What they did
Want your agent's to-do list to show up in Apple Reminders? A Muse user built a small bridge on his always-on Mac mini that reads and writes Apple Reminders, plus a Muse hook that compares both lists every 15 minutes and syncs changes both ways without waking the agent. He's on the free plan and says it costs almost nothing. He texts Muse on WhatsApp and the item appears on his iPhone. Each Apple list is a category, and anything he dictates to Siri lands in an inbox list. It never deletes anything, and only messages him if something's off. He isn't a programmer and built it with coding agents.
How it went
Tasks you text your agent show up in Apple Reminders, and ticks sync back.
Worth knowing
- One Reddit post. It needs a Mac that's always on and permission for the script to access Reminders. A coding agent helped him build it.
