Your agentic AI companion for stress-free life management
Moms, whether you believe it or not, you do it all.
No wonder you are burnt out and stressed out.
You are the glue that keeps the household running smoothly
You do everything to keep your family happy and all their boxes checked
You make magic happen every day even if it means more work for you
You give it your all even on days when you have nothing left to give
You’re a superhero.
But you’re also human(ish).
You need help. Real help.
Not the kind where you become
the household project manager
delegating tasks and writing
instruction manuals for your life
That’s why we built MentalLoad.
Your hyper-personalized agentic AI companion for stress-free life management
What is MentalLoad?
MentalLoad is the AI companion that finally gets it.
It's built for the person who remembers everything, coordinates everyone, and keeps life running—often invisibly. MentalLoad doesn't just manage tasks; it manages the mental load itself. It steps in as your advocate, working directly with your partner, family, and support network so you're not stuck being the household project manager.
No more "where are her shoes?" texts. No more writing instruction manuals. No more being the only one who knows how everything works.
MeLo learns your rhythms, anticipates your needs, and handles the coordination—from soccer practices to meal planning to family trips. It makes the invisible work visible and ensures you get real support without adding to your stress.
MentalLoad isn't task management. It's life management for people who've been carrying too much for too long.
How does it work?
Repetitive Routines
It gets that soccer practice is always during work hours. When your partner steps in for you, it guides them through everything from pre-departure potty breaks to packing this week's favorite snack (not the Costco bulk buy collecting dust). No more instruction essays. Just tell it that class is at 4:00 p.m. on Thursdays, and it will take care of the rest.
Meal Planning
It learns your dietary preferences and kids' finickiness. It takes what you have in the fridge and delivers a weekly meal plan with reminders for prep time. It gets that you need a 20-minute, one-pot meal with hidden veggies for your little one, and leftovers for school lunch the next day. Rock your dinner parties effortlessly. No more “ewww that’s yucky!” comments.
Event Organization
It gets that the way you smash birthday party planning is inimitable. But don't sweat it when your non-party-planning-whiz partner takes over while you tackle that demanding work project. It walks him step-by-step through everything, breaks it into manageable chunks, adds them to his calendar, and makes recommendations on budget, food, and themes. Same fun parties. Way less cognitive burden on you. No lists.
Holiday Gifting
It knows that it isn't easy to shop for holiday gifts for your whole family, parents, work friends, second cousins, and the neighbor's cat. It lets you just tell it whom you're shopping for, and it figures out what they'll love. Gifts are done easily. Brain power is preserved. Warning: it might remind you to get something for yourself too, so you don’t deprioritize yourself.
Travel Planning
It realizes that planning a winter holiday for a family of five doesn't happen at the wave of a wand. It recalls your family's interests, sets a budget collaboratively, figures out who tackles which aspect of decision-making, and lovingly prods you both in the weeks leading up. Now you actually get to enjoy the holiday. Novel idea, huh?
… and much more!

Why we get it right.
It’s a hyper-personalized app.
MentalLoad learns your family. Your preferences. Your rhythm. The way you do things—just with less stress on you. And it remembers, and recalls.
Don't settle for one-size-fits-all. Your life is unique. Your support should be too. This isn't task management. It's life management. Built to reduce your daily stress in a way that actually works for you.
We’ve been there. In fact, we are there.
We're parents too. We feel the weight of the invisible work—the mental load that keeps everything running but that no one sees.
MentalLoad makes that invisible work visible. And gets you the support you deserve. Built by parents, for parents. Especially for moms carrying the cognitive load of keeping it all together.
We use what we build. So we’ll do everything we can to get it right.

MentalLoad is the AI companion that turns your invisible work into visible action. Instead of you managing everyone else, MentalLoad does the project management for you. Unlike typical apps that just track tasks, MentalLoad takes action—delegating to your partner, breaking down complex work into steps, and proactively handling what's stressing you out. Say "Hey MeLo" and watch your mental load actually lighten. Finally, an app that works as hard as you do.

MentalLoad takes things off your plate in four steps:
Capture: Tell MeLo what's on your mind—speak, type, or share a photo. Whether it's "plan the birthday party" or "book a vet appointment," MeLo records it so you don't have to remember.
Delegate: MeLo breaks down the task into clear steps and assigns it to the right person in your support network (partner, nanny, parents). Instead of you explaining everything, MeLo guides them through it.
Follow through: MeLo tracks progress and ensures it gets done—no more "did you remember to..." texts from you.
Anticipate: MeLo learns about you and your family, and anticipates your needs along the way. Planning a beach holiday? It will remind you to buy the right size of swim clothes for your kids ahead of time. Or perhaps it’s your partner’s birthday during your travel dates. It can proactively bring it up with you, and suggest fun ways to celebrate.
The more you use it, the smarter MeLo gets. It learns your preferences, anticipates your needs, and proactively lightens your mental load. It's AI that actually works for you, not just another app to manage.

