Nova is described as a full-featured editor and IDE, and as the next-generation Mac-native editor, written entirely against native Mac frameworks for speed, low memory use and battery life. The everyday features cover an editor with minimap and multiple cursors, a terminal, Git, debugging with a debugging sidebar, console debugging and breakpoints, build and run tasks, and live previews of pages inside the editor, all coexisting in one workspace. Nova can manage language servers and install them for you, supports Rust, Swift and C/C++ without extensions, and allows per-language editor settings. Remote files can be browsed, edited, managed and published straight from the app. The extension API is written in JavaScript, letting extensions add languages, extend the sidebar, draw themes and syntax colours, and validate code.
