Try Melo for iPhone early
Melo for iPhone is in beta on TestFlight. It plans your day, finds recipes, reads your mail and warns you about scam texts. Join through our Discord and you can use all of it for free while you test, Pro included.
What Melo does on your iPhone
Melo for Mac came out on 26 October. Melo for iPhone does the same small jobs, from your pocket. Press the Action button or ask Siri, say what you need, and Melo opens with the answer.
It plans for you
Say “dentist on Thursday at ten, and call Mum on Sunday”. Melo puts an event in Calendar and a reminder in Reminders when you tap Add. It also changes what’s already there: “move the dentist an hour later” or “cancel lunch with Noor”. Melo shows which appointment it means first.
It finds recipes and places
Ask for a few healthy recipes and you get cards with a photo, the calories per serving and the cooking time. Say “under 500 kcal” or “vegetarian” and Melo only shows what fits. Ask about a restaurant and you get the address, a photo and buttons for Maps and calling.
It reads your mail
Link Outlook and ask “what are my most important emails?” or “what’s on my calendar tomorrow?”. Melo can suggest a short reply. It lands as a draft in Outlook. Melo never sends or deletes anything.
It warns you about scams
Paste a text that asks for your PIN, a login link or money to a “safe account”, or a “hi Mum, new number” message. Melo warns you instead of helping with it.
It makes files
Ask for a PDF, a presentation or a Word file, and Melo makes it on your iPhone.
It asks first
An event, a changed appointment or a reply only happens after you tap Yes. Text that tries to give Melo orders, in an email, a file name or something you paste, is read as text and never followed.
The beta is free, and testers get Pro. Get early iPhone access
What stays on your iPhone
Melo answers with the AI that Apple Intelligence puts on your iPhone. Your questions don’t go to Kamelo or to any other AI company.
- When Melo looks something up, like opening hours or a recipe, only the search words leave your iPhone, never your chat.
- Outlook is read straight from Microsoft. It doesn’t pass through Kamelo.
- What Melo remembers about you, like an allergy, stays on your iPhone. You see it under About you and can erase it.
What doesn’t work yet
- This is a beta. Melo will get things wrong, so check what matters.
- Chatting with Melo needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer with Apple Intelligence turned on. On older iPhones only the Melo keyboard works.
- Recipes are in Dutch for now.
- Dropbox and GitHub are new and still rough.
