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 designers
Designers deal with moodboards, references, and project briefs. 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.
Melo's spatial canvas mirrors how designers naturally think — visually and spatially. Tile Figma embeds next to client briefs, moodboard images next to copy drafts. Everything stays local on your Mac, so client work stays private.
1.Inspiration images, client briefs, and design specs live in different apps
2.No spatial workspace to arrange references the way your brain works
3.Design tools handle design, but not the thinking and planning around it
4.Sharing sensitive client work through cloud tools raises privacy concerns
