Board Management

One board per project. Switch contexts instantly.

What is board management?

Your brain can only hold one project context at a time. When you switch tasks, you need to rebuild that context — and research says this takes 15-25 minutes of focused attention.

Melo's board system solves this. Each board is a complete spatial context — a specific arrangement of tiles, notes, web embeds, AI chats, and tasks. Create a board per project, per client, or per area of your life.

Switching boards is switching contexts. Your spatial layout is exactly where you left it. No reconstruction, no hunting for files, no loading time. Instant context restoration.

Key benefits

1

Instant context switching

Switch between project boards and your entire spatial context restores instantly. No loading, no rebuilding your workspace.

2

Spatial memory per project

Each board has its own layout. Your brain builds spatial memory for each project — you know exactly where things are.

3

Clean separation

Work stays organized by project, client, or life area. No mixing of contexts, no accidental cross-contamination.

4

Gesture switching

Multi-finger swipe to switch boards. As fast as switching desktops on macOS.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Board Management work in Melo?

Board Management is built natively into Melo's spatial canvas. It's not a plugin or add-on — it's a core part of the workspace that integrates with your notes, tasks, AI, and other tiles. See the feature details above for specifics.

Which apps have board management?

Few productivity apps offer true board management the way Melo does. While some tools have partial implementations, Melo's version is deeply integrated into a spatial canvas with full AI awareness and local-first architecture.

Can I use Melo offline?

Absolutely. Since Melo is local-first, your entire workspace works offline. Notes, tasks, canvas arrangement, clipboard history — everything is available without an internet connection. AI features require connectivity.

Is Melo free?

Melo is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no recurring fees. Pay once and own it forever. There's no free tier, but you get the full product with a single purchase.
