Installation

Instant Access via Web Browser

To use Nova directly online without downloading anything, open your usual web browser. Enter the address of your workspace to instantly access the web app. This method requires no installation and works on all operating systems.

Installing the Dedicated Software on Windows

Download the lightweight installation file designed for the Windows operating system. Run the executable locally; the process does not require any system administrator privileges or permissions. A shortcut will be automatically created so you can launch Nova with a single click.

Installing the PWA on iPhone and iPad (iOS)

Open the Nova website using only the Safari browser on your iOS device. Tap the share icon in the browser menu, then select the "Add to Home Screen" option. The Progressive Web App will then install like a native app, without going through the App Store.

Creating and Logging In to Your Account

The first time you launch Nova on one of the platforms, sign in or create a free account. This unique ID allows you to link your various access points together. It provides a secure connection for syncing your notes and projects.

Verifying Initial Synchronization

Once you're signed in, let Nova perform the initial sync of your space. Your existing documents and lists will load automatically in just a few seconds. You can now switch between devices with ease.

Configuring Offline Access

To ensure your content remains available even without an internet connection, open the app for the first time while connected to the internet. The Nova ecosystem automatically caches your essential data. You're now ready to work anywhere, even completely offline.

Usage Guide

Advanced Note-Taking and Organization

Nova's rich-text editor lets you shape your ideas with great freedom. You can format your text, add hierarchical headings, and organize modular paragraphs to suit your needs. It’s the ideal tool for writing meeting minutes or summaries of complex projects.

Managing Dynamic Checklists

Turn your notes into real action plans with interactive checklists. Each item can be marked as complete with a single click or tap on your touchscreen. Progress updates are displayed instantly to all project participants.

Real-time collaboration and adding friends

Encourage your colleagues or friends to join your shared workspaces to collaborate more effectively. The tool lets you invite members with just a few clicks and work on the same document at the same time. Everyone’s presence and edits appear in real time, making for a remarkably smooth workflow.

Smooth operation in offline mode

When you're on public transportation or in an area without network coverage, continue working as usual. Write new notes, check off your daily tasks, and edit your documents without interruption. Nova saves every action to local storage until you reconnect.

Seamless transition between your devices

Switch from your Windows PC at the office to your iPhone on the go without losing your train of thought. The seamlessly synchronized ecosystem ensures that every change made on one device is reflected everywhere. You’ll find the same work environment no matter which screen you’re using.

Check out our selection of practical tips and tricks to optimize your experience with Nova 1.0.1. These recommendations will help you make the most of cross-platform synchronization between Windows, the web, and iOS. In particular, you’ll learn how to maximize the efficiency of working offline and simplify the organization of your shared projects. Put these suggestions into practice to save valuable time every day.

Tips

Plan your trips by opening Nova before you leave

Before traveling to a location without an internet connection, open your app on iOS or Windows. This ensures that the latest version of your projects is cached locally for optimal offline access.

Make the Most of Checklists for Team Meetings

During your collaborative sessions, create a shared checklist to assign tasks in real time. Each participant can check off their goals as they are completed, and everyone can see the progress.

Install the PWA on iOS for one-tap access

By adding Nova to your iPhone's home screen via Safari, you remove the web navigation bars. This gives you a much more immersive and faster full-screen workspace.

Deploy Nova on corporate PCs without admin privileges

If you're working on a restricted computer, simply run the local Windows installer. It runs in your user folder without requiring any approval from the IT department.

Centralize your personal and professional ideas

Create separate spaces within Nova to keep your personal projects and professional tasks distinct. You’ll have a single tool while maintaining a clear organization and keeping your data separate.

Let the synchronization take place when the network connection is restored

After working offline for an extended period, reconnect your device and wait a few seconds. Nova automatically uploads your accumulated changes to the server for your colleagues.

Prioritize web access on third-party computers

If you need to view a document on a friend's computer or at a library, just use a web browser. You'll have access to your entire account without needing to install any apps.

Organize Your Documents Using a Modular Approach

Feel free to break up your long notes into separate blocks of ideas with clear headings. This method makes your collaboration easier to follow for your friends who are working with you in real time.

This troubleshooting section is designed to help you quickly resolve common issues encountered with Nova 1.0.1. Whether you have questions about installing the PWA on iOS, syncing after reconnecting to the network, or accessing the app on Windows, you’ll find practical solutions here. Each issue is accompanied by step-by-step instructions to restore full functionality. Follow these instructions to continue your work without any hassle.

Troubleshooting

⚠️ My notes that I edited offline aren't showing up on my other device

Make sure the device on which you made the changes has reconnected to the Internet at least once. Automatic synchronization requires brief network access to send the updated data. Once the connection is restored, the other device will receive the update instantly.

⚠️ I can't find the "On the Home Screen" option on my iPhone

Be sure to use only the Safari browser to open the Nova website on iOS. Other third-party browsers on iOS do not always allow you to install a Progressive Web App directly. Tap the share button in the middle of the Safari menu to find the option.

⚠️ The Windows software won't install

Make sure you are running the installation file that corresponds to your Windows system. Although the application does not require administrator privileges, ensure that your antivirus software is not blocking writes to the local user folder. You can also try the web version if the problem persists.

⚠️ My friends aren't receiving invitations to collaborate

Check the address or ID you entered when sending the invitation in your Nova account. Also make sure your colleagues have already created their free accounts on the platform. Ask them to refresh their app or web page to see the shared project appear.

⚠️ Simultaneous changes made by two users appear to overlap

This can happen if one of the collaborators is experiencing significant network latency. Allow the connection to stabilize for a few moments so that the real-time synchronization system can realign the text. To ensure the best experience, avoid editing the exact same word at the same time.

⚠️ The Nova web app seems to be slow to load in my browser

Update your web browser to the latest version to ensure optimal compatibility with modern web technologies. You can also clear your browser's temporary cache or try the dedicated PWA or Windows software version.

⚠️ I can't check the boxes on my list in offline mode

Make sure the page or app was loaded properly before the connection was lost. If the app is open, the checkboxes remain responsive and record your clicks locally. They will be permanently saved on the server as soon as the network connection is restored.

⚠️ The app's interface on iOS includes unwanted navigation bars

This issue occurs if you use Nova as a regular tab in Safari instead of using the PWA. Close the tab, click "Share," then select "Add to Home Screen," and launch Nova from the newly created icon on your home screen. The interface will then appear in full screen without an address bar.

Check the system requirements to run Nova 1.0.1 optimally on your devices. Designed to be particularly lightweight and smooth, the software uses very few hardware resources, whether on a PC or a mobile device.
