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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which apps have voice-controlled notes?
Few productivity apps offer true voice-controlled notes the way Melo does. While some tools have partial implementations, Melo's version is deeply integrated into a spatial canvas with full AI awareness and local-first architecture.
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.
What makes Melo better than other tools for students?
Most tools force you into their structure — linear documents, rigid databases, or text-only editors. Students need flexibility to arrange coursework, research, and study sessions in a way that makes sense. Melo's spatial canvas adapts to you, and the AI understands your full context.
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.
