Mental health commands

`/checkin`

Log your current mood and reflect on how you are feeling.

Usage:

/checkin mood:calm intensity:3 activity:reading note:Feeling steady today

Options:

mood (required) - how you are feeling. 25+ choices, including happy, calm, neutral, sad, anxious, frustrated, tired, confused, angry, upset, overwhelmed, numb, stressed, embarrassed, grateful, confident, excited, disappointed, afraid, lonely, proud, relieved, hopeful, content, motivated.
intensity (optional) - how strong the mood is, 1 (very low) to 5 (very high).
activity (optional) - what you are doing right now.
note (optional) - anything else you want to add.

Check-ins are stored with the note and activity encrypted at rest. If a check-in channel is configured for the server, a brief entry may be posted there.

`/insights`

Get trends and summaries from your mood check-ins.

/insights

Shows your recent mood distribution, how intensity has changed over time, and any patterns Mellow can surface from your history.

`/profile`

View your Mellow profile and activity: recent check-ins, coping tool usage, and ghost letter and journal counts.

/profile

`/timemode`

Set your timezone so Mellow can adjust its tone by time of day.

/timemode timezone:America/New_York

timezone (required) - an IANA timezone name.

Once set, Mellow uses a calmer tone during late hours and a more encouraging tone in the early morning. You can also set your timezone through /preferences set timezone:.

Reminders

Check-in reminders are configured through /preferences set:

/preferences set reminders:true checkin_interval:720

reminders - enable or disable check-in reminders.
checkin_interval - minutes between reminders.

Reminders are timezone-aware and delivered by DM.

Managing your data

/context view - see how much conversation context is stored and your privacy settings.
/context clear - delete all stored conversation history for you.
/preferences set context_logging:false - stop storing messages for AI context.

When to seek professional help

Mellow's tracking is a complement to professional care, not a substitute. If low mood persists for weeks, symptoms are severe or worsening, or you are having thoughts of self-harm, contact a mental health professional. Use /crisis resources or /support for immediate help. In the US, call or text 988; for other countries see the international helpline directory.
