The definitive reference is Remind's manpage. You can probably access it on your system by executing man remind at the terminal, or just look it up online.

Remind can handle rather complicated recurring reminders, which are beyond the capability of most calendar applications. Remind can interact well with other programs. You can quickly add reminders from the terminal, with Quicksilver, or with a homebrewed Python script; you can schedule applications to execute through Remind; you can display Remind's output through an external application, or even read off your reminders with a text-to-speech program.

TkRemind is a GUI frontend that ships with Remind. Its point-and-click interface is quite easy to use, but also hides some of Remind's power from the user. Wyrd is a frontend for the terminal. It integrates with an editor of your choice, making it faster and easier to enter and edit reminders. Wyrd is probably a good choice for power users, as it is highly configurable and does not conceal any of Remind's functionality.

For X Window desktops, the standard application would be xmessage. GNOME or KDE users may prefer gxmessage or kmessage, respectively.

In addition, Remind packages are available for most popular GNU/Linux and BSD distributions. An OS X package may be obtained through Fink or DarwinPorts.

You can use this iCal to Remind script. The recommended way to use this script is to include a secondary file in ~/.reminders: INCLUDE /your/home/directory/.ical2rem Then you can use cron to build the included file periodically, with a cron table entry like this: 0-59/15 * * * * local/bin/ical2rem.pl > ~/.ical2rem This is a good way to also get reminders from your Google calendar when you are off-line and without a browser open.

See also the totodo.sh script, which takes the output items of Remind's rem -q command and converts it to iCal to-do items.

Paul Pelzl has a description of his Remind usage, focusing on Wyrd and generating alarm popup windows. Phil Snowberger talks about his custom Remind alarm system, which uses a Screen session running under the Ion window manager.

The documentation provided by Fluent is actually quite good, so it is a very good place to start. Fluent also provides tutorials and documentation on the fluentusers site, which is open to everyone with a (full) license. Without a full commercial license, it is possible to use the tutorials given at studentfluent, or you may be able to register to use the user services center through other channels (e.g. through the university program). There are also some good tutorials available at Cornell.

There are not to many tutorials out there on this, probably due to the wide variety of things you can do with the UDF interface. The documentation the Fluent provides is pretty good once you know what you are trying to do (chapter 8 of the UDF manual has examples). UDF programming is easier if you have C programming experience, so it is advisable to learn a little C programming, then do some of the simple cases that Fluent provides, then tackle the problem you really want to solve.

Normally, the Alarm Clock is set up to ensure that you never miss an alarm. However, if you miss an eBay auction reminder you probably don't want to see it later. This is how to reconfigure the Alarm Clock: Turn on "If an alarm is set to be deleted after its last ring, and its last ring is missed, delete it anyway" Now, when you add an alarm, it will be set to ring only if you're logged on and your computer isn't on standby.
