Problem

Why it exists

Sharing notifications and everyday content between Android and Mac often requires a cloud account or several disconnected tools.

Solution

Novi connects paired devices directly over the local network. The core notification bridge is free; advanced continuity features are part of Novi Pro.

Notifications, clipboard content and files travel over an encrypted local connection between paired devices; there is no Novi account, content cloud, advertising or behavioral analytics.
