Everything you need
Built for serious beekeepers
Every feature works offline. No internet. No account.
What sets Melisae apart
Made for gloves, dirt, and no signal
Most of what beekeepers pay for sits behind an account, a subscription, or a box of sensors. These do not.
Log a hive with your gloves on
One question at a time, in targets big enough to hit without looking. On Android the volume keys drive it, so you never touch the glass. Most hands-free apps make you talk; Melisae works when it is loud, windy, or you would rather stay quiet at the hive.
- Volume keys on Android, gloves stay on
- A full inspection in five taps
- Screen stays awake; a voice note is one tap away
Start at the hive, finish at the table
Log in the yard on your phone, then review at home on a bigger screen. The same records stay current on both, and they travel directly between your devices, not through anyone else's servers.
- End to end encrypted, only your devices can read them
- No account, and no server in the middle
- Pair with a six-digit code
Bring years of records with you
Moving from a spreadsheet or another app? Your hives, inspections, and harvests come across intact. You see every row before a single one is saved.
- Reads CSV and Excel, from any app
- Maps your columns, with optional AI help
- Nothing is written until you say so
Answers without sending your hives away
Flit reads your records on the phone and tells you what needs attention: overdue tasks, hives due a look, honey up or down, colony strength across the yard. Ask in plain language with your own AI key, or leave it off and keep the insights.
- Runs on your device, offline
- Nothing uploaded, nothing sold
- Bring your own AI key, or use none
No subscription. No sensors. No account.
The monitoring platforms sell sensors at £150 to £300 a hive, plus a monthly plan. Melisae gives you the log, the trends, and the alerts from the phone in your pocket. Free, and open source.
Your season, as open data
Log every pollinator you see and send it, if you choose, to an open atlas in the Darwin Core standard that biodiversity researchers use. What you record helps the wider landscape, not only your own hives.
Your records stay on your device
No account, no analytics, no ads. Your hives, notes, and photos live on the device and leave only when you export them. Unlike the cloud apps, nothing sits on a company server.
See it in action
A whole apiary, in your pocket
From a first-year nuc to many yards. This is the day to day.
The full toolkit
And everything else
Know when honey is safe
Log every treatment with dose and dates. A live countdown shows the days left before honey is safe to harvest.
Any hive, your way
Langstroth, Warré, Top Bar, or custom. Add your own fields. Archive a retired hive without losing its history.
Weather in context
Local conditions sit beside your records, so an inspection or a nectar flow keeps the weather that went with it.
Many apiaries, one app
Keep separate profiles for your own bees, a club, or a mentee, and switch between them in a tap. Each stays fully apart.
Learn and certify
Built-in lessons for new and growing beekeepers, with completion certificates you keep. Practical, and free.
Nothing slips
Reminders for inspections, treatments, and queen checks. Local notifications, recurring schedules, overdue items flagged.
Leave when you choose
Full JSON backup. Bookkeeping CSV. Profit & Loss PDF. Or contribute to the Ojarim Pollinator Atlas. Your data leaves the device only when you press the button.
