Trip report
We reached Adama before noon and met the team at the office.
The new system was installed on all twelve computers.
Try it: tap a line above and type. Editing in the app works the same way, one paragraph at a time.
Four kinds of file, one small app

Password-protected PDFs open after you type the password.
- Zoom, search for a word, jump to any page, and read in night mode.
- The app remembers the page where you stopped.
- Add text anywhere on a page, in English or Amharic.
- Stick a yellow note on a page, or highlight an area.

Your files are your business
Many document apps want an account, your storage and a connection. DocuMela asks for none of them.
No account
Install the app and open a file. There is nothing to sign up for.
No storage permission
You choose each file yourself. The app cannot look through the rest of your phone.
Nothing is uploaded
Reading, editing and converting all happen on the phone, so it works without internet.
Ten themes for a new presentation
Choose a look, type your title and points, and present. The file opens in PowerPoint as well.










Turn one kind of file into another
Conversion runs on the phone. The new file keeps your content in a clean, simple layout.
Good to know before you install
- Word documents are shown in a reading view, not as the printed page.
- Converted files keep the content, not the exact design of the original.
- Older .doc, .xls and .ppt files are not supported.
- The app is free and shows ads on the home screen and between files, never on top of an open document.
