At present 2.1 alpha does not have Reminders. Instead it has Ticklers. Unfortunately Ticklers are a lot more primitive than Reminders, eg with reminders you can do repeating events, monthly, day of week etc. You can see approaching reminders with a "number of days until" display. I am a big fan of Reminders. The reasons that I didn't include reminders so far are: a). Reminders are not strictly "GTD-like". b). I wanted to improve ticklers so they are more powerful and can do more of the things that Reminders can do now. c). Reminders are based on an old TiddlyWiki and could be much improved efficiency-wise by updating to use Tiddler fields. But I am reconsidering this as many 1.0 users are missing them including myself somewhat.
Also I have inherited custody of the
ReminderMacros from the author Jeremy Sheely. Long term I want to create a full scheduling/calendaring app for TiddlyWiki and then incorporate that into MonkeyGTD and use it for Ticklers. But in the short term I have no clear vision.
