Hi Product Hunt 👋
We’ve been looking forward to this day for over one year. Ever since we wrote our first line of code.
Melon grew from my own experience as a young professional, whose appetite for growth and development quickly outgrew what the market had to offer. I went from engineering school to trading to tech - each time learning new skills through podcasts, articles, Twitter etc.
And that’s the reality for so many other ambitious young professionals out there. In a job market like we have today, career flexibility has never been more important.
So I asked myself: how can we get the most of what’s available? How can we start connecting the dots from all the content we consume daily? How can we make our digital diet a powerful tool for upskilling?
I have tried all types of fancy bookmarking apps. But I still struggled to put what I learned to use and formulate my ideas.
I needed something different.
Meet Melon: your true ‘Brain Twin’ - a thought partner that helps you connect the dots and apply your learnings in everyday life. Ask your brain anything about everything that you saved - from writing thought-provoking tweets based on your recent learning to summarise what you know about topics that you’ve been upskilling in.
Today, we’re shipping a whole bunch of features. Here are the headlines:
- seamless feed your brain with content and insights from any source
- discover and retrieve insights that connect the dots between what you’ve read or listened to
- proactively recall conclusions and use them to generate content
- capture good ideas wherever, whenever, with Melon for Desktop and iOS
Give it a spin. Then let us know what you think below. Product development is never finished.
But we’re betting you’ll love it. We’ve already built up a community of thousands of entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, marketers…all using Melon to push their thinking forward.
Thank you for the support so far!

So excited about this concept! Though, I'm not sure exactly how it works. It would be great with an explainer video on your landing page.
Can I add non-digital content? E.g. I read a ton of physical books and take photos of important parts or capture quotes in Notion. If I use a tool like this, it would be great if that knowledge-gathering flow could work smoothly as well where it not only captures the text but also makes it easy for me to include the data about it like author, title, etc.
The world of learning and self-development is my true passion, and Melon feels great for enthusiasts like me! Ever thought of collaborating with learning platforms? Good luck! 🧠✨
I love the idea but it took a while for me to get my head around it. I often find that a quick video on the homepage of exactly how I'd use it really helps me to quickly get my head around the difference it would make. Even if its just an audio-less screen grab of the service in action. Is that something you plan to add? It shouldn't take much work to make that possible. its kind of what both the Apple App Store and Google Play store have where the first screenshot you see of an app is actually a video of it in action.
This is such an awesome tool! Props to the team that’s building this and I’m sure it’ll be super valuable to creators designers and many more !
If it can really learn and provide insights as in the description, this is really going to be a useful app. This is one feature that everyone wishes for, when you collect articles from different sources and want to share it with others with similar interests. Couldn't figure out what happens after we create a collection. I thought I might be getting insights instantly once I save a link or article to a collection. Waiting for more features :)
I love the unique branding and clean UI.
It is a bit hard concept and I couldn't understand, what it actually does in 10-20 seconds, which I think is important in an app focusing on learning.
I am still happy to give it a shot!
Cool! Curious to know, as the data fed into my second brain grows, how are you dealing with context limit? Maybe each "collection" is its own "context"? Is there a limit on information in a collection that my second brain will "know about", and beyond that it may start to forget things? Or are you doing something behind the scenes so that doesn't matter? Thanks!
Dear Founders and Makers! This is an amazing project! I know several teams who are working in similar ideas, but you are the first to launch a properly working version. Good luck with your development!!
Unlock your potential with Melon! How does this AI platform help users go deeper into learning and retain more information?
Looks interesting, I'm intrigued by the second brain concept- going to give this a try!
