A project of Red7en, LLC โ€” Cybersecurity

Your books, kept private.
Encrypted. Local. Yours alone.

The security model

Treated the way a cybersecurity company would

Notova treats your financial records as encrypted, isolated, and under your sole control.

๐Ÿ”’
AES-256
Database encryption at rest
Local-only storage No cloud sync No telemetry Offline capable Audit trail
Your data, your responsibility

Total privacy comes with total ownership

Since nothing is stored in the cloud, safekeeping your data is on you.

โš ๏ธ Please read carefully

You're solely responsible for backing up your bookkeeping data. Keep regular, encrypted backups somewhere safe.

Red7en, LLC is not responsible for data loss โ€” from hardware failure, accidental deletion, or a lost device.

There's no backdoor and no recovery service. If your password is lost, the data cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

On the roadmap

What's coming to Notova

Planned, not yet available โ€” details may change.

โญ๏ธ

Skip scheduled bills

Skip one occurrence of a recurring bill without disrupting the rest of the schedule.

๐Ÿ“Ž

PDF attachments in email

Attach the printable invoice or statement as a PDF, instead of an in-body summary.

Download & install

Run it entirely on your own computer

Free for 30 days, full features, no account. After that, a one-time $99 license keeps editing unlocked for good โ€” reports and exports keep working either way.

Current version: 1.7.1 ยท Windows & Mac.
The version you have installed appears at the bottom of the sidebar inside Notova.
Already running Notova? Install straight over it โ€” no need to uninstall first, and your books, backups, licence and settings are untouched. Notova never phones home, so it cannot tell you when a new version is out โ€” check this page occasionally for updates, or install from the Microsoft Store below and updates arrive on their own. Email support@red7en.com should you have any questions.

โฌ‡ Windows (installer)
๐Ÿ›’ Windows (Microsoft Store)
โฌ‡ Mac (.dmg)

๐ŸชŸ Windows users โ€” you may see a warning the first time. Notova is newly published, so Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen. Your PC is doing its job; nothing is wrong with the app.

  1. Click More info.
  2. Check that the publisher reads Red7en LLC โ€” it will, because the installer is digitally signed.
  3. Click Run anyway.

This happens because Windows tracks how many people have installed a publisher's software, and Notova is new. It stops on its own as more people install it. Only ever click through a warning like this for software you trust โ€” if the publisher is not Red7en LLC, the file is not a genuine copy, so delete it and download again from this page.

๐Ÿ’ก Rather skip all that? The Microsoft Store version above installs without any warning โ€” Microsoft signs it themselves. Same app, same licence, same $99. Use whichever you prefer.

๐ŸŽ Mac users: open the .dmg, drag Notova to Applications, and double-click. macOS shows one routine confirmation that the app was downloaded from the Internet โ€” check that it names Red7en LLC, then click Open.
