No manual folders, no manual tagging. - Slash Commands /remind for reminders, /ask to query your notes, /calendar for events, /tag for tags, /lock for biometric protection. - Voice Input Speak naturally โ€” local speech recognition transcribes and routes your input to the right action. - Knowledge Graph See how your notes connect. Force-directed visualization of semantic relationships. - Smart Mode (Optional) Download an on-device AI model (Gemma 3 or LFM2.5) for natural language answers grounded in your notes. PRIVACY-FIRST Everything runs on your device. We don't have servers. We don't track. We don't analyze. We can't see your notes โ€” even if we wanted to. Your data is encrypted at rest, biometrically locked, and never leaves your iPhone. REQUIREMENTS - iOS 17 or later - iPhone XS or newer recommended - Smart Mode requires additional 1-3 GB free storage

About

MelMat

You can't afford to be wrong. MelMat makes sure you aren't guessing. Ask any question and MelMat runs four leading AI research engines on it at once โ€” then synthesizes their answers into a single, structured brief: a clear summary, the key findings, the points where the engines agree, and the contradictions most tools quietly bury. Because the real risk isn't a wrong answer. It's a confident wrong answer. MelMat scores how strongly the engines agree and surfaces exactly where they diverge โ€” so you know how much weight a finding can bear before you act on it. Built for people who are accountable for being right: in healthcare, law, finance, real estate, consulting, and beyond. WHAT YOU GET - Four research engines on every query โ€” never a single point of failure - Structured briefs: summary, findings, points of consensus, contradictions, what to do next - A consensus score so you know how strong the signal really is - Grounded against authoritative public data sources, not just model memory - Mยฒ Chat โ€” ask MelMat anything, conversationally, anytime - Dig Deeper โ€” interrogate any brief: "show me where they disagreed," "what's the weakest claim," and more - Download or email any brief as a polished PDF MelMat is a multi-model synthesis platform. The engines are the inputs. The synthesis โ€” the judgment about what to trust โ€” is the product. Patent Pending.
