About

Novastart is an infinite-canvas whiteboard OS. Run apps, share canvases with your team, and put AI agents right on the canvas, so your whole workspace lives in one boundless space instead of separate windows. Free plan; Pro $10/month; Team $20/month per user.

Features

Problem
Apps and windows are difficult to keep in view together.
How it works
Place app windows side by side on an infinite canvas and pan or zoom between the detailed view and the whole workspace.
Result
A wider view of project work, with individual windows ready to use.
Why
Keeping related apps visible together reduces the need to switch back and forth.
Problem
Rebuilding the same setup wastes time.
How it works
Save canvases that restore apps, positions, and tabs; organize different kinds of work on separate canvases and folders.
Result
Return to work with its windows and layout in place.
Why
A project workspace can persist instead of being reconstructed each day.
Problem
AI computer tasks can be hard to observe or interrupt.
How it works
Agents use visible cursors to work in real app windows. Users can pause, steer, correct, or take a window back; agents can plan work across helpers.
Result
People can delegate computer tasks while retaining oversight.
Why
Visible actions and user controls make agent work easier to follow and direct.
Problem
Screen sharing makes teammates take turns driving.
How it works
Share a canvas so teammates can see and interact with its live windows from their own computers, with individual cursors and chat.
Result
Multiple people can work together on the same canvas.
Why
Working in the shared workspace lets teammates contribute directly instead of passing control of a screen.
