A menu-bar ritual for calls

Meetings, with a ritual.

Focus. A dated note. Join from the calendar. Optional listening — only after you say so. The call stays the point.

meetingmode.xyz/preview — live, not a mock

Click the menu extra in the bar, or press Control-Option-M.

Why it exists

Calls go better when the computer has a job.

Most tools try to replace the meeting. Meeting Mode sits in the menu bar and runs a short ritual around it — so you arrive, stay present, and leave with a page.

Focus

The rest of the machine goes quiet so the call can be the only thing.

Briefing

Who is in the room, what is open, what to say. Prep before you join.

Dated note

One file per meeting, already on disk before you join.

Capture

Actions, decisions, parked items as you go. Owners and dues, in the note and the inbox.

Calendar Join

The next event sits in the menu extra. One click into the room.

Consent-first listening

Nothing records until you start it. Listening never starts on its own.

Wrap-up

You hang up with a page and an inbox, not a blank.

The shortcut

Control-Option-M. Same motion, every call.

The ritual

Three moves. Then you are in the call.

  1. 01

    Flip it on

    Click the menu extra, or press the shortcut. Start the next calendar event, a 1:1, standup, or a blank note.

  2. 02

    Sit in the call

    Join from the extra. Check the agenda, capture /a /d /p /q as you go, and watch the leftover time.

  3. 03

    Wrap up

    Listening is optional. Wrap-up uses what you wrote. Actions land in the inbox for the next time you meet.

Monthly

Start the ritual. Pay when the listening matters.
