Novi: Android–Mac Ecosystem

About this app

Your Android phone and Mac no longer have to live in separate worlds.

Novi brings them into one private, connected rhythm—so the notifications, text, files and controls you need can move naturally with you.

NOTIFICATIONS THAT BELONG ON YOUR MAC

See Android notifications as native macOS notifications. When the source app supports it, reply from your Mac, dismiss the notification on your phone, or open the related app on Android.

ONE FLOW ACROSS YOUR DEVICES

Novi Pro expands the experience beyond notifications:

• Copy text between Android and Mac
• Send text, images, PDFs, ZIP files and other supported files in either direction
• Find and ring your phone from your Mac
• Control vibration, ringer mode, Do Not Disturb and the flashlight where supported
• Search local notification history
• Build advanced filters and smart routines
• Route notifications and transfers across multiple paired devices

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE

Novi communicates directly between your paired devices over the local network. Your notification content, clipboard text and files do not pass through a Novi cloud.

• No Novi account
• No ads
• No analytics or behavioral tracking
• Encrypted local transfers
• Secure QR-based pairing
• Certificate pinning and authenticated requests
• Local histories that you control and can delete

THE CORE EXPERIENCE IS FREE

Use Novi Free to pair one Android phone with one Mac, forward notifications and use supported notification actions.

Novi Pro unlocks multiple devices, notification history, clipboard sync, file transfer, phone controls, advanced filters, automations and routing. Choose a monthly, yearly or lifetime option in Google Play. One verified Android purchase also activates Novi Pro on paired Macs; no separate Mac purchase is required.

WHAT YOU NEED

• An Android phone and a supported Mac
• Novi installed on both devices
• Both devices connected to the same local network
• Notification Access on Android and notification permission on macOS
• Additional permissions only for the features you choose

Android allows clipboard reading only after a direct user action. Some notification replies and actions depend on support from the app that created the notification. Phone controls depend on Android version, device hardware and granted system permissions.

Different systems. One rhythm.
