Navop Desktop

Navop: The integrated development and operations workspace

Bring databases, remote connections, multi-session terminals, and knowledge-base notes into one native workspace. External AI Agents can use Navop CLI Skill to operate authorized resources, while built-in AI stays linked to the current context.

Native desktop experience

Navop uses Rust and GPUI for its native desktop interface, with GPU rendering for a fluid multi-connection workflow and no WebView dependency.

Comparison baseline · v0.8.10

These highlights come from the current Navop source and the changes after v0.8.10, focusing on new workflows users can actually operate.

01

Notes export and local knowledge

Keep troubleshooting notes and working documentation inside Navop, then export a finished document without a separate office converter.

  • Rich text, Markdown, and whiteboard editing
  • Self-contained HTML, PDF, and Word DOCX export
  • Rust WASM exporter and renderer extensions
02

Local terminals and AI context

Choose a local shell profile when opening a terminal and ask the terminal AI sidebar about the active local or SSH session.

  • Platform-aware system shell, PowerShell, WSL, and custom profiles
  • Live terminal context for local and remote sessions
  • Native splits, tab movement, and broadcast input
03

SFTP across remote endpoints

Switch either side of the SFTP workspace between local storage and a searchable server, then copy data directly between remote endpoints.

  • Searchable local and remote endpoint switcher
  • Direct server-to-server file and directory copy
  • Keep path, permission, and transfer checks visible
04

Database and remote responsiveness

Database object menus, stable result scrolling, and incremental RDP/VNC frames make large workspaces easier to inspect and keep active remote sessions responsive.

  • Context actions on database object rows
  • Result tabs with stable viewport scrolling
  • Incremental remote-desktop frames and better VNC recovery
Real product interfaces

Follow real work from connection to execution

Instead of leading with a dense feature list, Navop shows how database work, remote troubleshooting, and result analysis actually happen.

01

Database and SQL workspace

Manage multiple database connections, browse objects, run SQL, and keep an AI Agent beside the active database context.

  • Open tables, columns, views, and functions quickly
  • Keep query results and object structure in one workspace
  • Generate and explain SQL with optimization suggestions
ConnectionsObject browserSQL assistant

02

SSH and remote operations

Keep terminals, file transfer, remote editing, and server troubleshooting inside one connection context.

  • Choose a local profile, then arrange local and SSH terminals with native splits
  • Use the AI sidebar, broadcast input, and grouped quick commands for repeated work
  • Copy directly between SFTP servers, then continue through forwarding, remote desktop, and monitoring

03

AI Agents, Skills, and automation

Use AI Agents beside real connections, query results, and terminal sessions. Navop Skills provide curated context, steps, and boundaries, while Public MCP safely exposes live host tools to built-in and external Agents.

  • Explain SQL, fields, results, and command output
  • Use Skills to standardize resource discovery, tool choice, and troubleshooting workflows
  • Control execution with permission profiles, approvals, and Tool Exposure
