Project Planning
Project Planning, reimagined.
Project planning is about seeing the big picture and the details simultaneously. Most planning tools force you to choose — either a high-level roadmap or granular tasks. Melo's spatial canvas lets you zoom between both, tiling your project plan alongside tasks, research, and AI on one board.
What is project planning?
Project Planningis more than a feature — it's a way of working. Most tools claim to offer project planning, but they bolt it onto rigid structures that don't match how you actually think. Melo approaches it differently: a spatial canvas where your project planning tools live alongside everything else you work with.
Instead of switching between apps for notes, tasks, AI, and web references, you tile them all on one board. Your project planning setup becomes a visual workspace that you navigate spatially — the way your brain naturally organizes information.

Why Melo for project planning?
Most project planningtools are either too simple (Apple Notes, Google Keep) or too complex (Notion databases, Obsidian plugins). Melo hits the sweet spot: a spatial canvas that's intuitive enough to start using immediately, but powerful enough to handle serious work.
The AI sees your entire workspace, so it can help you organize, connect, and build on your project planningwithout you having to explain context. And because everything is local-first, it's fast, private, and always available — even offline.
