Research Organization
Research Organization on a spatial canvas.
Research generates mountains of information — papers, articles, notes, data, insights. The challenge isn't collecting it, it's organizing it so you can find connections and build on what you've learned. Melo's spatial canvas lets you arrange research visually, and AI helps you synthesize across sources.
What is research organization?
Research Organizationis more than a feature — it's a way of working. Most tools claim to offer research organization, but they bolt it onto rigid structures that don't match how you actually think. Melo approaches it differently: a spatial canvas where your research organization 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 research organization setup becomes a visual workspace that you navigate spatially — the way your brain naturally organizes information.

Why Melo for research organization?
Most research organizationtools 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 research organizationwithout you having to explain context. And because everything is local-first, it's fast, private, and always available — even offline.
