Your calendar tells you where you need to be. Your workspace tells you what you need to do. Why are they in separate apps?
Calendar Integration for designers
Designers deal with moodboards, references, and project briefs. Melo's calendar integration is particularly valuable here because it lets you organize this work spatially — seeing everything in context rather than hidden behind tabs and folders.
Melo's spatial canvas mirrors how designers naturally think — visually and spatially. Tile Figma embeds next to client briefs, moodboard images next to copy drafts. Everything stays local on your Mac, so client work stays private.
1.Inspiration images, client briefs, and design specs live in different apps
2.No spatial workspace to arrange references the way your brain works
3.Design tools handle design, but not the thinking and planning around it
4.Sharing sensitive client work through cloud tools raises privacy concerns

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Melo good for designers?
Yes. Melo's spatial canvas is particularly well-suited for designers who need to manage moodboards, references, and project briefs. The ability to tile multiple content types on one board means you can see everything relevant to your work without switching apps.
What makes Melo better than other tools for designers?
Most tools force you into their structure — linear documents, rigid databases, or text-only editors. Designers need flexibility to arrange moodboards, references, and project briefs in a way that makes sense. Melo's spatial canvas adapts to you, and the AI understands your full context.
How does Calendar Integration work in Melo?
Calendar Integration 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.
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.
Is my data private with Melo?
Yes. Melo is local-first, meaning your data lives on your Mac by default. Nothing is uploaded to external servers unless you explicitly use AI features, which send only the necessary context and don't persist your data.
