Prospective Memory

Phone-first capture. MCP pull. Not Takeout.

Dump a thought in a few seconds on Android. Later ask Grok/Claude: “what’s open?”
No notifications in v1. No geofence. No Google history.

Sibling of google-activity-assistant — same kind of MCP host, different store.

cd $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\prospective-memory
uv sync
uv run pmem token          # print X-PMEM-TOKEN for the phone
uv run pmem serve          # http://0.0.0.0:8790

Leave serve running. In another terminal / Grok, MCP serve-mcp is already wired if you add the config below.

Phone must reach this machine:

• Same Wi‑Fi: http://YOUR_LAN_IP:8790
• Out of house: Cloudflare Tunnel / Tailscale (see docs/V1.md)

Android

1. Open android/ in Android Studio (or gradlew.bat assembleDebug).
2. Set server URL + token on first launch (same token as pmem token).
3. Save URL + token. Add lingo lines (d=dahi lena).
4. Enable floating + tile (overlay permission) — tap + → type → Enter. Drag the + onto the bottom ✕ to hide it; Enable turns it back on.
5. Home screen widget (stretch wide for a type-here bar) or long-press app icon → Capture. Keyboard opens immediately.
6. Empty Enter repeats the last lingo chip. Toast shows category · text. Offline posts queue and flush when the network is back.
7. Optional Write (handwriting test) is in android/.../ink/. First open downloads an on-device model. Not on the bubble. Drop it via ink/REMOVE.txt.

Allow HTTP cleartext for LAN IPs (already in network security config).

MCP (Grok)

~/.grok/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.prospective_memory]
command = "C:\\Users\\bda99\\.local\\bin\\uv.exe"
args = [
  "run",
  "--directory",
  "C:\\Users\\bda99\\Desktop\\prospective-memory",
  "pmem",
  "serve-mcp",
]
enabled = true
startup_timeout_sec = 60

Ask: “list open tasks” / “anything grocery?” / “mark that dahi task done.”

CLI

uv run pmem capture "dahi lena"
uv run pmem list
uv run pmem stats
