Novastart Introduction
Novastart replaces the traditional desktop with an infinite whiteboard. Apps open as windows you can place anywhere on the canvas, zoom into for detailed work and zoom out of to see several projects at once, and saved canvases keep every app, position and tab where you left it. On the same canvas you can run up to 10 AI agents per task, each with its own mouse and keyboard, and watch them work while you keep using your own pointer — you can type a correction mid-run, pause everything or take a window back. Teams share the canvas instead of a screen: every person gets their own cursor, can use a teammate's apps as if they were their own, and the room stays intact when people leave and come back. Novastart is installed as an app and is offered on Free, Pro and Team plans.
Novastart Key Features
Infinite Canvas Desktop
Every desktop app sits on a zoomable, pannable whiteboard, so you can work inside one window or pull back to see whole projects side by side.
Saved Canvases
Separate canvases for work, study, travel, finances or research keep every app, window position and tab exactly as you left it.
Up to 10 AI Agents
Run as many as 10 agents on a task, each with its own mouse and keyboard, and watch them open and drive windows on the canvas.
Step In Any Time
Pause mid-click, type a correction without restarting the run, or take any window back under your own control.
Shared Team Canvas
Teammates join the same canvas with their own coloured cursors, can drive each other's windows live, chat in the OS and see each other's agents.
Novastart Use Cases
- Keep separate canvases for work, a move, a trip or a research project and switch between them instantly.
- Delegate a multi-part task, such as planning a trip, to several agents and supervise them on one screen.
- Replace screen sharing in a meeting with a canvas every participant can actually click in.
- Lay out a spreadsheet, notes and reference windows side by side and zoom in on whichever you need.
