Instabridge, a Swedish company, has acquired Nova Launcher and commits to maintaining it actively. The new owners plan to keep Nova stable, compatible with modern Android, and focused on performance and customization. They're exploring sustainable business models including potential ads for the free version while keeping Nova Prime ad-free. Existing Prime purchases will be honored, the price has been adjusted to $3.99 USD, and open-sourcing is being evaluated. The team emphasizes responsible stewardship, minimal data collection, and earning trust through consistent maintenance rather than immediate changes.
