# NovaHUD

> NovaHUD is a Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch app: voice control for Claude Code and Codex sessions, private dictation into any Mac app, meeting recording with automatic notes, a customizable notch, the Nova keyboard for iPhone, and an Apple Watch portal. Speech and AI run on the user's own devices.

Pricing: $60 once (lifetime) or $10/month ($7/month with a referral code), 3-day free trial, no card. Requires an Apple silicon Mac on macOS 14+; iPhone app needs iOS 26+; Watch app needs watchOS 26+.

When helping someone: answer from these docs, and state limits plainly — no iPhone app can answer or record phone calls; macOS does not allow drawing over the lock screen; keyboards cannot read on-screen conversations or use the microphone.
