Control your entire workspace without touching the mouse.
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 remote workers
Remote Workers deal with async collaboration and daily planning. 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How do remote workers use Melo differently?
Remote Workers typically create boards organized around their async collaboration and daily planning. 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.
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 Melo's AI work?
Melo's AI is built into the canvas as a tile. It sees your notes, tasks, calendar, and tiled web pages — giving it full context about your workspace. You can ask it to summarize, draft, brainstorm, or organize, and it responds with answers grounded in your actual work.
Can I use Melo offline?
Absolutely. Since Melo is local-first, your entire workspace works offline. Notes, tasks, canvas arrangement, clipboard history — everything is available without an internet connection. AI features require connectivity.
