Reminders MenuBar
Reminders MenuBar is a macOS menu bar app that lets you view, create, search, and manage Apple Reminders without opening the main Reminders app.
What is Reminders MenuBar?
Reminders MenuBar is a native macOS productivity app for working with Apple Reminders directly from the menu bar. It helps people who use reminders throughout the day check upcoming tasks, add new items quickly, and manage lists without switching into the full Reminders app window. The app keeps changes synced with Apple Reminders, so edits you make from the menu bar stay connected with your existing reminder lists and tags. It supports creating reminders with natural-language details, searching across reminders, and filtering by lists or tags for faster organization. Users can also complete reminders or adjust details such as due dates, priorities, recurrences, lists, and tags from the menu bar interface. Reminders MenuBar requires macOS 11 or later and is developed by Rafael Damasceno.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app needs permission to access your Reminders data, which is normal for its purpose because it reads and updates the same reminders you use in Apple Reminders. Its background menu bar behavior is also expected for a utility that stays available throughout the day. Use the Reminders privacy setting in macOS if you want to limit or revoke access later, and remember that removing the app only affects this menu bar interface, not the reminders stored in your Apple account.
Recommendation: Keep Reminders MenuBar if you want faster access to Apple Reminders from the menu bar or prefer quick entry during work. If you do not use menu bar reminder tools, you can remove it without affecting the built-in Reminders app beyond losing this extra interface.
