I know how to use at. The issue is that at does not do what I want, at
least not with a convenient interface. You cannot see from a glance
at atq's output how much time remains until each event is to occur.
at would make a fine backend for a full-featured reminder tool, but it is
not one.

No status display. And don't say "ps".
And yes, I could write a script to do some of this. But a real UI would be
superior.
