Structured reminders for agents that need to remember at the right time.
agentrem is a SQLite-backed CLI and MCP server for reminders with time, keyword, condition, session, heartbeat, recurrence, priority, and token-budget aware retrieval.
The public agentrem site explains the reminder CLI and MCP server, including install flow and agent-focused positioning.
Problem
Static notes and memory files can store reminders, but they do not wake up on time, trigger on conditions, or fit reminder recall into a bounded context window.
Story
What I built
A reminder system built for agents rather than humans alone: JSON-first, searchable, triggerable, and persistent.
It handles one-off reminders, recurring reminders, priority escalation, and agent-specific namespaces.
How it works
An agent adds reminders when the user says "remind me" or "next time", checks on session start, and can block with watch mode until something fires.
Triggered reminders can surface through CLI output, native notifications, hooks, or MCP.
What it proves
The output is a reliable follow-up queue that agents can query without scraping prose or overflowing the context window.
