Project Planning for Creators.

Melo is a spatial mood board for your mind. Tile reference articles, video embeds, brainstorm notes, and AI chat on one canvas. The AI knows your research context, so it generates ideas that actually fit your content strategy. One-time lifetime license — no subscriptions.

The creators problem

Creators juggle content planning, research, and ideation — often across five or more apps. Every tool switch costs 15-25 minutes of regained focus. When your project planning is scattered across apps, you lose context, miss connections, and spend more time managing tools than doing real work.

Traditional project planning tools weren't designed for creators. They either force you into rigid structures that don't match your workflow, or they're too simple to handle the complexity of content planning, research, and ideation.

How Melo helps creators

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

The AI sees your entire workspace, so it can help with content planning, research, and ideationwith 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

Research scattered across browser bookmarks, note apps, and screenshots

2

No visual way to connect ideas across different content pieces

3

AI writing tools that produce generic output without knowing your style or topic

4

Subscription fatigue from paying monthly for five different creative tools

Creators workflow in Melo

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Melo better than other tools for creators?

Most tools force you into their structure — linear documents, rigid databases, or text-only editors. Creators need flexibility to arrange content planning, research, and ideation in a way that makes sense. Melo's spatial canvas adapts to you, and the AI understands your full context.

Can Melo replace my current project planning setup?

For most people, yes. Melo handles notes, tasks, web references, AI, calendar, and clipboard in one spatial workspace. Instead of bouncing between multiple apps for project planning, you get everything on one canvas.

Is Melo good for creators?

Yes. Melo's spatial canvas is particularly well-suited for creators who need to manage content planning, research, and ideation. 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.

What platforms does Melo support?

Melo is built exclusively for macOS. It's a native Electron app optimized for the Mac experience — trackpad gestures, keyboard shortcuts, and performance tuned for Apple hardware.
