Feature

Tiling Workspace

Every tool you need, tiled on one canvas.

What is tiling workspace?

Most people work with 5-9 apps open at once — notes, browser, calendar, task manager, AI chat. That's 5-9 windows to manage, 5-9 contexts to juggle, and dozens of app switches per hour.

Melo's tiling workspace puts everything on one canvas. Tile your notes next to a web page. Put your calendar alongside your task list. Drop an AI chat next to your research. Resize and rearrange tiles as your work demands.

This isn't window management — it's workspace design. You're not just organizing windows; you're designing an environment that matches how you think about your current project.

Key benefits

1

Everything visible

No hidden windows, no tab hunting. Everything you need is tiled on one canvas, visible at a glance. When you can see it all, you can think clearly.

2

Context preservation

Each board preserves your tiling arrangement. Switch between projects by switching boards — your context is exactly where you left it.

3

Diverse content types

Tile notes, todos, web pages, AI chat, clipboard history, and calendar. Mix content types freely to build the workspace your project demands.

4

Keyboard-driven

Create tiles, resize them, navigate between them, and trigger actions — all from the keyboard. Designed for flow state.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Tiling Workspace work in Melo?

Tiling Workspace is built natively into Melo's spatial canvas. It's not a plugin or add-on — it's a core part of the workspace that integrates with your notes, tasks, AI, and other tiles. See the feature details above for specifics.

Which apps have tiling workspace?

Few productivity apps offer true tiling workspace the way Melo does. While some tools have partial implementations, Melo's version is deeply integrated into a spatial canvas with full AI awareness and local-first architecture.

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.

Is Melo free?

Melo is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no recurring fees. Pay once and own it forever. There's no free tier, but you get the full product with a single purchase.
