Mission Brief
Building technology thatnurtures human wellbeing
Nov Pax exists to make attention, biology, and privacy the hard requirements—not the nice-to-haves. Our mission is to align digital life with how humans actually thrive.

Privacy by default
Data minimization, local-first patterns, and consent that actually means something
If we do not need it, we do not collect it. If we collect it, you own it.

Energy-aware builds and sustainable hosting for a calmer internet footprint
Optimized runtimes, lower compute waste, and responsible vendor choices.
