Novabench Command-line Interface (CLI) is available for Windows and Mac. It is included exclusively with the Novabench Pro upgrade.

The CLI provides access to most of Novabench's benchmark tests, outputting results in either human-readable or machine-readable formats. The CLI allows easy scripting or remote access (e.g. SSH) to Novabench tests.
