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 remote workers
Remote Workers deal with async collaboration and daily planning. 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.
Melo gives remote workers a single spatial workspace for the day. Tile your calendar, task list, meeting notes, and active documents on one board. AI can summarize your workspace for standup updates. Local-first means it works even when your internet doesn't.
1.Working from home means more apps, more notifications, more context switching
2.Daily standups require gathering status from five different tools
3.Hard to maintain focus when your workspace is spread across browser tabs
4.Meeting notes, action items, and follow-ups end up in different places

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.

Create tiles, resize them, navigate between them, and trigger actions — all from the keyboard. Designed for flow state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Melo good for remote workers?
Yes. Melo's spatial canvas is particularly well-suited for remote workers who need to manage async collaboration and daily planning. The ability to tile multiple content types on one board means you can see everything relevant to your work without switching apps.
How does Tiling Workspace work in Melo?
