Speak Freely. Keep Your Gloves On.

The voice-first app for hive inspections. Record naturally, get structured notes — no screens, no typing, works offline.

Sounds Familiar?

You know the drill. You're mid-inspection, gloves on, smoker in one hand, frame in the other. You spot the queen, notice mites, want to note something — but there's no good way to record it.

  • Pull off a glove? Risk stings, lose your flow.
  • Tap a screen with gloves? Forget it.
  • Scribble on paper? Illegible, lost, never digitized.
  • Just remember? Half the details are gone by the time you sit down.

Good record-keeping shouldn't require a free hand.

How It Works

Record

Select your apiary, tap the mic, and talk through your inspection. No commands, no structure — just speak naturally.

AI Extracts

Beekeeping-trained AI transcribes your speech and organizes observations by hive into structured records: queen, brood, frames, temperament, follow-ups. By the time you're home, your notes are waiting.

Review

Check the results, fix anything, done. 

Why ManamelAI

Natural Speech

No commands, no forms. Speak the way you normally talk about your hives — any order, corrections, revisiting a hive you already mentioned. Our AI understands real beekeeping terminology and figures it out.

Fully Offline

No signal at the apiary? No problem. Record your entire inspection offline. Everything syncs when you're back in range.

Built for the Field

Big buttons, high contrast, screen-lock recording. Up to 4 hours continuous. Designed for gloved hands and outdoor conditions.

Your Data, Your Rules

GDPR compliant, EU data centers. You control recording retention. No tracking without consent. No data sharing. Delete your account anytime. Advanced protection against accidental recording outside apiary.

Free for the Community

We're committed to a generous free tier so every beekeeper can benefit. We're building a community, not just a product — more beekeepers means better insights for everyone.

Broader vision

Manamel starts as a tool for individual beekeepers. But structured data from many apiaries — with permission — becomes something much more powerful.

Imagine knowing:

  • "Varroa pressure is spiking in your region this month"
  • "Beekeepers 30 km south are reporting strong linden nectar flow"
  • "Melezitose honey flow observed at 3 apiaries within 50 km — what to watch out for"


This is where we're heading. A large free tier means broad participation. More beekeepers, more data, more useful signals flowing back to everyone.

Individual record-keeping first. Community intelligence next.

FAQs

Initially English and Czech are supported in the early-access version, but support for other languages will follow.

No. Record completely offline. Processing starts automatically once you're back online.

It's good — in our testing, it correctly groups observations by hive and captures key details reliably. But you always review the results and can correct anything.

Manamel is compatible with most smartphones and tablets with Android or iOS (iPhone).

Manamel is fully GDPR compliant. All data is processed and stored in EU data centers, protected by strict European data regulations. You control the retention of the voice recordings. ManamelAI automatically protects you against accidental recordings outside apiary.

We're committed to a generous free plan that covers the core workflow — voice recording, transcription, AI extraction, offline access. The exact limits are still being shaped (partly based on how our early testers actually use the app). Premium will add advanced features like analytics, integrations, and AI-powered insights.

Join Founding Beekeepers

We're building Manamel for beekeepers, and we want to build it with beekeepers. We're looking for our first group of testers — people who'll use the app in the field, tell us what works, what doesn't, and what's missing.

In return:

  • A generous free plan — voice recording, AI extraction, offline access. We're committed to keeping the core experience free so every beekeeper can benefit.
  • 2 years of Premium on us — as we develop advanced features (analytics, data integrations, AI-powered recommendations), you get full access at no cost.
  • Lifetime 50% off Premium — after your 2 free years, half price for the premium, forever.
  • A seat at the table — your feedback directly shapes what we build.

    We only need a handful of committed beekeepers for this first group. If you care about keeping good records and are willing to tolerate a few rough edges, we'd love to have you.
