Apps that work together

The result of one app is the starting point for the next.

  1. 01

    Results land in nopa Files

    Merge a PDF, remove a background, transcribe a recording — most results are saved to nopa Files automatically instead of getting lost in Downloads, and the rest you can save there in one tap. Come back a week later and they are still there.

  2. 02

    Drag between windows

    Open two apps side by side and drag a file from one window onto the other. Or right-click any file and pick “Open with” — a converted PNG goes straight to the background remover.

  3. 03

    Suggested next steps

    Open a file and nopa offers what fits: split, merge, or compress a PDF; convert or watermark an image; format JSON; transcribe audio. One click opens the app with your file loaded.

nopa Files — on this device

A file manager in the browser. Everything stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Folders, search, and previews

Grid, list, or columns. Press Space for a quick look, type to jump to a file, drag to move.

Stored in your browser

Files stay on this device, in your browser. Close the tab, come back tomorrow — everything is where you left it.

Open in the right app

Each file offers what fits: a PDF can split or compress, a photo can convert or remove the background, audio can transcribe.

Backup you can take with you

Export a full backup from Settings → Data and import it on another device. Your data stays yours.

Details that feel like a real desktop

Not a pile of tabs — windows, a Dock, and shortcuts that stay out of the way until you need them.

Windows you can move and resize

Drag them anywhere, snap two side by side, or minimize to the Dock. Work in more than one app at once, like on a real computer.

A Dock with your favorites

Pin the apps you use daily so they are one click away. Whatever is running shows up there too, so you never lose a window.

Drag a file onto an app

Drop a photo on the background remover, a PDF on the splitter. Or right-click a file and pick “Open with” to send it to the right app.

Suggested next steps

Open a file and nopa offers what fits — split a PDF, convert an image, transcribe audio. One click and the app opens with your file ready.

A command palette

Press ⌘K or Ctrl+K to jump to any app or file by name — no hunting the Dock. It is the fastest way to move around.

Right-click the desktop

A new note, task, or link, or upload a file — straight from the desktop, the way a real operating system works.

Install it like an app

nopa is a Progressive Web App. Add it once — it opens in its own window, works offline after the first visit, and can receive files from other apps where your browser allows.

Its own window

No address bar or browser tabs — just nopa. It looks and feels like a desktop app, not a website.

Offline after the first visit

After the first visit the desktop and its apps are cached in your browser, so they open even with no connection.

Open with & Share

On supported devices you can share a file from another app straight into nopa, or set nopa as the app that opens it.

On your home screen & Dock

The nopa icon sits next to your other apps. Tap it and it opens the desktop right where you start.

Save back to the same file

Open a text file from your computer, change it, and save it back to the same place — no second copy in Downloads. Works in Chrome and Edge on a computer.

Yours, on this device

No account, ever

No email, no plan, no daily cap, and no watermark on anything you make. Nothing to cancel later, because there was nothing to sign up for.

Your data is in your browser

Notes, boards, and Files live in this browser’s storage, not on our servers. Export a full backup from Settings → Data whenever you want to move it or keep a copy.

The honest catch

Because everything is local, clearing your browser data or uninstalling nopa deletes it — back up first. Large files depend on your device’s memory, and AI apps download their model once before they can work.

Questions

Is the desktop free?

Yes. The desktop and every app in it are free. There are no paid plans or daily caps.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the desktop and start — no email, no password.

Where are my files stored?

In your browser on your device. Files are not uploaded to our servers unless a specific app says otherwise.

Does it really work offline?

Yes. After the first visit the desktop and its apps load without a connection. AI models, the Sega emulator core, and downloadable emoji artwork are fetched the first time you use them, so those need the internet once.

Can I play music and video?

Yes. The built-in Player handles audio and video — playlists, resume where you left off, speed control. Play from nopa Files or straight from your device, even a large movie.

Can I move my data to another device?

Yes. Export a backup in Settings → Data, then import it in nopa on the other device.

What is a PWA?

A Progressive Web App is a website that installs like a normal app. nopa opens in its own window, works offline after the first visit, and sits next to your other apps — no app store needed.

How do I install nopa?

Use the Install button on this page, or your browser menu. Chrome and Edge show an install icon in the address bar; on iPhone, tap Share and then “Add to Home Screen”.

Open it and look around

The desktop loads in seconds. Drop a file or pick an app to start.
