Most software is rented. Kovina tools are built to be owned, understood, and kept.
Every Kovina application follows a calm, editorial design language — dark mode first, typography-driven, accent of #099019. No cards, no dashboard patterns, no marketing fluff. Software that respects your attention.
Most software today is a subscription — you pay monthly and own nothing. When you stop paying, it stops working.
Kovina tools are different. They are:
- Free and open-source — AGPLv3 or MIT licensed
- Local-first — your data stays on your machine
- Cross-platform — Windows, web, Android, macOS
- AI-agent ready — MCP servers included where applicable
- Privacy-respecting — no telemetry, no accounts required
You can use them today, keep them forever, and modify them if you need something they don't yet do.
| Version | Date | Highlights |
