The AI keeps my todos in a text file and sends me reminders

His AI runs on a server with Ollama as the backend, so his data stays private. It keeps his todos in a simple text file, sends him reminders about upcoming due dates, and gives him an overview when he asks in a Telegram chat.

How it works

  1. The AI runs on his local server with Ollama
  2. It organizes his todos in a simple text file
  3. It sends him reminders about upcoming due dates
  4. He asks in a Telegram chat when he wants an overview of his tasks

Why it’s worth knowing

His whole to-do system is a plain text file on a server at home. The agent keeps it in order and pings him before things are due.
