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 students
Students deal with coursework, research, and study sessions. 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 lets you tile lecture notes, research papers, an assignment tracker, and AI chat on one spatial board. Your entire semester is visible at a glance, and everything stays local on your Mac.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How do students use Melo differently?
Students typically create boards organized around their coursework, research, and study sessions. They tile relevant documents, tasks, web references, and AI chat specific to their workflow. The spatial layout lets them design a workspace that matches how they naturally think about their work.
What makes Melo better than other tools for students?
Most tools force you into their structure — linear documents, rigid databases, or text-only editors. Students need flexibility to arrange coursework, research, and study sessions in a way that makes sense. Melo's spatial canvas adapts to you, and the AI understands your full context.
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.
