About Nova
Nova is a code editor and IDE built exclusively for Mac, developed by Panic. The software functions as a full-featured development environment that integrates editing, debugging, file transfers, Git management, and publishing into a single workspace. It includes support for multiple programming languages with built-in language server protocol integration, allowing developers to work with Rust, Swift, C/C++, and other languages. The editor offers common developer tools such as a debugger with breakpoints, a built-in terminal, task runners, and live previews for web development.
Nova is written using native Mac frameworks to prioritize performance and battery efficiency. The application supports extensions built in JavaScript, allowing developers to add custom functionality for new language support, themes, syntax highlighting, and code validation. Nova is available as a free trial for 30 days, after which a purchase is required to continue using the full version.
