Everything 0.2.0 bringsSix layouts for your quotes, invoices and credit notes. Classic, Editorial, Side band, Swiss, Soft cards, and one with a large band across the top of the page. Your colours and logo apply to each, on screen and in the PDF.
An A4 preview in Settings › Paper. A sample quote shows the chosen layout with your colours and logo, before you even save.
A third theme, Stellaris. The colours of Nova Stellaris, with light effects when you hover cards, buttons and lists.
The app is now called Spark. The new name appears everywhere, in the app and in the emails.
A look aligned with nova-mind.cloud. Light and dark themes recoloured, cerise main button, Nova in violet, Inter and Poppins fonts.
This month. The Home tab shows what you’ve dictated since the start of the month (speaking time, dictations, words) and the estimated cost of transcription. The figures stay on your machine, with twelve months kept.
Anonymous statistics, if you want. A card asks you once whether Novaddict may send the monthly totals, to help us set a fair price. Off by default, and never the dictated text or your key. The switch is in the Advanced tab.
The length of each dictation is measured by the badge, whatever the audio format: the history now shows it on Linux too.
A new interface in Nova Mind colours: night background, smoked-glass cards, cerise buttons.
Settings in four tabs. Home, Dictionary, Appearance, Advanced.
Your shortcut shown as keyboard keys, editable in one click.
Dictation history. The last 20 stay on your machine. The “Last dictation” card copies any of them again, even if pasting failed.
A new dictation badge. Dark glass, a status dot (cerise while listening, violet while transcribing, red on error) and a timer.
The “Updates” card in the Advanced tab: the installed version and a button to check for a new one.
Settings from the command line. “novaddict --settings” opens the settings without going through the system tray.
On Hyprland, the badge no longer grabs the keyboard. What you type during a dictation goes to your window, and pasting no longer depends on focus coming back. Esc still cancels the dictation.
Less memory when idle. The settings window only exists while it’s open: about 90 MB less.
Lighter uploads on systems without compressed recording: audio is sent at 16 kHz, three times less data.
If pasting fails, the badge says so and the text stays on the clipboard.
A coffee with Nova. A first conversation to get to know each other: Nova builds your constellation as you talk, then suggests her own settings. Each coffee opens in its own tab, which closes when you finish.
Full-screen Settings. Like Messages: the groups of settings on the left, the page in a card, and “Back to Nova” (Esc).
Self-service sign-in and password reset. Everyone can sign in and reset their password on their own. The licences page is clearer.
Claude in Chrome. A switch in Settings › MCP lets Nova drive your browser.
Banking in Spark. Nova reads your bank accounts and transactions in Spark, creates a missing account, and uploads a statement exported from your bank (CSV or Excel). Spark files the transactions; nothing is reconciled without you.
“… is typing” in Messages. When someone is typing a reply, you see it at the bottom of the conversation, with three animated dots. It also works with someone from another silo, and on your phone.
“Sort this out”. When a concern weighs on Nova’s mood, one click starts the work that resolves it, and Nova marks it resolved once it’s done.
Messages moves to the top. An icon next to the bell shows unread messages and lets you reply quickly. Messages opens full screen, with warmer colours.
Claude replaces Gemini. The welcome message, titles and overnight memory now run on Claude Haiku, and the wellbeing safeguard on Claude Sonnet. An Anthropic key is all you need: the Gemini key is no longer required. The voice medallion still replies with Claude Haiku.
Nova’s updates now keep only important or urgent emails, instead of every email received.
Messages. Write to your team without leaving the app: one to one, in a group or in a project’s discussion, with files or a file from the Drive. No one else reads a conversation, not even the administrator. Messages arrive live, on Nova mobile too.
Guests in Messages. A client or partner writes only to the people chosen for them, and joins a project’s discussion if the team adds them.
“@Nova” in a conversation. Your request goes to your own conversation with Nova, with the latest messages for context. Others only see that you asked her something. Nova can also write a message for you, which is sent once you give the go-ahead.
Silos. Two linked installations let their teams write to each other, from one company to another. One administrator requests the link, the other accepts it, and each chooses who their silo shows. Settings › Company › Silos.
Every alert has its level. Info, useful, important, urgent or heart: Nova says why, and the level sets the shape and colour of the card.
Living Nova. She keeps a train of thought, tidies up her day overnight, prepares your meetings with outside contacts and learns from your reactions. Her mood is calculated from facts and shows in her portrait, with six outfits per mood. Settings › Nova › Living Nova.
A wellbeing safeguard. Nova tracks your working hours, shows you your week and talks to you when several signs of fatigue add up. Settings › Nova › Wellbeing.
My PC on Nova mobile. From your phone, see what your computer is doing, reply to Nova, start or stop a job, with your fingerprint for each action.
Close a conversation. The flag in the input bar: Nova sums up, keeps the essentials in memory and suggests follow-up tasks. The conversation is marked “closed” in History.
The dictation orb. It follows your voice, and its colour changes with certain words: a question, a thank you, something urgent. Your words appear as you speak.
A lighter input bar. A single button for notes and tasks, and a shorter session badge (bars for effort, a chip for the mode).
Your message is sent straight away. It no longer waits for the server: Nova’s updates are read in the background.
Nova’s mood when you hover over her avatar, which is bigger in the thread, with a ring in the colour of her mood.
Tabs can be dragged with the mouse, as in a browser.
Long conversations stay smooth. Typing stays fast even with the whole history expanded, and when Nova works for a long time in a tab.
Images in the thread load faster. The app keeps a small copy of each image, made only once: a conversation full of images opens without slowing down.
Switching tabs is instant. The conversation in the chosen tab replaces the other one in one go.
