Price & paywall
7 days free. Then same Nova, three ways to pay, via Paddle: $3 / month, $15 / year (the one we recommend), $35 lifetime. No Light/Pro split. No packs on this table — packs stay later, à la carte on top of Nova.
Lifetime means this Nova (the current line), not automatically the next master version. A major rewrite may be a paid upgrade. Do not put that on the public page; “this Nova, for as long as you run it” is enough.
License in the main process, fail-open offline, a few days’ grace on monthly if the Mac is offline. Notarize before we take money. Don’t call it uncrackable.
Competition
| Who | Note |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT Mac, Claude Desktop, Apple Intelligence | Cloud brands. We win on offline and confirm-before-write. |
| Raycast | Different product. They sell credits in a launcher. We don’t compete on that page. |
| Superwhisper, Granola | One job. We’re the rest of the desk. |
| Rewind / Limitless | Gone after Meta, Dec 2025. |
| M1K3, Impulse, Jack | Closer on local. Thinner on calendar and everyday tools. |
