A little space to focus.

Mellow sits at the edge of your screen with one task and a timer. Stay with it, and something small grows.

One task. One timer. One flower.

Nothing to set up, nothing to manage. Mellow does one small thing and stays out of your way.

Name the one thing

Type what you’re working on, pick 15, 25 or 45 minutes, and start.

Work. It grows.

Mellow floats above your apps, small and quiet. Your companion grows a little with every quarter of the session.

Keep the flower

Finish the session and a flower joins today’s count. Take a five-minute break if you like — it never starts on its own.

Pick who keeps you company.

Seven small companions. Each one settles in while you focus and wakes up when you’re done.

  • Plant

    Grows, then blooms

  • Cat

    Naps, then wakes up

  • Candle

    Glows, then rests

  • Fox

    Dozes, then perks up

  • Coffee

    Steams, then cools

  • Moon

    Drifts on a cloud

  • Cactus

    Grows a pink bloom

Switch anytime in Settings or by right-clicking your companion. Your session keeps going.

Leave whenever you need to.

Ending early asks once, then lets you go. Your companion is fine, and the flower waits for the next session.

  • Nothing wilts, nothing dies
  • No streaks to lose
  • No alarms, just a soft chime at the end
