A private study and life companion that plans your days, tracks what you actually know, and talks back — all on your Mac. No cloud account, no subscription, no telemetry.
Three screens from the real app — Nova always reachable with a keystroke, a home screen that tells you what tonight looks like, and a live dashboard for what you know and what's due.
Press ⌘K from anywhere. Nova floats in, answers, gets out of the way.
One card tells you what tonight looks like the second you open the app.
Your Sky, Planner and Behaviour, live and visible at once.
Local AI models, auto-picked per task — nothing you say leaves your Mac unless you turn on the optional cloud brain.
A knowledge graph you can see — every concept marked solid, shaky, or untested, with gentle study sessions on the gaps.
Give Nova an assignment and it breaks the work into steps, then places them on your calendar at the hours you actually learn best.
Say a task is done in plain words and it comes off your plate. Every action it takes is logged and reversible.
Offline macOS voices read replies aloud; hands-free dictation mode lets you talk instead of type.
Each person gets their own Nova with its own memory — nobody sees anyone else’s sky.
Everything Nova knows lives in files you can read and export — one-click backup, one-click move to another Mac.
Bring your own Anthropic key for deeper reasoning when you want it. Off by default, stored locally, never shared.
macOS 13 Ventura or newer (Apple Silicon) · Ollama installed (free — the setup script pulls the recommended models) · 16 GB RAM recommended for the larger local models · First launch needs right-click → Open (the unsigned-app warning is normal for indie software).
