Nova is a code editor from Panic built as a true native Mac app, so it feels fast and familiar from the first launch. It combines a strong editor with a built in terminal, Git tools, local preview and publishing features that upload your site without a separate transfer app. Common web languages work out of the box, extensions add more, and the interface stays clean enough for daily work on large projects.
