QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — niva supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
QGIS from the command line: write concise text-pipeline geoprocessing flows (no PyQGIS coding) and run them in a dock.
About
QGIS from the command line. A concise, readable text-pipeline grammar for QGIS geoprocessing (load … | buffer 100m dissolve | save …) that stands on PyQGIS, but for people who don't write PyQGIS. Reach ~878 QGIS Processing algorithms through ~45 friendly verbs (or `run` any algorithm by id), across vector, raster, point clouds and databases. This plugin adds a dock where you write or open a .niva flow file and run it in the current QGIS session; results land on the map. The same grammar also runs as a standalone command-line tool and REPL (pip install qgis-niva). niva is bundled with the plugin (zero-dependency, pure Python), so there is no separate install step on Windows, macOS, or Linux. It runs in-process on QGIS's own Python and Processing algorithms and can run without QGIS itself even running (batch jobs).
