Features

Fast, private, and it keeps up with you.

Everything Hovra does is in service of one thing: keeping the things you need for right now within reach, then getting out of the way.

Fast

At the notch in a keystroke. No window to hunt for.

Private

Local-first. Your files stay on your machine; connections are opt-in.

Intelligent

App-aware. It switches workspace as you switch what you're doing.

Temporary

Things clear themselves. Pin the few that should stay.

In detail

What you can do with it.

A workspace at the notch

One keystroke drops your staging area at the top of the screen. It's always in the same place, never a window to find.

App-aware switching

Hovra watches the foreground app and switches to the matching workspace automatically — Design for Figma, Development for your editor, and so on.

Temporary by default

Items you drop in expire on their own after a set time. Pin the handful that should stay; everything else clears itself.

Search across everything

Find any file, link, or note you've staged — across every workspace — from a single field in the notch.

Keyboard controls

Open, add, and switch workspaces from global shortcuts. Your hands stay on the keyboard.

Multi-monitor

The notch follows your active display, so your workspace is always where you're looking.

Local-first

Your files and notes stay on your machine. Any connection to an external service is opt-in, never the default.
