How much time do you spend switching between your notes and a browser tab? Web embed tiles let you pin any website directly onto your Melo canvas as a live, interactive tile.
Web Embed Tiles for researchers
Researchers deal with papers, citations, and literature review. Melo's web embed tiles is particularly valuable here because it lets you organize this work spatially — seeing everything in context rather than hidden behind tabs and folders.
Open a journal article in one tile, your notes in another, and AI chat to help you synthesize findings. Melo's spatial layout lets you visually map relationships between papers. All data stays local — your unpublished research never touches a cloud server.
1.Dozens of browser tabs open with journal articles and no way to organize them
2.Literature review notes disconnected from the papers they reference
3.AI tools that summarize without understanding your research context
4.Collaborative tools that put sensitive unpublished research on someone else's server
Key benefits
1
Live web content
Embed any URL as an interactive tile on your canvas. Browse, scroll, and interact with websites without leaving your workspace.
2
Reference alongside work
Pin API docs next to your development notes. Keep a project management board visible while planning. See analytics while writing your report.
3
Persistent layout
Your web tiles persist in your board layout. Close and reopen Melo — your embedded websites are exactly where you left them.
4
Zero context switching
Stop bouncing between browser and workspace. Everything you need is on one canvas, visible at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which apps have web embed tiles?
Few productivity apps offer true web embed tiles 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.
What makes Melo better than other tools for researchers?
Most tools force you into their structure — linear documents, rigid databases, or text-only editors. Researchers need flexibility to arrange papers, citations, and literature review in a way that makes sense. Melo's spatial canvas adapts to you, and the AI understands your full context.
How does Web Embed Tiles work in Melo?
Web Embed Tiles 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 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.
