AI Assistant (BYOK)

Mindwtr includes an optional AI assistant to help clarify tasks, break them down, and review stale items. It is off by default and uses a bring-your-own-key (BYOK) model.

Privacy Model

• Local-first: Your data stays on your device.
• On-demand: Requests are only sent when you tap AI actions or enable Copilot suggestions.
• Scoped: The assistant only receives the task data it needs.

Supported Providers

• OpenAI
• Google Gemini
• Anthropic (Claude)

Configure in Settings → AI assistant:

• Enable/disable AI
• Provider
• Model
• Optional custom base URL (OpenAI-compatible)
• API key (stored locally only)
• Reasoning effort / thinking budget (provider-dependent)
• Optional “Enable thinking” toggle for Claude/Gemini (adds extended reasoning)

Local LLM (OpenAI-compatible)

Mindwtr stays lightweight by connecting to a local server instead of bundling a model.

1. Run a local OpenAI-compatible server (for example Ollama, LM Studio, LocalAI, or vLLM).
2. In Settings → AI assistant:
3. Set Provider to OpenAI
4. Set Custom base URL to your local endpoint base
5. Leave API key empty if your local server does not require auth
6. Keep your preferred model selected.

Common base URLs:

• Ollama: http://localhost:11434/v1
• LM Studio: http://localhost:1234/v1
• LocalAI / vLLM: http://localhost:8080/v1

Features

Clarify

Turn a vague task into a concrete next action with suggested contexts/tags.

Breakdown

Generate a short checklist of next steps for large tasks. You choose what to apply.

Review Analysis

During weekly review, the assistant can flag stale tasks and suggest actions like:

• Move to Someday/Maybe
• Archive
• Break down
• Keep

Copilot Suggestions

(Only available in Inbox and Focus views)

As you type, Mindwtr can suggest:

• Contexts
• Tags
• Time estimates

Copilot never applies changes without your approval.

Speech to Text

Transcribe voice notes into tasks.

• Offline (Whisper): Download a model (~75MB for Tiny, ~150MB for Base) to transcribe fully offline.
• Cloud (OpenAI/Gemini): Use your API key for high-accuracy transcription.
• Modes:
• Smart Parse: Extracts due dates, projects, and priorities from natural speech (e.g., "Buy milk tomorrow priority high").
• Transcript Only: Just the text.

Notes

• AI is optional — Mindwtr works fully without it.
• Responses are parsed as structured JSON; if parsing fails, no changes are applied.

Whisper language codes

If you use the Whisper offline model, you can set an explicit language code in Settings → AI Assistant → Audio language.
See the language list here: Whisper language list.
