Every app started as an irritation.
We've worked on Macs for years. Novantia is what happened when we stopped waiting for someone else to fix the small things that slowed us down every day.
- Hover over the Dock and still not know which window you'll get: DockPeek
- Text in a video that you simply can't copy: TextLift
- One typo in a PDF, and the fix needs a subscription: PDF Kit
- What bugs you?
A Mac, and a list.
Novantia didn't start with a business plan. It started with a list of small things that went wrong every day, in apps we otherwise loved using.
We tried what was out there. Some of it was excellent. Much of it turned out to be a website dressed up as an app, wanted an account before it did anything, or had turned a handy tool into a monthly bill.
So we started building. In Swift, on Apple's own frameworks, the way a Mac app should feel: it opens instantly, stays out of your way, works from the keyboard, and you forget it's there until you need it.
How a Novantia app comes about
- 1
Something rubs
A thing that costs us, or you, a few minutes every day.
- 2
We use it ourselves first
The first version runs on our own Macs, every working day, long before anyone can buy it.
- 3
You tell us what's missing
Testers and users write in. Every email lands with the people who write the code.
- 4
It lands in an update
What makes the app better goes in. Free for everyone on version 1.
Look under the hood
The things Mac people check first, in one window.
