introducing an implementation of notational velocity

nvnv
stores and
retrieves
notes.

It is an attempt to loosen the mental blockages to recording information and to scrape away the tartar of convention that handicaps its retrieval. The solution is by nature nonconformist.

01

Your notes should
feel like reflex.

nvnv keeps search, creation, and writing in one continuous motion. No folders to tend. No save button to remember. No tiny database holding your thoughts hostage.

think → type → found

B

Find—or make

Jump to a match. No match? Press Return and the query becomes a new note.

Keep moving

Write in plain text. nvnv saves automatically, quietly, and safely.

02

Unique
characteristics.

Four principles.

MOUSELESS INTERACTION

Keyboard input
above all else.

nvnv's window was designed for keyboard input above all else, and thus has no buttons.

DATA INSTEAD OF DOCUMENTS

No save
button.

There is no manual “saving” in nvnv; all modifications take effect immediately.

MODELESS OPERATION

Search is the
interface.

Searching for notes is not a separate action; rather, it is the primary interface.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Four ideas,
one interface.

  • 01 modeless operation
  • 02 incremental search
  • 03 mouseless interaction
  • 04 data instead of documents

03

Your thoughts.
Your machine.
Your business.

nvnv watches your files, plays nicely with external edits, and keeps its index disposable. Your notes outlive the app—as they should.
