Running the meeting

Start the meeting

Open the 1:1 from Today, from Next up in the navigation, or from the person’s page, then select Start meeting. This opens meeting mode, a full-screen view with the rest of the app hidden.

If you leave and come back, the button reads Resume meeting.

A clock in the meeting-mode header shows how long the meeting has been running, and appears in the app’s live bar if you navigate away. Nothing happens when it passes your scheduled length.

What’s on screen

The main column has:

• Agenda — your items as questions with space for answers. Work down the list, type your answer, then select the question to collapse it.
• Notes — free-form, for anything off the agenda. Saves as you type.

The right-hand column has:

• Last 1:1 — Mora’s summary of your previous conversation
• What’s on their mind — their check-in answers, if they replied
• Open goals — their current goals. Select one to update it without leaving the meeting, or use + to add a goal.

On a phone, the right-hand column moves below the agenda.

Their check-in answers are already on screen, so use your notes for what you heard rather than for copying out what they wrote.

Finish the meeting

Select End meeting, or Exit and then end it from the Prep page. This opens the wrap-up.

The wrap-up has two columns: the record you’re closing out on the left, and what happens next on the right. Finish & complete 1:1 stays fixed at the bottom of the screen.

1. What moved

The goals you discussed, ready to update. Mark progress, close one, or add a new one. If there are no open goals, Mora says so.

Do this first. Mora’s draft of the next agenda reads the goals as they stand, so updating them here means the draft reflects the change.

2. Your notes

The meeting’s notes, still editable, below the goals. Use this for anything you meant to write down during the meeting. It’s the same document you used in meeting mode.

3. How it landed

Select Good, Okay, or Tough.

This records how the conversation went, not how the person is performing, and only you can see it. Over time it shows you a run of difficult 1:1s.

4. Next time’s agenda

Mora drafts the next agenda from your notes, your answers, and the goals you updated. It’s labeled as a draft.

Edit it, add anything you promised to return to, then select Finish & complete 1:1.

If you delete every item, Mora asks you to confirm.

The button reads Draft with Mora until there’s a draft, then Re-draft. If you change goals or add notes and want the agenda to reflect that, select Re-draft.

If the 1:1 has no notes and no answers, Mora says so rather than inventing an agenda.

After you finish

• Mora writes a summary, shown on the next 1:1’s Prep page
• Mora rebuilds its read on your working relationship with the person
• The next meeting in the schedule is booked
• The 1:1 you just ran becomes read-only

Star a 1:1

You can star any 1:1’s notes, from the meeting itself or from the person’s Notes tab. Starred 1:1s appear at the top of that tab, above the list in date order.

You can star past 1:1s too, because a star is a bookmark rather than an edit.

If you don’t wrap up

The meeting stays open and a banner appears across the top of the app, naming the person and the date, with a Wrap up button. You can’t dismiss the banner, because dismissing it would mean losing the notes.

After a grace period, Mora moves the schedule on anyway, so one forgotten wrap-up doesn’t stall your rhythm. You won’t get the summary or the drafted next agenda for that meeting.

You’ll also get an email reminder, unless you’ve turned cadence reminders off in Settings → Email preferences.

Reopen or reset a 1:1

In meeting mode, a finished 1:1 offers Reopen if you need to go back in.

Reset is different. It returns the meeting to scheduled so you can run it again, and it deletes the notes and the “how it landed” answer. It doesn’t affect goals or other meetings, and it cannot be undone. Use it for a meeting started by mistake.
