Task Management
Task Management on a spatial canvas.
Task management should be simple — see what's due, do it, move on. But most task apps exist in isolation from your notes, documents, and context. Melo puts your tasks on the same canvas as everything else, so you always see your todos in the context of the work they relate to.
What is task management?
Task Managementis more than a feature — it's a way of working. Most tools claim to offer task management, but they bolt it onto rigid structures that don't match how you actually think. Melo approaches it differently: a spatial canvas where your task management 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 task management setup becomes a visual workspace that you navigate spatially — the way your brain naturally organizes information.

Why Melo for task management?
Most task managementtools 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 task managementwithout you having to explain context. And because everything is local-first, it's fast, private, and always available — even offline.
