Local-first by design

Privacy

Nova Browser is being designed as a standalone, local-first browser product. The prototype does not depend on nov-assistant.com and does not include telemetry.

Desktop preview

The desktop prototype stores workspace and tab state locally on your machine. It is intended for early testing, not production-critical browsing yet.

Extension data

The companion extension currently stores captured pages and selections locally in Chrome extension storage. Native desktop handoff will be explicit and user-controlled.

Future services

If cloud sync, accounts, or AI APIs are added later, they will be documented here before release with clear controls and opt-in behavior.
