Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about mial
mial (pronounced "my-all") is your personal context: tasks, the people you're tracking, the patterns of how you work. It remembers everything, keeps it yours, and goes with you to any AI tool you use. Built on one conviction: it belongs to you.
Every new AI tool starts cold and knows nothing about you. Build context in mial once. It remembers what you tell it, notices what you'd miss, and gets sharper the more you use it. Use it on its own. Use it with Pro's AI. Or pair it with whatever AI tool you already use. We don't train on your context, and we don't sell it.
Anyone who feels like they're managing too much in their head. If you've ever thought "I need someone to help me keep track of all this," that's who it's for.
Some of the people we built it for:
- The marketing manager juggling a Q2 plan, school pickups, and a dad in surgery next month.
- The founder bouncing between investor updates, hiring panels, and a partner who travels three weeks a month.
- The consultant tracking five clients, one new baby, and a parent's care plan.
- The engineer who uses Claude or ChatGPT daily and is tired of re-explaining their life every session.
Different lives, same problem: too many threads, no single place that knows them all. Whatever AI tool you reach for, your context goes with you. mial holds the part that should outlast whatever app you happen to be using.
You tell it things however you naturally would, like you would with a friend. "Meeting with Sarah tomorrow about the budget." "Follow up with Jake next week, he's waiting on the proposal." "Mom's birthday is March 15, need to plan dinner." The more context you give, the more useful it becomes.
Free organizes what you tell it: what's on your plate, who you're working with, what's coming up. It catches overdue items, tracks the people you mention, and notices when something keeps getting rescheduled. Once you've built up real context, Pro◆ writes the morning briefing and reasons about your context when you ask.
mial is the context layer that lives underneath your AI tools. Tasks, people, the patterns in how you actually work, all in one place that's yours. Not another assistant. Not another agent. The foundation.
If you want AI to act on that context, bring mial to the AI tools you choose, or subscribe to Pro◆ and AI reads your context directly inside mial. Either way, mial is the foundation, not the agent.
Yes. Export your full context anytime: tasks, people, the synthesized view mial keeps of how you work. Markdown that's ready to paste into Claude, ChatGPT, or any other AI tool. JSON for anything more structured. CSV for spreadsheets.
Export is included on every tier, free and Pro. Your context is yours, and the export is how we prove it.
Yes. The Markdown export is built for this. Drop the file into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any AI tool you already use, and the conversation starts with what you've already captured: what's on your plate, who you're tracking, how you work. No re-explaining your life every session.
If you want the intelligent tier inside mial, Pro◆ adds daily briefings, smart chat, and proactive nudges that work directly on your context without an export step. Either way, the context belongs to you.
Your data is scoped to your account, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold or shared. Pro◆ AI requests go through our proxy to Anthropic with a header instructing them to exclude your data from model training.
You can export everything as Markdown, JSON, or CSV, or delete your account from inside the app. See our full privacy policy for the details.
Most tools manage tasks. mial remembers your context, the full picture of your life, and lets you take it anywhere. Assistants react to commands. Organizers store lists. mial is the layer underneath that connects it all and stays yours.

Free is the foundation: tasks, people, and patterns, all in one calm place that syncs across your devices. It catches overdues, tracks who you mention, notices what keeps getting rescheduled, and exports cleanly to any AI tool. A real product, not a trial.
Pro◆ is the intelligent tier that works on the context you've put in. Daily briefings written for the shape of your day. Chat that reasons about your life. Proactive nudges when something's drifting.
Free shows you what's on your plate. Pro◆ tells you what to do about it, what you're forgetting, and what's coming that you haven't planned for.
Everything stays. Nothing gets deleted, and Free keeps you organized on its own.
What you'll miss is Pro's reasoning: the morning briefings that connect the dots, the nudges that catch things before they slip, the chat that reasons over the context you've built.
Not yet. You tell mial what matters in your own words and it takes it from there. No accounts to connect, no permissions to grant, nothing to set up.
Calendar, email, messaging, and project-tool integrations are on the roadmap. Tell us what you'd want connected at hello@getmial.com and we'll factor it into what we build next.
mial runs in any modern browser, on phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Sign in once and your data syncs across every device.
Native apps are on the roadmap. For now the web app is the home for everything.
Free is genuinely free. It's the full organizing experience with no time limit.
Pro◆ starts with a 14-day free trial when access opens. No payment required. After that it's $10 a month.
Join the waitlist while sign-ups are open. mial is in early access, and you'll get a sign-in code by email when access opens for early members. We're rolling out carefully, not on a fixed date.
Early users who help us make mial better won't be forgotten.
