomo = tom
tomo2 = tomo.split("/ENDE")
eveT = Array.new 

for i in 0..tomo2.length-1
 tmp3 = tomo2[i].split("$$")
 eveT.push tmp3[0]
end
if eveT[0].length > 1
out = ""
puts "\nTomorrow"
for i in 0..eveT.length-1
 begin
 tmpT = eveT[i].split(" ")
  tmp2T = eveT[i].split("-")
  res = ["25B6".hex].pack("U") + "  " + tmp2T[0].strip! + " - " + "\033[1m" + "\e[4m" + tmp2T[1].strip! + "\033[0m"
  #res = "\033[1m" + out.red + "\033[0m"
  puts res
 rescue 
 end
end
end

Save this Script e.g. as "remi.rb"

Once you have your both Scripts, plz remeber to edit the Rub Script where it calls the Applescript to the correct File Path:

Check Code Line 31 for this issue!

The Right Now Reminders are white in this case, you can change the Color in the Font Settings , overdue Reminders are always in RED Color

After you did all the Stuff above, drag the last Script Geeklet onto Desktop and in the Command Line enter the Following:

ruby "Path/to/file/remi.rb"

Set the refresh time to whatever you need, i use an every 30 minutes refresh, so 60*30 is the Math

Plz note that every time this Script will trigger, the Reminders App will be launched by the Applescript, so best Practise is to have your Reminders App running all the time in the Dock
