Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“What's overdue, and what's due today?”
The AI runs a Todoist filter for overdue and today and lists the tasks with priority and project.
“Add: call Anna tomorrow 3pm #Sales p1”
It uses quick add, so the date, project and priority are read from the line.
“Turn these meeting notes into tasks in the Website project.”
It creates one task per action point in that project, with due dates and assignees where you gave them.

Questions

What can the AI do in Todoist?

It can create, update, move, complete, reopen and delete tasks, and add comments and reminders. It can create and update projects, and create sections and labels. It can also list and filter tasks, see project collaborators, and read completed tasks and your productivity stats.

Does the AI see my Todoist API key?

No. You paste your Todoist API token into HeyMyApps once. It is encrypted at rest, never shown to the AI and never shown again after you save it. The AI only gets the results of the tools you have switched on.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can keep delete_task off. Risky actions like deleting a task can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector) and in Cursor.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You connect your own Todoist account, so anything Todoist charges is between you and Todoist.

Can the AI delete my tasks?

Only if delete_task is switched on, and that delete is permanent. The tool tells the AI to prefer completing a task unless you ask it to delete. If you want to be sure, leave delete_task off or require approval for it.
