AI assistant

Mindwtr includes optional AI features for people who want help clarifying tasks, summarizing notes, or working with their system through a language interface.

When to use this

Use AI features when they save effort after capture. Do not use them as a replacement for deciding what your commitments mean.

Good uses:

  • Turn a vague inbox item into a clearer next action
  • Summarize a long note
  • Suggest a project outline
  • Ask questions about your current task data

Privacy model

AI is opt-in. Core capture, task editing, GTD workflow, and sync do not require AI.

Provider choice matters

If you connect a remote AI provider, the content you send is handled by that provider. Use a local model or avoid AI features when task content is sensitive.

Setup checklist

  1. Choose a supported AI provider or local model path.
  2. Add credentials through the app settings or local environment supported by your platform.
  3. Test with non-sensitive sample data.
  4. Keep AI disabled for workflows where you do not want data sent outside the device.

Keep capture simple

Mindwtr intentionally keeps Inbox capture simple. AI is a power feature, not the main product pitch.

Mindwtr is free, open source, and local-first.
