Roadmap

What we've built.
What comes next.

Latis is built in stages. A stage only counts as done once it passes a hands-on checklist on a real Mac, not just the automated tests.

Done

  • Self-diagnosing NovaSources on every answer, Turn Details and a check that flags contradictions.OCT 2026
  • Understands how people talkNova handles casual, spoken-style phrasing, the groundwork for voice.OCT 2026

How a stage ships

Nothing moves to Done until it's proven.

  1. 01
    Written plan
    What it does, and the open questions answered first.
  2. 02
    Built on its own branch
    Kept apart from the working app until it's ready.
  3. 03
    Automated tests
    The full suite of 1,400+ tests has to pass.
  4. 04
    Hands-on checklist
    Every acceptance check, run by hand on a real Mac.
  5. 05
    Marked complete
    Only then does it move to Done on this page.
Decided against

A roadmap is also what you say no to.

  • An always-listening microphoneNot even one that listens whenever Nova is open. The mic is on only while you hold the key.
  • A required cloud accountLatis works on your Mac without signing up for anything.
  • Features that only look impressiveThat's why the Graph view went. If something costs memory and helps no one, it goes.
