An AI workspace built for ownership.
NovaKit exists because we believe you shouldn't rent access to a chat interface. You should own your tools, control your data, and see exactly what you're paying for.
Our mission
AI tools shouldn't be locked behind expensive subscriptions that obscure what you're actually paying for. The cost of an API call is fractions of a cent — yet most platforms charge $20-50 per month for unlimited access to models you may barely use.
We built NovaKit as a focused workspace where you bring your own API keys, compare models side by side, and keep spend estimates visible as you work. No vendor lock-in, no in-product telemetry, and no monthly fee for the interface itself.
The result is an AI workspace that's calmer, cheaper, and entirely yours — down to the details that most apps compromise on. Your backups are encrypted with a key only you hold. Cross-device sync uses storage you rent. OAuth connections use credentials you register. The installable PWA works offline. App Lock and Panic Wipe give you an out when a device gets sketchy.
What we believe in
Privacy by architecture
Your API keys are encrypted and stored in your browser. Workspace data stays local by default, and provider requests are only relayed when technically required.
Pay for what you use
No $20/month subscriptions for a chat wrapper. Bring your own API keys, pay providers directly, and see exactly where every cent goes.
Full cost transparency
Per-conversation and per-model spend estimates help you understand usage, avoid surprises, and pick the right model for each task.
One-time purchase
The app runs in your browser with zero server costs for us. Your one-time purchase unlocks features forever. No recurring charges, no lock-in.
Calm over feature creep
We design for focus: clean typography, minimal chrome, no notifications fighting for your attention. A workspace that gets quieter the longer you use it.
Built for individuals
NovaKit is for developers, writers, researchers, and power users who want ownership over their AI workflow — not enterprise dashboards they'll never use.

Three steps to ownership
Add your API keys
Paste keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or any of our 13+ supported providers. Keys are encrypted locally before storage.
Build your workspace
Chat across models, compare outputs side by side, build graph-based Prompt Chains, connect MCP tools, upload documents to the knowledge base, and let Memory remember what matters.
Keep it yours
Track real-time spend, install as a PWA for offline access, encrypt backups, and sync cross-device to storage you control — no vendor cloud required.
