Everything in Novus.
What sits around the plan: a Home that briefs you, a schedule that speaks up on its own, a record of every decision, and somewhere to start from.
Home
Your projects, briefed — and listening.
Home reads every project you’re on and leads with what needs you: decisions waiting, work running late, handoffs this week, tasks gone quiet, time won back.
Ask it anything about your work — typed, or just say “Hey Novus” — and it answers from your schedule, out loud.

Listening
Hey Novus, what needs me today?
Two decisions on the office move — Sam’s new link and the movers’ status. Atlas’s security review is three days late, but slack still protects launch day.
2 tasks are scheduled to begin: Beta build, Help docs
Tomorrow · Engineering, Marketing
Billing API is scheduled to end.
Today · Engineering
3 activities will move October 9.
Waiting on Security review · applied after 1 day
2 activities could start earlier.
Launch page finished a day early
Notifications
The schedule speaks up on its own.
When work is about to begin or end, when an overrun is about to push what comes after it, or when time is won back, the project page says so — raised from the bars themselves, so nobody has to remember to announce it.
Every move waits a grace period you set, so you can act first. Nothing moves without a record.
Records
Every decision, with its reasons.
Statuses, notices and recoveries are kept with who filed them, who decided, the forecast before and after, and what they moved. Filter, search, and answer “why did the date change?” in one click.

Use cases
Product launches
Keep design, engineering and marketing working to one date. When a review or a build slips, see what moves before launch day does.
See the example →
Client delivery
Bring the client into the one task that needs them. Their approvals land on the schedule, and the update they get writes itself from the plan.
See the example →
Construction
Keep trades, suppliers, and inspections connected to the schedule. See how delays affect downstream work and route changes to the right people.

Personal schedule
Run your own week like a project. Bring in your calendar, plan what's next around it, and see what moves when something runs late.

Why I built Novus
A creator’s note on information latency, ownership and why the schedule should move as fast as the work.
