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 freelancers
Freelancers deal with client projects, invoices, and planning. 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.
Create a board per client in Melo. Tile the brief, task list, reference materials, and AI chat for each project. Switch between client contexts by switching boards. One-time purchase means no monthly overhead eating into your margins.
1.Each client is a different mental context with its own docs, tasks, and comms
2.No single view across all active projects and deadlines
3.Paying for project management tools designed for teams of 50 when you're a team of one
4.Client-sensitive information scattered across cloud services

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Melo better than other tools for freelancers?
Most tools force you into their structure — linear documents, rigid databases, or text-only editors. Freelancers need flexibility to arrange client projects, invoices, and planning 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 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.
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.