MentalLoad is the app. MeLo is your AI companion that lives inside it.
Think of MentalLoad as the platform and MeLo (the owl) as your always-available partner who makes everything work. Feeling overwhelmed? Tap MeLo. Need to offload a task? Talk to MeLo. Can't remember if someone booked the dentist? Ask MeLo.
MeLo is the one who listens, learns, delegates, and follows through—so you can finally stop carrying everything in your head. The owl isn't just a mascot; it's the AI doing the actual work to lighten your load.

MeLo works best when it knows your world—but you're always in control of what you share.
The more context MeLo has, the more helpful it becomes. For example:
Dietary preferences → MeLo plans weeknight dinners and school lunches your family will actually eat
Kids' interests → MeLo suggests birthday party ideas they'll love, not generic Pinterest boards
Work location and schedule → MeLo calculates when you need to leave to get kids from school to soccer on time
Your support network → MeLo knows who to delegate tasks to (partner, nanny, parents) and how to communicate with them
You only share what feels comfortable. Skip the dietary preferences? No problem—MeLo will still help with planning, just with fewer personalized suggestions. The key benefit: the information you provide eliminates the thinking and decision-making that drains you daily.
MeLo uses your information solely to reduce your mental load—never to sell, never to spam. It's like having a trusted assistant who actually knows your life, so you don't have to explain everything from scratch every single time.

It needs to know you, and learn your rhythm. You rock everything you need to do. It’ll get there very quickly, but only as you introduce it to the complexities of your life. That’s why when you say “figure out the day’s schedule for my daughter’s ballet recital”, it will ask for your address and the theater’s. So that it can do the mom math on your behalf from the time at which to wake up, to getting your daughter in her tutu with hair & makeup done, having a photo shoot at home, to allowing time for parking, before entering the theater in a relaxed way.
Share what you’re comfortable with. It will make assumptions if you’re not yet ready to share. Based on your responses, it will learn what you do and don’t like. -
Your privacy is non-negotiable, and you stay in complete control of your data.
MentalLoad is built on Google Cloud Platform and powered by Gemini AI—enterprise-grade infrastructure trusted by organizations worldwide for their rigorous privacy and security standards. These same protections apply to how we handle your information.
Here's what that means for you:
Your data is yours. We never sell, share, or use your information for anything beyond helping you reduce your mental load.
You control what you share. You decide what information MeLo has access to, and you can update or delete it anytime.
Transparent practices. We're committed to clear communication about how your data is used—no fine print surprises.

Short answer: Soon.
You see, things created in MentalLoad are visible to everyone in the family account. So invite a nanny or anyone outside your household only if you’re comfortable exposing other things you may have there such as your workout routine or financial planning.
As you’re reading this, we are building the capability for having several ‘circles’ of people. We’ll share that soon.
For the time being, we recommend using it within the household.

MentalLoad is a personalized app. So, you do you. As a thought starter, here are a few ways others are reclaiming their sanity.
Scheduling kids’ activities. Tell MeLo "soccer practice at 4pm" and watch it build the entire playbook: when to leave school, potty break reminder, what goes in the bag, which snack they're currently obsessed with. Not driving them yourself? MeLo creates a step-by-step guide for whoever is—so you're not texting instructions from three meetings away.
Making a meal plan week-after-week. Tired of the ‘what’s for dinner’ question? Not anymore. Just give MeLo your preference - “I want a high protein, low carb vegan dinner without nuts that can be made in one pot within 20 mins” - and see how it takes your and your family’s preferences into account to create a meal plan that your family will actually eat. Bonus: It even adds ingredients to your grocery list, so your brain can focus on literally anything else.
Planning a birthday party. You’re the master planner, but work exploded, and your non-party-planner partner needs to step in? No biggie. MeLo will hold their hand through decisions on the theme, party favors, food, cake, balloons, entertainment, and everything in between to ensure that your little one has an epic birthday, and neither you nor your partner would have broken a sweat.
Other use cases -
Schedule your yoga class guilt-free (yes, really)
Snap a photo of a street flyer → MeLo adds it to your calendar with all the details
Dump your 2am worries into MeLo → get reminded when it actually matters
Trash day reminders sent to your partner (so you're not the nag)
Holiday gifts for your second cousins and aunty you haven’t seen in half a decade → MeLo will figure it out, so you’re focused on the joys of TSA and flying
Each family is unique and has its own way of doing things. Play around and use MeLo however it will be most beneficial for you. Share your stories with us so we know how it’s working for you!
