Download and open
Drag Binqo into Applications. It lives in the menu bar, with no Dock icon.
Point at the notch
Move your cursor to the top of the screen. The notch grows, and Mielo says hi.
Hold ⌥ Space and talk
Ask anything from any app. Let go, and Mielo answers out loud.
Everything, one glance up.
Pick a feature to see Mielo at work.
Talk, don't type.
Your words turn into text with Apple's speech recognition, on your Mac whenever possible. Mielo shows its steps, answers in a second, and offers to block the time, copy the reply or start a timer.
A voice you'll like.
Private by design.
Clipboard history stays in memory and skips passwords. Nothing leaves your Mac unless you ask Mielo something.
Drop files on the notch.
Keep them one drag away, or AirDrop them all in one click.
Focus with a friend.
A ring of dots that empties as you work. Mielo squints while you focus, and nudges you to take a break when you're done.

143 glowing dots with a big personality. Mielo bounces to your music, squints while you focus and dozes off late at night. Move your cursor: those eyes follow you.
Questions
Do I need a MacBook with a notch?
No. On Macs without a notch, or on an external display, Binqo draws its own at the top of your screen, so Mielo still has a home.
What does Mielo send to the internet?
Only what you ask. A question goes to Mielo's AI service, with today's calendar and recent clipboard text only if you allow it. Spoken answers are voiced by ElevenLabs. Turning your speech into text is done by Apple's speech recognition, on your Mac whenever possible. Read the privacy page for details.
Does it work with Spotify and Apple Music?
Yes. Binqo shows what's playing in either app, with play, pause and skip right in the notch.
Is my clipboard history saved anywhere?
No. It lives in memory while Binqo runs, and anything a password manager marks as hidden is never kept.
How do I get new versions?
Download the latest version from this site and replace the app in Applications. Automatic updates are on the way.
Download Binqo
