What NOVA Terminal is
NOVA Terminal is a coding assistant for 64-bit Windows, macOS, and Linux computers. Its NOVA CLI reads a project, carries out requested coding work, checks the result with the project’s tests, and reports what happened. It can fix bugs, build projects, modify existing code, explain code, add tests, and review changes. Persistent context remembers project structure, workflows, and coding history across sessions. Users can choose among five permission modes, while deleting files, installing software, committing, pushing, and deploying always require approval. The product lists chat assistance, a coding agent, codebase indexing, terminal access, and VS Code support. NOVA says it supports more than 160 AI models. The Free plan allows 50 tasks per month. Max costs $15 per month for 500 tasks, and Pro costs $30 per month with unlimited debugging tasks. GitHub integration is listed on Pro and Max.
