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 teachers
Teachers deal with lesson plans, student materials, and classroom management. 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.
Plan your entire week on one spatial board. Tile lesson plans, student resources, grade tracking, and calendar side by side. Melo's AI knows your curriculum context, so it helps generate materials tailored to your specific students and standards.
1.Lesson planning tools don't integrate with grading, notes, or calendar
2.Creating differentiated materials for different student levels takes hours
3.Classroom resources scattered across Google Drive, email, and physical files
4.AI tools generate generic lesson content that needs heavy customization

Frequently Asked Questions
How do teachers use Melo differently?
Teachers typically create boards organized around their lesson plans, student materials, and classroom management. 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.
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.
Is Melo good for teachers?
Yes. Melo's spatial canvas is particularly well-suited for teachers who need to manage lesson plans, student materials, and classroom management. The ability to tile multiple content types on one board means you can see everything relevant to your work without switching apps.
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.
How is Melo different from a regular note-taking app?
Melo isn't just a note app — it's a spatial workspace. You can tile notes alongside web pages, AI chat, calendar, todos, and clipboard history on one canvas. It replaces multiple apps with a single visual environment.
