Building tech that nurtures humanity.
Nov Pax exists to make attention, biology, and privacy hard requirements, not nice-to-haves. Sanctuary expresses that mission in one practical loop: work, look away, breathe, return.
What we hold to.
Built around the body.
We design with circadian rhythm, vision, and attention in mind — first principles, not growth hacks. The 20-20-60 reset gives a practical structure to that philosophy.
Your data, your terms.
We collect what we need to make the practice work — nothing more. Session data lives on your device first, in your account second, never in an ad-tech graph.
No dark patterns.
Continuity streaks can mark a rhythm, but never punish. No notifications that beg, no engagement metrics dressed up as wellness. The product succeeds when it helps you recover and return.
A patient build.
Listening
Conversations with clinicians, ergonomics researchers, and knowledge workers about what hurts most.
Building
Sanctuary launched in open beta. Early users shaped the focus loop, breath cues, and tier model.
Stewardship
Deepening accessibility, sharpening the science behind each tool, and growing the room with intention.
