What it does

Written by AI from the README

Adds a sidebar timeline for planning reading and research tasks stored as Zotero notes. It can add child task notes to items, repeat recurring tasks, and offers an AI assistant and an optional MCP server.

Zotero has no way to schedule reading. This puts to-dos on a timeline while keeping them as ordinary notes in your library.
