What we're building
Every product starts from a real problem we've felt or seen up close. Some are live, others are almost there.

Parallax
See at a glance what changed on your Jira board.

How we build
Simple principles, serious products
Ship early, with real people
Small pilots, direct feedback and fast iterations. We'd rather learn from users than guess on a whiteboard.
Private by default
We collect only what's needed. Where possible, data stays on your device — like in the Parallax extension.
AI where it adds value
We use AI to save time and create new things, not as decoration. If it doesn't help, it doesn't ship.
Sustainable products
We build to last: careful code, controlled costs and honest business models.
About us
From Belmonte to the world
Melro started as a small software studio for local businesses. Along the way we realised what we love most is building our own products — and seeing them used every day.
Today we're a couple building from Belmonte, in the heart of Portugal's Beira Interior. We believe you don't need to be in a big city to build technology that goes far.
