Moments, never money

Every purchase stays in Maya’s private ledger, amount and all. Friends get one line about it.

Don’t feel like sharing?

Completely fine. Turn transparency down to Low or switch sharing off, and melo is a great spending tracker on its own, with every purchase kept safe on your iPhone.

A spending tracker that fills itself in

Apple Pay taps log themselves. Anything else is a quick add, a receipt scan or a request to Siri. No bank connection required.

How a moment gets there

Set up one Wallet automation in Shortcuts. After that, there’s nothing to post.

  1. Maya taps to pay

    The automation hands the purchase to melo. No bank login, no linked cards.

  2. Only Maya can see it

    Every moment waits 15 minutes. Try it: hide this one, or never share the place again.

  3. Maya’s friends see it

Comfortable by default

Close friends see moments from the start. Every off switch is one tap away.

One switch pauses all sharing, from Friends or Me.
A 15-minute hold
Nothing posts the moment you pay. Hide any moment before friends see it.
Private kinds stay private
Health, bills, income and anything uncategorized are never shared, and neither are places like pharmacies, clinics, liquor stores and casinos.
Friends only
No public feed and no strangers. People join by invite link, QR code or handle.
Encrypted on your phone
Moments, reactions and replies are end-to-end encrypted. melo never uploads your ledger.
