What's next for Cove

Redesigned interface

A cleaner main window, full session detail view, and grid or list layouts.

Light, Dark and System themes

Pick your look, or let Cove follow your Mac automatically.

No more launch permission prompt

Cove no longer asks for "access to other apps" every time it starts.

More reliable Terminal restore

No process popup, and windows reopen on the right display.

14-day free trial

Try the full app before buying, no card required to start.

Alfred integration

Switch, park, save, or open Cove straight from Alfred. Type a keyword, pick a session, done. See how.

Smarter window placement

When your display setup changes (undocking, fewer monitors), windows that would land off-screen are pulled back onto a screen you have.

Ghostty support

Capture and restore Ghostty tabs and their working directories.

Icon transparency

Fix the transparency of Cove's icon on macOS Sequoia.

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.

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.

Windows back on their desktops

Sessions remember which Mission Control desktop each window was on. On restore, Cove goes through your desktops, reopens each window where it was, then brings you back where you started. Works with several displays. Experimental: turn it on in Settings.

Missing desktops added for you

If a session needs more desktops than your Mac has, Cove adds them through Mission Control before restoring.

Desktop map in session details

See which windows go back to each desktop. Click a desktop to highlight its windows, or drag a window onto another desktop to change where it comes back.

Steadier restores

Windows on desktops you are not looking at are saved too, and Cove waits for apps to finish quitting before reopening them.
