Privacy policy

Last updated 10 November 2026

Mellowdo is a focus app. This page says what it keeps, where, and how to remove it. Short version: no ads, no tracking, nothing sold.

What’s stored in your account

Your email address or Apple or Google sign-in ID, your name if you give it, and what you put in the app: tasks, lists, routines, thoughts, notes (including pictures), logs and focus history. It’s kept in a database hosted by Supabase in London, so it can sync between your devices. Other people can’t read it, except the lists, logs and notes you choose to share and the names of the people on them.

Talking to Mellow

Mellow is optional and asks before it’s switched on. On iPhone, speech is turned into text on your phone, and no recording is made or kept. On the web your browser does this, and browsers such as Chrome may send the audio to their maker to do it.

To work out a reply, we send the words you say or type to Anthropic’s Claude AI through our server on Cloudflare, with what Mellow needs to answer: the names of your tasks, lists, notes and routines, today’s plan, the last few entries in each log, and your last few messages to Mellow. Anthropic doesn’t use this to train its AI under the paid service we use, and our server doesn’t store it. Mellow speaks with your phone’s own voice, so its replies never leave your phone to be spoken.

Bug reports and reported replies

If you report a bug, we receive what you typed, your account ID, the app version, your device model and system version, and the screen you were on. Your tasks aren’t included. If you report a reply from Mellow, we also receive what you said and what Mellow answered. If you report shared content, we receive your report and which list it’s about.

YouTube

If you add a YouTube mix or video, it plays through YouTube’s own player, under Google’s terms. Unless you turn it off under Sound, we count that a mix was played, using a one-way code rather than your account, to show popular mixes once several people have played them.

Connecting an AI assistant

You can connect Mellowdo to an assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Only if you do, and only after you tap Allow, that assistant can read and change your tasks, lists and thoughts through our server on Cloudflare, which stores nothing. What the assistant’s maker does with what it reads is covered by their privacy policy, not ours. Remove Mellowdo from the assistant’s connectors to stop it.

Reminders

If you turn on notifications on the web, the times and wording of your upcoming reminders are kept by our reminder service on Cloudflare until they’re sent. On iPhone, reminders are scheduled on your phone.

App blocking

If you choose apps to block during Focus, Apple keeps your choices private. Mellowdo never sees which apps they are.

What we don’t do

No ads, no tracking across other apps or websites, no selling or sharing your data with data brokers.

Who processes your data

Supabase (database and sign-in, London), Cloudflare (website, AI relay, reminders and bug reports), Anthropic (Mellow’s AI, only if you use it), Resend (sign-in emails), and Apple and Google if you sign in with them.

Your rights and deleting your data

In the app, open Settings → Account → Delete account. That removes your account and what’s stored in it, including your pictures, our records of your usage and bug reports, and your Sign in with Apple link. Lists, logs and notes you shared pass to the next person on them. You can also export everything with Settings → Back up. For anything else, including access or correction requests under UK GDPR, email [email protected].

Children

Mellowdo isn’t made for children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we’ll say so in the app.
