“How many emails from Acme last week?” gets an exact count from Gmail. Cove shows the search it used and lists the newest matches.
Less noise. More space for the work that matters.

Cards you can act on
Nothing is added, saved or sent until you choose.
- EventsA date, the time, where it saves and an availability check. Add to calendar, Edit or Not now, with Undo once it’s added.
- Your first free time“Block the first free 10 minutes tomorrow for focus.” Cove checks your actual calendar and proposes the earliest open slot. It doesn’t guess, and it doesn’t ask you what time.
- DraftsTo, Subject and a preview, saved in Drafts. Review & send opens the composer. Cove never sends on its own.
- Memories“Remember that I prefer morning meetings” shows exactly what was kept, with Undo.
A calendar you can drag
Drag on empty space to create an event of that length. Drag an event to move it, even to another day, or drag its bottom edge to resize. Undo is right there, and events with guests ask first.
Tasks from your email
Jev spots promises and requests in mail you send and read. Approve, and they land in Google Tasks with a link back to the email.
Ask Cove, inside the email
A small ✦ opens Ask Cove right where you’re reading. Ask for a reply and the draft lands in the reply box.
Tidy many at once
“Archive these” or “label everything from Maya” shows the exact emails first. Nothing changes until you approve, and Undo is there.
Important and Other
Your Inbox splits what needs you from newsletters and notifications. One click teaches it a sender.
Unsubscribe and Spam
One-click Unsubscribe for newsletters, confirmed first. A Spam folder with Not spam and Report spam, and images stay off.
Write with AI, inline
A ✦ above Send rewrites, shortens or fixes the whole draft or just what you selected. You apply it when it reads right.
Set up in one place
Connections shows what’s ready and what’s next: your AI account, Jev, Calendar and Tasks, each one click away.
Encrypted on your Mac
Mail is stored encrypted on your Mac, one record per email. Keys stay in the macOS Keychain, with optional Touch ID.

Agents work your inbox
for you.
Give each one a job in a sentence. When new mail fits, it files it, drafts a reply for you to review, or tells you. Nothing is ever sent for you.

Describe it.
Cove builds the steps.
No rules to write. Say what you want the way you’d ask an assistant, check the steps, then try it on your recent mail before it runs.
- 1Describe the job
- “When a supplier sends an invoice, file it under Finance. If it’s overdue, draft a polite reply.”
- 2Check how it works
- Each step reads as When → Then → Says. Open one to change it.
- 3Try it, then turn it on
- See what it would do on the last two weeks of mail. It runs on new emails only, and you can pause it anytime.
Unclear emails wait in Activity for you. Agents never send, delete or pay.
Private by design
Local first.
Yours, not ours.
Cove is a Mac app, not a web service. Your mail goes from Gmail to your Mac and stays there, encrypted.
How Cove handles your data →Your mail lives on your Mac
Cove downloads your mail from Gmail and stores it on this Mac, encrypted one email at a time. The keys stay in the macOS Keychain, with optional Touch ID. There’s no Cove server in between.
Sign-in stays between you and Google
You sign in through Google in your browser, and Google hands access straight back to Cove on your Mac. Disconnect or revoke it anytime.
You choose the AI
Writing and Ask Cove use your own ChatGPT, Claude or API account. Only what a request needs goes to the provider you pick. Jev and agents send email to TypeSafe, and only after you add a key.
Cloud sync is off
Cove works fully on your Mac. Optional cloud sync is off by default. If you turn it on, it copies recent mail to Cove’s servers, and you can remove that copy anytime.
For teams on Google Workspace
Bring your organization’s Google client.
Your admin registers Cove in your own Google Cloud project as an internal app, then pastes the Client ID and secret in Cove under Add work account. Sign-in runs on your organization’s client, not Cove’s. Everyone in your Workspace can use it, nothing has to be approved by Google, and your admin can revoke it anytime.
With your own client and cloud sync off, Cove runs no service of its own: just your Mac, Google, and the AI you choose.

In Cove, choose Add work account and paste the ID and secret.
