I get this request a lot, but I'm reluctant to add a feature to Wyrd
that is already strongly supported by Remind itself.  Much of the time I
don't even have Wyrd running, and I can still receive notifications from

Looks like a nice setup.  Perhaps you could make a short writeup
somewhere in the Remind section of the 43 Folders wiki:
