Technology you actually own
Nousvara builds focused, private tools with one simple rule: your data belongs to you. Cloud only when it adds real value, no subscriptions you cannot escape, and no lock-in.
Private by default · built for real conditions · honest about what each product does.
The product house
A small family of focused products
Instead of one big product, Nousvara is a house of focused tools. Each solves one real problem and keeps the same promise: your data stays yours.
Swaro
Speech to text & text to speechHold a key, speak, and your words appear at the cursor. Select text and hear it read aloud. Fully offline, on Mac and Windows.
Jigsaw
Photo puzzle game for AndroidTurn any photo into a puzzle and solve it by swapping pieces. Free, offline, and fully open source.
What drives us
The principles behind every tool
Your data stays yours
We do not own or sell your data, and we do not run on advertising. The core of most tools needs no account at all.
Useful without heavy requirements
Good software should work on the laptop you already have, without demanding a constant connection.
Solves one real problem
Each tool starts from a problem someone actually has, often one we hit ourselves, and stays focused on it.
Honest by default
Clear pricing, clear limits, no dark patterns, and no claims before a product is ready for people to use.
Who's behind it
The engineering behind Nousvara
Nousvara was founded by an engineer with twenty years of building connected products end to end: firmware for safety-critical medical and automotive devices, IoT and edge-to-cloud systems, and cloud data platforms that now serve over half a million connected vehicles.
We bring the same discipline to small tools. They're reliable, light on hardware, and they keep your data on your device unless there's a real reason to move it.
Try a tool, or tell us what is slowing you down
Products here start as real problems. If Swaro is useful, try it. If something is missing, say so.
