NovoDesk 1.0

The friendly dashboard of your Mac

NovoDesk is a native macOS companion that brings readiness, storage, system health, and what deserves your attention into one calm place. It is built for people who want a clear picture of their Mac without turning personal information into a product.

Open NovoDesk to see how this Mac is doing: connected folders and recent files, backup and Time Machine status, hardware and network context, macOS release and update readiness, and optional overviews of Photos, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, and Apple Music when you choose to connect them. Pulse gathers what matters now, upcoming events, overdue reminders, and items sent from Shortcuts, so you can decide what to act on instead of hunting through apps.

Whether you are reconnecting a folder, checking backup readiness, reviewing storage, or glancing at what Pulse surfaced overnight, NovoDesk stays focused, readable, and respectful of your privacy: your desk, your Mac, your choices.
