A Mac app

Hi! I'm a cat, and I'm going to live on the edge of your window.

Inside the window: all of Mellow — Plan, Grid, Assistant. Outside: me. I guard your focus, leap onto new posts and carry them to the Plan. The rest of the time I sleep. That matters too.

What I can do

Real cats mind their own business. I mind yours. In a cat's way.

I lie on the edge of the window

Along the top of the Mellow window. Move the window and I ride along. I never run off the screen — tested.

I guard your focus

Start a focus round and a little clock appears; I lie down next to it and stay until the timer is done. It's a job.

I leap onto a new post

You press “New publication” and I'm already on the sheet, peering over the edge at what you're writing.

I carry the post to the Plan

Saved a draft or set a time? I hop down with the card and put it in the Plan. With my paws.

The cat sitting with one paw raised and its eyes happily closed.

I'm glad when you are

A post goes out — I wave a paw. It doesn't — I look worried, and Mellow tells you exactly what happened.

I stay out of the way

Most of the day I sleep, wash and stretch. I never block a click. I only wander the screen if you tick the box.

Inside: all of Mellow. Outside: me.

This is not a cut-down version. The window holds the same Mellow you use in the browser. Sign in with the same account and your drafts, your schedule and your connected Instagram are already there.

Plan — the schedule and the drafts
Grid — how the profile will look once the post is out
Assistant — captions and ideas. You can also ask by clicking me, without opening the window
Focus — a button right in the sidebar

How to take me home

I arrive in a box. Cats love boxes.

Take me home

Ask the cat

The questions people ask me most. I answer honestly; it's the only way I know.

Are you free?

The app is — it's a free download. Inside is your Mellow account with its own plan, on the same terms as in the browser.

Do I need a separate account?

No. There is one Mellow: on the website, on the iPhone and on the Mac. One sign-in.

Won't you get in the way?

No. I never block a click on Mellow, I never leave the screen, and I sleep most of the time. If I'm still too much, one checkbox under “Your cat…” hides me altogether.

What permissions do you need?

Me — none. If you use something that needs one — a notification when a focus round ends, voice input, putting distracting windows away — macOS asks you separately, at that very moment.

Is there a Windows version?
