Day-to-day, my responsibility for picking the kids up from school varies. I‘d like a reminder/automation/shortcut that does the following:

At 3:45 p.m. I get a notification on my Mac and iPhone that asks “are you picking up the kids today?”
If I click “n” then it stops.

If I click “y” than it sets an alarm/notification for 4:45 that says ”leave now”

Then, when I dismiss the 4:45 alarm/reminder, it runs a shortcut which I already have (it sends a text to my wife that says I’m on my way and, after a delay, shuts off the lights in my office).

Any ideas?

Have a look at Awaken. It has the ability to launch a file with your alarm:

I was interested in "Awaken" until I read reviews in the Mac App Store. It seems the developers have been dragging their feet now for several years.

I definitely recommend testing the app before buying.
