3 years ago Hey Jacob! Great catch. I’m jealous of your M1 🙂 I’ll try to get to this soon.

It appears that taskwarrior-reminders uses a hard-coded path for the location of the task binary that is (for the moment) incompatible with the default installation directory for Homebrew-installed taskwarrior on M1 Apple Silicon machines.
The existing code https://github.com/blampe/taskwarrior-reminders/blob/master/Sources/Repositories/Taskwarrior.swift#L96 is hard-coded to /usr/local/bin/task. Since Homebrew/brew#9117 https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/9117, the suggested default installation directory for Homebrew is /opt/homebrew, which places task in /opt/homebrew/bin/task, rather than where this tool expects it.
This manifests in the process crash-looping:

Symbolic linking task into /usr/local/bin/task solves the immediate problem:
ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/task /usr/local/bin/task
It seems like this is a change that Homebrew is going to stick with, as they're preferring not to mix native arm64 executables with x86-64 executables, in the same directory, so there may need to be some degree of variation of this path to support M1 Silicon Macs.
