Sync dark mode with your system, the sunrise and sunset, or keep it on permanently. The choice is yours.
🔍 A powerful search system
Nova allows you to search for content in your apps, your contacts, and other services with integrations for your favorite platforms. Additionally, get instant Micro Results for calculations, unit conversions, package tracking, and more.
📁Customizable home screen, app drawer, and folders
Icon size, label colors, vertical or horizontal scroll and search bar positioning just scratch the surface of customization for your home screen setup. The app drawer also adds innovative customizable cards to give you the information you need, right when you need it.

No data is collected from the AccessibilityService, it is merely used to invoke system actions.
This app uses the Device Administrator permission for optional screen off/lock functionality.
This app uses a Notification Listener for optional badges on icons and media playback controls.
