What a bloody mission: getting my Reminders out of Apple reminders and into Fastmail (so they sync to my new Android phone) preserving things like repetition and due dates/times.
Apple Reminders has no export so I had to use Fantastical on my old Mac to export them. Then I used a Ruby script to filter out the 3500 completed items. Finally I installed Thunderbird and hooked it up to my Fastmail accoint. I was then able to import the reminders and have them subsequently sync to my phone. 😤
