Reminders app on iMac not syncing

I rebuilt my iMac yesterday. Things appeared to go smoothly.


But today I noticed that my Reminders app is, well, not right.

Clicking "Add List" does nothing,


The dock icon has a badge:


Reminders on my iPad and iPhone are still correctly populated. There are no badges on their icons.


What can I do?


Thanks,


Jeff

I tried the obvious thing, namely, I went into Recovery and reinstalled the OS. As I've noted elsewhere, this is a somewhat more involved process than it used to be. After like six restarts, my desktop came back. No change in Reminders, tho.


I use Reminders mostly on my iPad and iPhone, and it seems to be OK there. So, if I don't resolve it, I'll hope for MacOS 26; apparently there's a whole new Reminders, maybe it'll fix whatever's going on.


I'm still open to suggestions.


Thanks,


Jeff
