Melo vs Craft

Trying to decide between Melo and Craft? Here's the honest breakdown.

Quick Verdict

Craft is gorgeous and polished for document creation. But it's still a document tool — great for writing, limited for everything else. Melo gives you the same native Mac quality but on a spatial canvas where you can work with notes, AI, web pages, todos, and calendar all at once. If your work goes beyond writing, Melo is the better fit.
