When we say "Mind Your Now," we mean mind your chores, mind your habits, and mind your time. Your favorite productivity app just got some serious upgrades that make managing all three way easier.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Mind Your Time, our advanced Pomodoro timer feature designed to help you achieve deep focus and boost your productivity. Whether you're working on complex projects, studying for exams, or simply trying to manage your daily tasks more effectively, Mind Your Time is here to help you work smarter, not harder.

Today, we're excited to announce two powerful features that put you in complete control of your data: Data Export and Account Deletion with Grace Period. These features reflect our deep commitment to user privacy, data ownership, and building trust with our community.

Remember when we launched Households with shared grocery lists? You loved it! And you told us what you wanted next: a way to manage household chores that doesn't feel like... well, a chore. Today, we're thrilled to introduce Household Chores — a fun, visual way to share the load and celebrate getting things done together! 🎉

Say Hello to Your New Chore Champions! 🏆​

We've completely reimagined how household chores work, making them visual, engaging, and dare we say... fun? Here's what makes our approach special:

The Super Hero View 🦸‍♀️​

Transform your household members into chore champions! Each person gets their own colorful column showing:

• Their assigned chores with fun emoji icons
• Star ratings for completed tasks ⭐
• A visual celebration of who's crushing it
• Real-time updates as chores get done

Smart Chore Management 🧠​

Creating and managing chores has never been easier:

• Quick Add with Emojis: Choose from 180+ pre-configured chore suggestions with matching emojis

Real-Time Collaboration 🔄​

Just like our grocery lists, chores sync instantly:

• Families: Turn cleaning into a game kids actually want to play
• Roommates: Fair distribution, clear accountability, no more passive-aggressive notes
• Couples: Share the mental load and celebrate wins together

Hey MYN family! 👋

We've been cooking up something special based on your feedback, and today we're thrilled to share it with you: Households — a new way to collaborate with the people who matter most in your daily life. And yes, that includes shared grocery lists! 🛒

What are Households? 🏡​

Households let you create a shared space with your family or roommates where everyone can stay in sync. Think of it as your productivity command center for the whole crew — whether that's your partner, kids, or the folks you share a roof with.

Here's what you can do right now:

• Create a household and invite up to 6 people
• Share a grocery list that updates in real-time for everyone
• Share premium benefits — when the household owner has premium, everyone gets it! 🎁
• Manage members with owner and member roles
• Stay private — your personal tasks remain yours alone

Shared Grocery Lists That Actually Work 📝​

Ever sent someone to the store only to get three texts asking "wait, what kind of milk?" We've all been there. Our shared grocery lists solve this:

• Real-time sync — add items and everyone sees them instantly
• Check off items as you shop (no more double-buys!)
• Smart categories to keep your list organized
• Quantity tracking so you know exactly how much to get
• Drag-and-drop to reorder items just the way you like

Getting Started is Easy 🚀​

1. Head to Settings → Household tab
2. Create your household (give it a fun name!)
3. Invite family or roommates by email
4. Start adding to your shared grocery list

That's it! Your invitees will get a friendly email to join, and you'll be collaborating in no time.

Premium Benefits for Everyone! 🌟​

Here's something special: when the household owner has a premium subscription, everyone in the household gets premium benefits too! That's right — one subscription covers your whole crew of up to 6 people. It's our way of making Mind Your Now more affordable for families and groups living together.

Privacy First 🔐​

We know sharing is caring, but privacy matters too. Here's how we've got your back:

• Your personal tasks stay personal — only grocery lists are shared (for now)
• You can only belong to one household at a time
• Clear owner/member roles keep things organized
• Leave anytime if your living situation changes

Still in Beta — More Coming Soon! 🚧​

This is just the beginning! We're actively polishing the experience and here's a sneak peek at what's next:

• Shared household tasks — delegate chores, coordinate schedules, and keep everyone accountable
• Task templates for recurring household duties
• Better mobile experience for shopping on the go
• More collaborative features based on your feedback

We Want Your Feedback! 💬​

Since this is a beta feature, your input is gold. Try it out with your household and let us know:

• What's working great?
• What could be smoother?
• What features would make household collaboration even better?

Drop us a line anytime — we're all ears!

Hey MYN family! 👋

Spring is in full swing and so is Mind Your Now. Over the past few months we have been heads-down polishing, tweaking, and super-charging your favorite productivity buddy. Today we’re finally ready to spill the beans on everything that’s new — all in plain language, no tech degree required.

Kaia levels-up 🧠​

Kaia, our built-in AI assistant, has been hitting the gym and it shows:

• Break it down, Kaia! Give Kaia one hefty to-do and she’ll split it into clear, manageable tasks in seconds.
• Auto-schedule magic. Kaia now finds the perfect slots in your calendar, so your day feels planned for you, not by you.
• Zone-smart advice. She understands Critical Now vs Opportunity Now (and the rest) better than ever, gently nudging tasks into the right place.
• Natural conversations. Talk to Kaia the way you’d text a friend — she’ll keep up.
• Quick task overview. Ask, “What am I missing today?” and Kaia will instantly list what’s on deck.

Calendar & Scheduling Glow-ups 📅​

Remember January’s big calendar overhaul? We didn’t stop there:

• Drag-and-drop everything. Grab any task and drop it right onto your calendar — done!
• Task locking. Pin must-do meetings so nothing accidentally bumps them.
• Real-time sync. Google and Microsoft calendar events now appear almost instantly thanks to our snazzy webhook integration.

Command Menu & UI polish 🎨​

Get things done without lifting your mouse:

• Press ⌘K / Ctrl+K to open the new Command Menu and jump anywhere lightning-fast.
• Cleaner tooltips, smoother animations, and a refined top bar keep everything feeling fresh.

Quality-of-life Goodies 📱✨​

• New Kick All Tasks button lets you punt a whole day’s list in one tap.
• Task lock toggles now stick reliably — locked means locked.
• Schedule button and zone colors pop with clearer visuals.
• Today’s Briefing appears lightning-fast, even on slow connections.

Connected 🔐​

• MCP support (Model Context Protocol) means your favorite LLMs — Claude, ChatGPT, you name it — can chat with Mind Your Now directly. Build automations, generate tasks, or just ask “What’s on my plate today?” and get an instant answer.

A peek ahead 🔮​

We’re exploring even smarter rescheduling, deeper habit-tracking, and more playful ways Kaia can keep you in flow. Stay tuned!

Your feedback fuels us. Try the new goodies and tell us what you think. Until next time — happy organizing! 🌟
