Mellowdo

Help

Short answers for each part of Mellowdo. Stuck on something else? Get in touch.

Getting started

Add one thing you need to do with the + button. Give it a rough length if you like. Tap play and the timer fills while you do it, then tick it off. That’s the whole loop.

Start my day

Today lines up your routines and anything due. Tap Start my day and Focus walks you through it, one thing at a time. If nothing’s due, it suggests a few of your tasks; tap them in or leave them.

Focus and Pomodoro

Pick a task and tap play. Skip moves on, Done ticks it off. Auto moves you to the next thing when time’s up. Pomodoro (top of Focus) runs work and break rounds; Make your own sets the rhythm, scene and music. Hold the circle to change the scene.

Talk or type to Mellow

Tap the mic and say it, or tap Type instead. “Move bins to Friday”, “Plan my morning”, “Add milk to shopping”. Mellow asks before deleting anything big, and anything it does can be undone. You can report a reply that’s wrong under the answer.

Thoughts

A quick place to park an idea or worry that isn’t a job yet, so it stops buzzing. Turn it into a task or put it in a list later.

Routines and repeating tasks

Routines are steps you repeat, like Morning. Anything you set to repeat (daily, weekdays, weekly) lives in Routines too, and shows on Today on its day. Drag a card on Today to set your day order; it sticks. “Add a step for today” changes just today.

Lists, logs and notes

Lists hold tasks. Logs record things with a time, like feeds or weights. Notes are pages of text, checklists, pictures and videos. Share any of them; a person icon shows it’s shared.

Moving things

Hold a task (or right-click on a computer): Move to tomorrow, Move to today or Pick a day. Change list moves it to another list. On a computer, the Calendar lets you drag tasks between days.

Reminders

Turn on notifications in Settings. Dated tasks are named in the morning and evening nudges; tasks with a time remind you just before.

Your day starts at 4am

So a late night still counts as today, Mellowdo’s day turns over at 4am. Logs use the normal midnight day, so a 2am feed shows on the right date.

Use Mellowdo from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

Connect Mellowdo to your AI assistant and say things like “add these to my Mellowdo” or “what’s on today?”. In the assistant’s settings, add a custom connector (ChatGPT calls it an app) with this address: https://mcp.mellowdo.app/mcp. It opens Mellowdo to sign in and asks you to tap Allow. The assistant can then see and change your tasks, lists and thoughts, and nothing else. Changes show up in the app within a few seconds. To stop it, remove Mellowdo from the assistant’s connectors.

Backups, export and deleting your account

Settings → Back up saves everything (except note pictures) as a file. To delete your account, open Settings → Account → Delete account. Shared lists, logs and notes pass to the next person on them.
