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.
Tiling Workspace for consultants
Consultants deal with client deliverables, research, and project management. Melo's tiling workspace is particularly valuable here because it lets you organize this work spatially — seeing everything in context rather than hidden behind tabs and folders.
Create a board per client engagement in Melo. Tile deliverables, research, meeting notes, and AI on one canvas. Switch clients by switching boards — each with its own spatial context. Local-first means client-sensitive data never touches a third-party server.
1.Each client engagement requires a completely different set of documents and context
2.Deliverables, research, meeting notes, and timelines live in separate tools
3.Confidential client data passes through multiple cloud services
4.Context-switching between client projects destroys deep thinking time

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.

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

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.
Is Melo good for consultants?
Yes. Melo's spatial canvas is particularly well-suited for consultants who need to manage client deliverables, research, and project management. The ability to tile multiple content types on one board means you can see everything relevant to your work without switching apps.
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 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.
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.
