Reminders meet your vault
Ligature stitches Apple Reminders and your Markdown vault into one warm, focused daily view — and turns the things you finish into notes worth keeping.
Apple Reminders
tasks & due dates
Ligature
your daily feed
Markdown vault
notes & wikilinks
Unified Today feed
Reminders grouped into Today and This Evening, your most recent notes beside them, and a three-day calendar strip up top — so you always know what's next without leaving the app.
Quick-Add
Type "call the dentist tuesday at 9am #health" and watch it become a dated, tagged reminder. Natural-language dates, hashtag autocomplete, and drafts that wait for you.
Promote to Note
Complete a reminder and Ligature can write it straight into your vault as Markdown with frontmatter and tags, leaving a five-second undo in case you change your mind.
Real SwiftUI with sidebar navigation, keyboard shortcuts and native window chrome — plus six curated themes, three light and three dark. Never a web wrapper.
No. Obsidian is entirely optional. Ligature reads and writes plain Markdown files in a folder you choose — if that folder happens to be an Obsidian vault, wikilinks and tags light up. If not, you still get clean .md files you own forever.
Ligature talks to your real Reminders database through Apple's EventKit, the same system Siri and the Lock Screen use. Anything you add by voice, on your watch, or in the Reminders app shows up in Ligature — and anything you finish here syncs straight back.
In a folder on your Mac or iCloud Drive, as ordinary Markdown with YAML frontmatter. There is no proprietary database and no lock-in — open them in any editor, back them up however you like.
Everything stays on your devices. Reminders sync through your own iCloud account; notes sync through whatever you already use for your vault. Ligature has no servers and collects nothing.
Ligature is a native SwiftUI app for iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later, and for Mac on macOS 26 (Tahoe). It's a free download, and the same app works across all your devices.