You choose who the medallion hands over to. In Settings › Voice: Never, Flash 3.8, Haiku, Sonnet or Opus. On “Never”, the conversation stays fast and Nova offers to hand over when the request is a big one. A button in the thread changes the choice for one conversation, and you can also say “hand over to Opus”.
The Guest role. A guest has their own address book and email styling, without the company Drive.
An address book: the Contacts page keeps the people and companies you work with, for the whole team. When you say “write to Emmanuel”, Nova looks there first, and asks you which one if two entries match.
Nova suggests new entries: after an email from someone who isn’t in the address book, a card offers to add them. Nothing is saved until you click.
A project’s client: in a project, the Client tab fits on one page. You choose the entry the project bills; its people, with their roles, and its quotes and invoices appear below.
Address book and billing linked: an entry links to a client in Spark, or creates one. It then shows what the client owes you and their documents. In Billing, a client’s page leads to their entry and their projects.
Documentation: your account menu opens the app’s user guide, page by page, with screenshots. Nova also uses it to answer your questions about the app.
Search everywhere: the command palette searches projects, pages, settings and conversation history. The drive also searches the text of files Nova has read.
Your projects in your order: in Settings, System, Projects, you sort your projects by hand and hide the ones you no longer use. The task menu and the Projects page have a search.
Billing with Nova: Nova finalises a quote or an invoice, records a payment, enters a purchase with its receipt and reads the month’s VAT return in Spark. Sending a document to a client always waits for your click.
Project page: four tabs at most, Tasks, Files, Client and Code, which fit beside the conversation. Epics are in Tasks, settings behind the cog.
Attachments: a file you pick, drag or paste now reaches Nova, and @ lists the project’s files. “Read aloud”, “Regenerate” and “Sign out” do what they say.
Same words everywhere: “Companies” and “People” in Contacts, Projects and Billing.
Very large screens: the app starts at 125% for more readable text. A size you’ve already chosen is kept.
Two status dots no longer blink endlessly, which eases the load on the processor when the window is in the foreground.
The Forge: describe a need to Nova and she builds a new capability for your computer, for example connecting to one of your services. You follow the build in a card, try it out, then switch it on yourself.
The Forge stays under your control: your key goes into the system keychain and Nova never sees it. The code only touches the sites and folders it declares. Nothing runs without your consent, and modified code is switched off until it’s tested again.
The Forge follows you from one computer to another: a capability you switch on is kept on your installation’s server. On another computer, you install it in one click from the Forge page, enter your key again, try it, then switch it on.
Settings, Forge page: everything extra Nova can do on this computer is in one place, alongside the tools (MCP) and skills you already had.
Instructions from your phone: an instruction left from Nova mobile arrives in the alerts, under the “Instructions” tab. Nothing starts until you launch it yourself.
A smoother window: looping animations put far less load on the processor. Choose the effects level in Settings, Performance: full, calm or reduced.
Permission card: it takes up less space, with its buttons at the top right.
While Nova is writing a round of questions or an email draft, a waiting card appears instead of the raw text.
Nova Build’s step bars are in solid colours.
The dictionary. Preferred words, passed to the model so it spells your proper names correctly, and corrections applied after transcription.
Your voice level, as a picture. Four styles to choose from (bars, dots, curve, filled area) and an animated preview.
The Photon gradient on the visualisation: cyan next to the mic, violet, then cerise.
A wider settings window, for screens with enlarged text.
On Hyprland, the badge appears on the screen you’re working on, above the dock.
Nova reads the drive: she searches the files you’ve uploaded (notes, PDF, Word) and cites the one her answer comes from. In the drive, each file shows whether Nova knows it.
Questions in a card: when Nova has several multiple-choice questions, she asks them in a card you scroll through. You answer with a click, no typing, and “Why?” explains her suggestion.
For administrators, a “Nova reads the drive” setting, with the number of files read and a list of those that can’t be read.
Nova sends your emails: she shows the draft in a card, you read it over, and it goes out from the installation once you give the go-ahead, with a template in your company colours.
Emails to stop flagging: in Settings, you filter email alerts by words in the subject or by sender. Each email alert also has a “Stop alerting me about this sender” button.
Two conversations on one project: you can open a second one without closing the first.
History: each conversation gets a clear title, written automatically, and the status shown is the real one.
Up to 7 tasks at once instead of 4. When there are lots of tabs, the bar scrolls with Shift and the mouse wheel, or with the touchpad.
A tab for the medallion. When you hand a big job to the medallion, it goes into a separate tab. It no longer lands in an unrelated conversation.
Choose the medallion’s model. In Settings › Voice: Flash-Lite 3.5, Flash 3.8 or Haiku, with the reasoning level for each. Haiku replies on its own and sends real development work to the medallion’s tab.
Ambient sounds in the medallion: rain, waves, lo-fi background, when your computer has Lofi Focus.
One terminal access per computer. Renewing one computer’s access no longer cuts off the others, and the app requests a new one by itself if the server rejects it.
Hidden tabs waiting for your reply or done with their work light up the edge of the bar.
Synced notebook. Your notes follow you on all your computers, and you can write offline.
Labels on notes and tasks, with search and a filter.
“About” screen with this changelog.
A calmer thread. Nova’s reasoning and small tool calls fold into a single line.
Haiku 5.5 replaces Haiku 4.5 in the model picker.
Project management. You can create a project, add a folder, rename it or remove it from the list.
Charts in Nova’s replies.
Mock-up workshop and A4 documents with PDF export.
First release of Nova Stellaris 3. New interface, a server per installation, Nova’s memory on your server.
Signed automatic updates, and releases for Windows, macOS and Linux.
The dictation badge in the brand colours.
A configurable shortcut set by simply pressing the keys, plus the system shortcut on GNOME Wayland.
Nothing matches. Try another word, or another product.
Nova updates herself. You get every release on the day it comes out.
