What is voice-controlled notes?
Sometimes the fastest way to capture a thought is to say it out loud. Melo's voice controls let you dictate notes, create tasks, and interact with AI — all hands-free.
Voice-Controlled Notes for consultants
Consultants deal with client deliverables, research, and project management. Melo's voice-controlled notes is particularly valuable here because it lets you organize this work spatially — seeing everything in context rather than hidden behind tabs and folders.
Create a board per client engagement in Melo. Tile deliverables, research, meeting notes, and AI on one canvas. Switch clients by switching boards — each with its own spatial context. Local-first means client-sensitive data never touches a third-party server.
1.Each client engagement requires a completely different set of documents and context
2.Deliverables, research, meeting notes, and timelines live in separate tools
3.Confidential client data passes through multiple cloud services
4.Context-switching between client projects destroys deep thinking time

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Voice-Controlled Notes work in Melo?
Voice-Controlled Notes is built natively into Melo's spatial canvas. It's not a plugin or add-on — it's a core part of the workspace that integrates with your notes, tasks, AI, and other tiles. See the feature details above for specifics.
Is Melo good for consultants?
Yes. Melo's spatial canvas is particularly well-suited for consultants who need to manage client deliverables, research, and project management. The ability to tile multiple content types on one board means you can see everything relevant to your work without switching apps.
How do consultants use Melo differently?
Consultants typically create boards organized around their client deliverables, research, and project management. They tile relevant documents, tasks, web references, and AI chat specific to their workflow. The spatial layout lets them design a workspace that matches how they naturally think about their work.
Is Melo free?
Melo is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no recurring fees. Pay once and own it forever. There's no free tier, but you get the full product with a single purchase.
Is my data private with Melo?
Yes. Melo is local-first, meaning your data lives on your Mac by default. Nothing is uploaded to external servers unless you explicitly use AI features, which send only the necessary context and don't persist your data.
