Nova is a native macOS code editor built by Panic, designed for web development and general-purpose coding. It emphasizes speed and native performance by being written entirely from scratch in native Apple code, avoiding the bloat of web-based editor frameworks like Electron. The app supports syntax highlighting, code completion, integrated Git workflows, a built-in terminal, and a rich extension ecosystem. It is popular among freelance web developers, agencies, and professionals who want a responsive, lightweight alternative to Visual Studio Code or other heavyweight editors while staying completely native to the macOS experience.
