Productivity Workspace for Students.

Melo lets you tile lecture notes, research papers, an assignment tracker, and AI chat on one spatial board. Your entire semester is visible at a glance, and everything stays local on your Mac.

The students problem

Students juggle coursework, research, and study sessions — often across five or more apps. Every tool switch costs 15-25 minutes of regained focus. When your productivity workspace is scattered across apps, you lose context, miss connections, and spend more time managing tools than doing real work.

Traditional productivity workspace tools weren't designed for students. They either force you into rigid structures that don't match your workflow, or they're too simple to handle the complexity of coursework, research, and study sessions.

How Melo helps students

Melo gives students a spatial canvas designed for productivity workspace. Instead of bouncing between apps, you tile everything on one board — notes, web references, AI chat, tasks, and calendar. Your productivity workspace becomes a visual workspace that matches how you actually think about coursework, research, and study sessions.

The AI sees your entire workspace, so it can help with coursework, research, and study sessionswith 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

Students workflow in Melo

Open Melo and create a board for your primary coursework. 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 productivity workspace setup becomes a spatial extension of how you think — fast, visual, and always available.
