Is it possible for Hazel to monitor (and fire actions) based on new tasks being added to Reminders.app?

I don't think so. Hazel is really only made for watching files. I don't know how Reminders stores its data but it probably isn't a good idea to monitor its data files.

That makes sense. To be honest, I prefer an app that focuses on doing a task well than trying to do everything. Hazel FTW!

I did end up finding a way around this. It's involved, but was fun to figure it out:

Hazel still plays a critical role in it!
