Frequently asked questions

How do I add my own books?

In the library, tap the import button (the arrow into a tray, top right) and choose an EPUB file. You can also open Melo from an EPUB's share menu in the Files app. Melo supports DRM-free EPUB files. PDF and plain text aren't supported yet, and copy-protected (DRM) books can't be imported.

Why is "Analyze Context" unavailable?

Analyze Context uses Apple Intelligence, which runs on your device. It needs an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings › Apple Intelligence & Siri. After you turn it on, the model may take a while to download. If it isn't available, Melo tells you why. Reading, mood ambience and bookmarks work without it.

Some passages can't be analysed, for example passages that touch on sensitive content, passages in a language Apple Intelligence doesn't support yet, or very long selections. Melo shows a message when that happens. Generated explanations can contain mistakes.

How do I bookmark a paragraph?

While reading, tap the Text button in the bottom bar so it changes to Para (paragraph mode), tap a paragraph, then tap Bookmark. Your bookmarks are in the table of contents (tap the chapter counter) under Bookmarks.

How do I turn the changing background off?

While reading, tap the text settings button (Aa) and turn off Mood Ambiance.

What is Fog of War Protection?

The thin coloured timeline at the edge of the page shows the emotional tone of each paragraph you've already read in the current chapter. Paragraphs you haven't reached stay grey, so the timeline doesn't give away what's coming.

How do I remove a book?

In the library, touch and hold a book's cover and choose "Remove from Library", or use ⋯ › Edit Library. Removing a book deletes its copy in Melo. It doesn't affect the original file you imported from.

Where is my data stored?

Only on your device. Melo has no accounts and doesn't connect to the internet. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Where do the sample books come from?
