Using Daily Agenda Printing

What Is Daily Agenda Printing?

Daily Agenda Printing connects ReminderPrint to your iPhone's Calendar and prints a formatted overview of your day's events at a time you choose. Instead of checking your phone, you get a physical printed agenda — useful for keeping on your desk, in your pocket, or anywhere you want a quick reference for the day ahead.

The print job is scheduled on your Raspberry Pi, so it prints reliably at the right time even if your phone is off or the app is closed.

Setting It Up

Step 1 — Open Printer Settings

Tap the printer status indicator in the top right of the main screen to open Printer settings.

Step 2 — Find Daily Calendar Printout

Scroll down to the Automations section and tap Daily Calendar Printout.

Step 3 — Enable Print My Day

Toggle Print My Day on. ReminderPrint will ask for permission to access your Calendar. Tap Allow to grant access.

If you accidentally tap Don't Allow, you can grant access later by going to Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars on your iPhone and enabling ReminderPrint.

Step 4 — Set Your Print Time

Choose the time you want your agenda to print each morning. Most people choose a time shortly before they start their day — for example 7:00 AM so it is ready when they sit down for breakfast or arrive at their desk.

Step 5 — Choose Your Calendars

Select which calendars to include in the printout. You can include as many or as few as you like. Only events from the selected calendars will appear on the printed agenda.

How It Works

When you open ReminderPrint (or it refreshes in the background), the app reads your selected calendars for the upcoming day, builds your agenda, and sends it to the print server with your chosen print time. The Pi holds onto the job and fires it at exactly the right time — no need for your phone to be on or the app to be open at that moment.

Each day's agenda replaces the previous one automatically, so you always get a fresh printout without any duplicates.

What Gets Printed

Your daily agenda receipt includes:

• The date at the top

• Each selected calendar listed as a section

• Every event with its time, title, location, and notes (where available)

• A clean divider between calendars

• "No events today" if your day is clear

Tips

Send the job the night before Opening the app the evening before ensures the next morning's agenda is already scheduled on the Pi, even if you don't open the app again before print time.

All-day events All-day events (like birthdays or public holidays) are included and shown without a time range.

Multiple calendars If you have work and personal calendars, you can include both. They will print as separate sections so it is easy to see at a glance what is work and what is personal.

Changing your print time Simply go back into Daily Calendar Printout settings, adjust the time, and the next time the app syncs the updated time will be sent to the server.

Troubleshooting

Agenda is not printing at the scheduled time

• Make sure the print server is running: sudo systemctl status printserver

• Open the app to trigger a fresh sync — this re-sends the scheduled job to the Pi

• Check the server logs to see if the job was received: sudo journalctl -u printserver -f

Calendar access was denied

Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars on your iPhone and enable access for ReminderPrint. Then return to the Daily Calendar Printout settings and toggle the feature off and on again to re-trigger the setup.

Events are missing from the printout

Check that the calendar containing the missing events is selected in the Daily Calendar Printout settings. Each calendar must be individually selected to be included.

Agenda printed but showed "No events today"

This means the app sent the job successfully but found no events in your selected calendars for that day. Check that the correct calendars are selected and that the events are in those calendars on your iPhone.
