About

Novastart is a desktop operating system that replaces the traditional window-based desktop with an infinite canvas. Users open apps and position them freely, zoom in to focus on details or zoom out to see multiple workspaces simultaneously. Up to 10 AI agents can work alongside the user with their own input devices, and teams can share a single canvas where each member controls their own mouse and keyboard. The system preserves all app positions, tabs and state across sessions.

Who it is for

Individual users seeking spatial desktop organization; teams collaborating in real time; users who want AI agent assistance with multi-step tasks

Process

How it works

  1. 01Download and install Novastart, or use as a web app
  2. 02Create canvases as named workspaces (one for work, one for travel, etc.)
  3. 03Open apps and arrange them freely on the canvas; zoom and pan to navigate
  4. 04Spawn AI agents for specific tasks and monitor their progress
  5. 05Invite teammates to share a canvas; each person maintains their own cursor and input

Distinctive value

What makes it different

True spatial multitasking: unlimited canvas size and window count replace traditional desktop grid limits
Persistent state: every app position, tab, and agent action is saved and restored
Team multitasking without handoff: each teammate drives their own cursor on shared canvas in real time, not screen-sharing video
AI agent integration native to OS: agents run with independent input devices and can be paused or corrected mid-task without restarting
Apps stay live: team members access teammates' running applications directly, not recordings or synced files

What it helps you do

Collaborate on spreadsheets and documents in real time without screen sharing
Delegate tasks to AI agents while maintaining control and oversight
