Meeting Mode
When you start sharing your screen, Cove offers to close your personal apps and browser tabs (Messages, WhatsApp, private tabs…), then brings them back in one click when the meeting ends.
Office documents in sessions
Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents now reopen with your session, including files stored on SharePoint and OneDrive.
More apps reopen their documents
Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Preview and other document apps now come back on the right file, not just a blank window.
Finder folder restore
Finder windows now reliably reopen on the exact folder you had open, even when several are open at once.

Latest, Shipped
Cove in more languages
Cove's interface is now available in French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese, on top of English. Cove follows your Mac's language and you can pick another in Settings.
Finder tabs restore
Finder folders now reopen as tabs in a single window instead of scattered across separate windows.
Cove 1.4.0
In progress
Restore windows to their desktops
Sessions now remember which Mission Control desktop each window was on. On restore, Cove switches desktops and reopens each window where it belongs, and adds desktops if you have fewer than the session needs. Ships as an experimental option first.
Desktop map in session details
Each session shows its desktops and the apps on them. Click a desktop to see its windows, or drag a window to another desktop to change where it comes back.
