If we're being honest, Mac apps are a bit of a lost art. There are great reasons to make cross-platform apps — to start, they're cross-platform — but it's just not who we are. Founded as a Mac software company in 1997, our joy at Panic comes from building things that feel truly, well, Mac-like. Long ago, we created Coda, an all-in-one Mac web editor that broke new ground.

Nova was created for Mac users who demand a modern, lightning-fast, and enjoyable coding environment.

Nova sets itself apart with deep Mac integration, a custom text layout engine, flexible workflows, built-in terminals, and a powerful extension API.

It's wild: in the sea of agentic editors that will write your code for you, Nova strictly and defiantly prioritizes the hand-typed.

Finally, a code editor that actually *feels* like a Mac app—tbh, I’ve missed this vibe so much. You can tell Panic gets it, fr.

I love your product! Can you tell be the differences between Nova and Cursor? I can already see that I prefer Nova, but perhaps I missed something :)

Also, I love your main image, the Nova text/logo pops up so much!

I have deep love for all of Panic's work. Nova is no exception, and whenever I need to do Web work, it's gladly that I open Nova. Its flexible splits and custom tasks are hard to do without whenever I find myself in a different IDE.

All is good. MacOS native. But DB management is missing. And would like to have more feature updates.
