Meli is a personal AI that becomes yours. Not a generic assistant. Not a sycophantic chatbot. Yours. It learns who you are, messages you first, follows through on what you said you'd do, and pushes back when you need it to. An AI assistant, AI companion, and executive assistant in one. Unlike AI assistants that reset every session, Meli remembers across weeks and months. Unlike AI that waits for you to ask, Meli reaches out first. And unlike every other AI, your Meli connects with other people's Melis to coordinate and take action on your behalf. WHAT MELI DOES Becomes Yours Name it. Shape its tone. The longer you use it, the more it adapts. No two Melis are alike. It Texts You First Checks in on what you said you'd do. Catches what slips. You don't have to remember to open the app. Meli messages you first. Works In The Background Meli keeps working between conversations. Wakes you up to progress updates, runs monitors, surfaces what changed while you were busy. Remembers Everything Complete context across weeks and months. Your goals, your patterns, what actually works for you. No repeating yourself. Always In Your Corner Tracks the slumps, celebrates the wins. Whether you need a drill sergeant or quiet support, Meli adapts to how you need it. And it tells you the truth, not just what you want to hear. Your Second Brain Projects, health, study, journaling, to-do lists, life admin. Stop juggling five apps and a stack of notebooks. Calendar, Todoist & More Syncs Google Calendar and Todoist, and a growing list of tools. Follows up on your commitments automatically. Plans around your day, blocks time, tracks the things that matter. KEY FEATURES Voice Mode Talk to Meli hands-free. Real conversations, not just commands. Speak naturally, Meli responds. Goal Tracking and Accountability Set goals, track habits, build streaks. Better than any habit tracker because it holds you accountable. Meli follows up to make sure you follow through, and calls you out when you're rationalizing. Monitors Meli watches news, events, prices, and updates in the background. Get alerted when something relevant happens. Documents Store notes, plans, and anything you want Meli to remember. Your Meli references them when relevant. PERFECT FOR ADHD, AuDHD, Autism, and Executive Function Support A planner that actually works for neurodivergent minds. Gentle accountability, no judgment. Holds the chaos so you don't have to. Anyone Navigating Something Big Recovery, illness, caregiving, a tough chapter. Meli holds your whole life so you don't have to carry it alone. Couples and Partners Your Melis coordinate schedules, flag conflicts, and keep things running. Show up for each other without the constant texting. Freelancers, Founders, and Solo Operators Juggle multiple clients, projects, and deadlines. Meli holds the complexity and keeps you accountable. THE MELI DIFFERENCE Most AI is generic. You ask, it answers, session ends. Most productivity apps wait for you to come back to them. Meli becomes yours. The longer you use it, the more it knows you. Your patterns, your people, your priorities. It holds your whole life and answers from all of it. It messages you first, calls out the things you're rationalizing, and connects with other Melis when coordination matters. MELINET. CONNECT YOUR AI WITH OTHERS The first AI that talks to other AIs. Connect your Meli with your partner, your cofounder, your coach, or your accountability group. Your Melis coordinate on your behalf: sharing updates, flagging conflicts, creating calendar events, and taking action across accounts. Autonomously. Your partner stuck in traffic? Their Meli tells your Meli. Your Meli pushes dinner back, adds "start laundry" to your calendar, and lets you know. Neither of you had to text. Connect one-on-one or in groups. Your Meli stays loyal to you while coordinating with everyone else's. Not another chatbot. Not another productivity app. Download Meli. Make it yours.

Space Notes was built for people who like to make lists. Shopping lists, to-do lists, recipe lists, lists of modules for the apps you're building, or cards you're collecting. But sometimes just having a list isn't good enough. You know that your recipe needs a particular type of cheese, but there's only store in town that sells it. Space Notes gives you an entire notepad for every item in your checklist, allowing you to provide as much, or as little detail as you need for every single item. Expand your notes from a galaxy to a whole universe of ideas! New in Space Notes 3.0: - Note Bundles: Keep notes organized with Note Bundles. You can create a bundle and add your notes to it so that you can quickly locate related entries. - Card Collector's Gallery: A gallery where you can store images of your favorite trading or collector's cards. - Handwriting with OCR: Use handwriting to enter text into your notes with Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Features: - Note types with exclusive functionality for creating goals with progress bars, comparing notes, making shopping lists. - Expand checklist items into notes for taking as much detail as you need, without crowding your screen. - Randomly select an item from your lists, for those times when you can't decide on something, like where to go for lunch! - Checklist table view: You can now switch to a table view for your checklists, allowing you to quickly edit your checklist items. - Convert to checklist: you can now type out rows of text in the main notepad, then convert them to items in your checklist. - Consolidated to-do list: all your due dates in one central location for quick reference and navigation. - User-defined category tags: create tags to categorize your notes any way you'd like. - Note priorities: assign priority levels for low, medium, high, and urgent. - Three new note types: shopping, recipe, and character cards. - Checklist item due dates: prior to version 2.0, due dates could only be assigned to primary notes. Now they can be assigned to checklist items for 'Goal' notes. - Custom color schemes: add a personal touch to your Space Notes experience by creating your own color schemes. - In-app calendar: access a calendar right within your notes so that you don't have to keep switching between apps when you're making to-do lists. - Due date quick add: when viewing a 'goal' note with the in-app calendar, you can tap on a date in the calendar, then tap the calendar button on a checklist item to instantly create a due date. Space Notes Pro features: - Compare checklists: see two checklists, side by side. Space Notes will automatically highlight if the same item appears in both checklists. - Historical timeline: if you're working on a project, or tracking responsibilities at your job, you can commit your completed tasks to a historical timeline, which removes them from your note lists, but keeps them in a timeline that you can access when it's time to write your resume or review. - Calculator: an in-app calculator so that you don't have to switch to a separate calculator app when you need to do basic arithmetic. Once you've arrived at the result, simply tap on it to insert it into your note. The next version of Space Notes is being completely rebuilt, from the ground up. This will provide greater performance and stability, while also reducing the app's footprint.
