One workspace, four parts

The image workflow,
kept together.

Start with a prompt. Watch the real queue. Find the result when you need it again.

01 / CREATE

Make the image

Describe the result, set size and quality, then send a render into Nova's queue.

PROMPT · SETTINGS · RENDER
02 / CHAT

Think it through

Chat in text mode, then choose Image when you want to turn an idea into a render.

TEXT FIRST · IMAGE BY CHOICE
03 / QUEUE

Know what is happening

See actual queued, rendering, completed, failed, and interrupted request states.

DURABLE REQUEST HISTORY
04 / LIBRARY

The operating notes

Your studio stays yours.

A

Saved on this Mac

Drafts, saved prompts, queue history, and generated images live in Nova's local workspace. Organization-managed installs may also sync to a private archive.

B

Use supported providers

Nova uses the credentials and model access available to your account. It reports provider errors directly and does not substitute sample art.

C

Install the release for your Mac

NOVA is signed, notarized, and stapled for Apple Silicon and Intel. Open the matching DMG, drag Nova to Applications, then launch normally. In 2.0.1 and later, choose Nova → Check for Updates… or enable automatic checks in the Nova menu. Updates wait for active requests and unsaved edits. If you have 2.0.0, install the current release once to enable native updates.
