Meeting Notes built for lawyers.

Tile case documents, legal research, notes, and AI analysis on one spatial board per matter. See the entire case landscape at a glance. Local-first architecture means attorney-client privilege is protected — your data never leaves your machine.

The lawyers problem

Lawyers juggle case files, legal research, and document review — often across five or more apps. Every tool switch costs 15-25 minutes of regained focus. When your meeting notes is scattered across apps, you lose context, miss connections, and spend more time managing tools than doing real work.

Traditional meeting notes tools weren't designed for lawyers. They either force you into rigid structures that don't match your workflow, or they're too simple to handle the complexity of case files, legal research, and document review.

How Melo helps lawyers

Melo gives lawyers a spatial canvas designed for meeting notes. Instead of bouncing between apps, you tile everything on one board — notes, web references, AI chat, tasks, and calendar. Your meeting notes becomes a visual workspace that matches how you actually think about case files, legal research, and document review.

The AI sees your entire workspace, so it can help with case files, legal research, and document reviewwith full context. Ask it to summarize your work, draft communications, brainstorm ideas, or organize your board — and it responds with answers grounded in what you're actually working on.

Pain points Melo solves

1

Case materials spread across document management systems, email, and notes

2

Legal research requires cross-referencing multiple sources simultaneously

3

Client confidentiality makes cloud-based tools a liability

4

No spatial way to see the full picture of a case at a glance

Lawyers workflow in Melo

Open Melo and create a board for your primary case files. Tile your key documents, a task list, relevant web pages, and an AI chat. As you work, the spatial layout keeps everything visible — no hidden tabs, no lost context.

When you need to switch contexts, switch boards. Each board preserves your tiling arrangement exactly as you left it. AI carries context across your workspace, so it can help you connect ideas between different areas of your work.

The result: less time managing tools, more time doing the work that matters. Your meeting notes setup becomes a spatial extension of how you think — fast, visual, and always available.
