Novastart

Novastart is an infinite canvas whiteboard OS: a computer where every app you use, your teammates and your AI agents share one endless, zoomable workspace. A normal desktop gives you one screen and a pile of overlapping windows. On Novastart, every app is a window with its own place on an infinite canvas, so you can open Chrome, ChatGPT, Claude, Word, Excel and your files side by side on one infinite whiteboard. Zoom out to see a whole project at once, then zoom in to work. Nothing hides behind a tab.Novastart brings apps and files onto an infinite canvas where people and AI agents can work together. Each AI agent gets its own cursor and keyboard and works in plain sight on the canvas while you keep doing your own work. You can spawn several agents at once, pause an agent mid-click, type a correction, or take any window back. The agents run on OpenAI computer-use models using your own OpenAI API key. Developers can also build their own agents with the Open Virtual Input SDK in Python, JavaScript or Rust.Novastart also lets you share the workspace instead of sharing your screen. Invite a teammate to a canvas and you both see the same live windows, each with your own cursor, so everyone can point, click and type at the same time. Each canvas reopens exactly as you left it, with every app, position and tab in place, and you can keep as many canvases as you need, such as one for work, one for a trip or one for the household budget. Novastart keeps a hundred steps of undo per canvas, even for closing an app.You keep the apps you already use. Web apps open as real windows, signed in as you, and any site opens in the bundled Chrome. Nothing leaves your machine until you share a canvas, and only the people you invite can see it.Pricing is freemium. There is a free plan, Pro costs $10 per month and Team costs $20 per month. AI agents cost $0.02 per use, starting from $25 or more in credits.Novastart runs on Windows 10/11, on Intel Mac, and on Linux. Run the Novastart app in a window, or install Novastart OS on a PC of its own.Novastart is for anyone whose work spans many apps: founders, operators, researchers, students and small teams, and anyone who wants to put AI agents to work without losing sight of what they are doing. It was founded in 2025 by Thomas Fraher in San Francisco, CA.
