How founders use calendar integration.

See your schedule alongside your work.

What is calendar integration?

Your calendar tells you where you need to be. Your workspace tells you what you need to do. Why are they in separate apps?

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Melo better than other tools for founders?

Most tools force you into their structure — linear documents, rigid databases, or text-only editors. Founders need flexibility to arrange strategy, fundraising, and product thinking in a way that makes sense. Melo's spatial canvas adapts to you, and the AI understands your full context.

Which apps have calendar integration?

Few productivity apps offer true calendar integration 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.

How do founders use Melo differently?

Founders typically create boards organized around their strategy, fundraising, and product thinking. They tile relevant documents, tasks, web references, and AI chat specific to their workflow. The spatial layout lets them design a workspace that matches how they naturally think about their work.

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 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.
