Description

Brand new, ultra-fast and flexible, with all the essential features you need: intelligent autocomplete, multiple cursors, minimap, editor overscroll, tag pairs and bracket matching, and much more beyond that.

The Nova app doesn't just help you write code. It helps your code actually run. You can easily create and execute tasks for your projects. We didn't have these in the Coda application, but now they are fully available. These are customizable scripts that can be triggered at any time using toolbar buttons or convenient keyboard shortcuts.

For the curious ones: Nova mac editor has built-in support for CoffeeScript, CSS, Diff, ERB, Haml, HTML, INI, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Less, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, SCSS, Smarty, SQL, TSX, TypeScript, XML, and YAML.

It is also highly extensible, featuring a robust API and a built-in extension browser for adding even more capabilities.

(Here's a fun little behind-the-scenes story about the editor. During beta testing, we discovered certain bugs in Apple's text layout engine that we simply could not work around or fix. Our solution? Writing our very own custom text layout manager... completely from scratch. This not only resolved the bugs entirely, but it also significantly boosted our editor's overall performance. We definitely don't sit around doing nothing when it comes to the Nova download experience on Mac!)

But even the best text engine in the entire world means absolutely nothing if you don't genuinely enjoy spending your time inside the application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nova free?
Please check the developer's website for current pricing information.
The program is damaged or the file isn't working? Are there other problems?
Please read the installation instructions on the Download page carefully before proceeding. Additional help can be found in our article: Errors when installing applications on a Mac.
How do I update the app? Will my activation be affected?
Official updates can break activation unless the installation guide states otherwise. Download the latest version and install it over the existing one — this typically preserves your settings and activation.
How do I get the file? The download link isn't working. What does a .torrent file mean?
For large files, using a dedicated download manager like FDM is strongly advised. Chrome or a download manager handles file hosts much better than Safari. If the file ends in .torrent, you will need a torrent client such as Transmission. Some hosting sites may be blocked in your region, so a VPN could be required.
A newer version is out. When will the site be updated?
The site administration does not create or patch software. Updates are submitted by independent contributors when ready. How soon a new build appears depends on when someone prepares and uploads it.
Can I request an application? Where do I submit requests?
Neither the administration nor the editors build or patch software themselves. You can support the project and submit app requests through donation comments.
How can I switch the interface language?
Go to System Settings → General → Language & Region → Applications → "+", pick the app, then choose your preferred language. For Adobe products, language is typically selected during installation. Most games have a language option inside their own settings menu.
What is the right way to remove an app?
Use a dedicated tool such as App Cleaner & Uninstaller for a thorough cleanup. For Adobe software, the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool ensures a fully complete removal.
Looking for assistance?
Paid remote support is available on the site (through AnyDesk, Zoom, or Skype) to guide you through installing apps on Mac or PC.
