What is keyboard shortcuts?
Power users don't reach for the mouse. Melo is designed keyboard-first, with shortcuts for everything: creating tiles, navigating between them, resizing, triggering AI, and managing boards.
Keyboard Shortcuts for creators
Creators deal with content planning, research, and ideation. Melo's keyboard shortcuts is particularly valuable here because it lets you organize this work spatially — seeing everything in context rather than hidden behind tabs and folders.
Melo is a spatial mood board for your mind. Tile reference articles, video embeds, brainstorm notes, and AI chat on one canvas. The AI knows your research context, so it generates ideas that actually fit your content strategy. Pay once, own forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Melo good for creators?
Yes. Melo's spatial canvas is particularly well-suited for creators who need to manage content planning, research, and ideation. The ability to tile multiple content types on one board means you can see everything relevant to your work without switching apps.
How do creators use Melo differently?
Creators typically create boards organized around their content planning, research, and ideation. 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.
Which apps have keyboard shortcuts?
Few productivity apps offer true keyboard shortcuts 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.
