It cannot change anything until you allow it
Reading and changing are two separate switches. Changing is off when you start, and turning it on is a decision you make once, deliberately, in Settings.
AI access
Ask your assistant about your own plan.
ReminderMAP can let an AI assistant you already use work with your plan. It can look at what you have, tell you where things stand, and make changes when you ask.
You do not need to write anything or install anything. Connecting it is copying one block of text out of the app and pasting it into your assistant, and it takes about a minute.
01 / What for
Things you can just ask for
Plain questions, in your own words. These are the ones people reach for first.
Asking
- “What is due this week?”
- “What am I stuck on, and what is it waiting for?”
- “What did I actually finish last month?”
- “Show me everything under the Riverside project.”
- “Which parts of this have not moved in a fortnight?”
Changing
- “Mark the contract task as stuck, we are waiting on their legal team.”
- “Put these four tasks under the new client group.”
- “Start the migration work on Monday.”
- “Add a note that the vendor pushed the date again.”
02 / Setup
Connecting it
- 1
Turn it on in ReminderMAP
Open Settings and go to AI access. Turn it on. This starts a small connection point inside the app on your own Mac, and nothing else changes.
- 2
Copy the configuration
Press Copy configuration. What you get is a short explanation followed by a small block of settings. You do not have to understand it. The app has already filled in the details that are specific to your Mac.
- 3
Paste it into your assistant
Paste it wherever your assistant keeps its connections. Most apps have a settings screen for this, and some let you paste it straight into the conversation. Your assistant will then know what ReminderMAP is and what it may do, because the app explains itself on connection.
- 4
Decide whether it may make changes
Reading is all it can do until you say otherwise. There is a separate switch for allowing changes, and it stays off until you turn it on. Plenty of people leave it off and use the connection purely to ask questions.
For the curious, the block looks like this. The app fills in the port and the key for you, so what you copy will not look exactly like this.
{
"mcpServers": {
"remindermap": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:PORT/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR-KEY" }
}
}
}03 / Compatibility
Which assistants work
Any assistant that can connect to tools this way, which covers most of the well known ones and the number keeps growing. If your assistant has a settings screen mentioning connections, tools, or MCP, that is the place the configuration goes.
There is nothing ReminderMAP specific to install on either side. If your assistant can accept the block, it works.
If you already run MCP servers and want the technical picture instead, that is on the MCP page.
04 / Safety
What stops it going wrong
Letting something else touch your task list is a reasonable thing to be careful about, so the connection is deliberately held back.
It cannot delete anything, ever
There is no way for it to remove a task or a group. Not a warning, not a confirmation: the ability simply is not there. It also cannot rename a task, because the title is what you wrote.
A full backup before the first change
The first time it changes anything, ReminderMAP saves a complete copy of your planning data first, kept separately from your ordinary backups so a busy session cannot push them out.
Everything it does is visible and reversible
Each change is recorded in the task work log, marked as your assistant’s work, and comes back with a single undo, the same as anything you did by hand.
It cannot rewrite everything at once
One instruction cannot sweep through your whole library: a single batch is capped at fifty tasks. ReminderMAP also tells your assistant to describe a batch before running it, and to check with you before marking anything complete.
05 / Privacy
Where this leaves your data
The connection never leaves your Mac. It is not on your network and not on the internet, it only accepts requests from the same machine, and it carries a key that ReminderMAP generates locally. You can replace that key at any time in Settings.
ReminderMAP has no server, so nothing goes to us either. If the app is closed, there is nothing running at all.
One thing worth being clear about: your assistant is somebody else’s software. Whatever it reads from ReminderMAP may be sent to whoever makes it, under their privacy policy rather than ours. That is worth a look before you connect anything, and it is true of every tool you connect to an assistant.
The full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
06 / Troubleshooting
If it is not working
| Your assistant cannot find it | ReminderMAP has to be running. Nothing is listening when the app is closed. If you want it always available, set the app to open when you log in. |
|---|---|
| It worked yesterday and not today | Check that AI access is still switched on in Settings. If you replaced the key, your assistant is still holding the old one, so copy the configuration again. |
| It can read but not change anything | That is the separate switch for changes, which is off until you turn it on. |
| You want to cut it off | Turn AI access off in Settings, or quit the app. Either one ends it immediately. |
07 / Cost
What it costs
AI access is one of the three paid features, and it is all or nothing: with no subscription the connection does not start at all.
The reason there is no free version of it is that an assistant which can read your plan but never act on it is a demonstration rather than something you would use.
