I define this function in my .emacs:

(defun my-remember nil
  (progn (select-frame
          (make-frame '((name . "*Remember*") )))
         (raise-frame)
         (remember)))

And this additional code to close the frame if remember was opened in
its own frame:

(setq remember-all-handler-functions t)
(setq remember-handler-functions
      '(org-remember-handler
      (lambda nil
        (let* ((frame-names-alist (make-frame-names-alist))
               (frame (cdr (assoc "*Remember*" frame-names-alist))))
          (if frame
              (delete-frame frame t))))))
         
And use a script called 'remember' that runs:

emacsclient -n --eval '(my-remember)'

I've got quite a bit of other code to make emacsclient maximally
desktop-environment-friendly --- emacsclient always opening in new
frames, closing frames killing the associated buffer,
server-done closing the frame, a script to either start emacs or use
emacsclient as needed, running emacs with the initial frame unmapped,
letting you delete all visible frames, and a .desktop file that wraps
the aforementioned script.  One of these days I should package it all
up, but it's kind of all over the place.
