Inspiration

"What's your capacity for this week?" takes my team 30 minutes to discuss at the start of every all-hands meeting. 1:1 check-ins only happen structurally once a month. We saw how much time this process takes — yet still, problems fall between the gaps and burnout goes undiscovered.

Our team began thinking: what if we just checked in with our energy levels consistently?

What it does

Mello is a simple, real-time signal that helps managers prevent burnout, improve morale, and lead better using three key steps:

  1. Check In — Team members update their energy in 2 seconds
  2. Review — Managers see a team dashboard updated in real-time
  3. Action — Mello Insights gives managers tangible reasons to follow up

Key benefits:

  • Spot burnout before it’s too late
  • Use 1:1 meeting times more efficiently
  • Build trust through consistent communication
  • Widget on work phone: Simple and easy without the pressure
  • Slack & Teams integration: Updates appear where your team already works

How we built it

React Native, Expo, Supabase
