MeloScan · Resources

Everything you need to start.

How to get MeloScan, how to set up the workspace it sends to, and the questions people ask before the first scan.

Getting started

From the download to the first quote from a scan: five steps, each landing on the feature it uses.

  1. Get the app

    MeloScan runs on an iPhone 12 Pro or newer Pro, or an iPad Pro with LiDAR, on iOS 17 or later. It is in private testing now; the download page carries the App Store release the day there is one.

    What it runs on
  2. Point it at your workspace

    Scans reach Melo over your own key. Create the key under Scans in your workspace and put it, with the server address, in the app's Settings.

  3. Scan the room

    Walk the room with the phone. Room capture runs on Apple RoomPlan; textured 3D captures the space as it is. The floor plan and the wall elevations are drawn from the scan.

  4. Measure and pin

    Aim and tap for a distance or an area; drop numbered pins with a note and a photo where the quote will need them.

  5. Send, and make the quote

    One tap sends the scan to your workspace. From Scans, create a quote: the measured quantities become its line items, and the capture rides in as a Room Scan block.

Questions

Measure
Once

The tape measure, the graph paper and the retyping all go. The room is measured once, and every document after it reads the same numbers.
