## What is Cove?

No ads. No extra purchases. Lifetime access with one purchase.

Cove helps you protect time for the work that matters.

Choose the apps, categories, and websites that pull you away. Set a focus duration, start your session, and Cove uses Apple’s Screen Time technology to keep those distractions blocked until time is up.

When something truly needs your attention, use one 3-minute temporary access break. Cove automatically blocks your selections again when the break ends.

With Cove, you can:

* Block selected apps, categories, and websites during focus sessions
* Apple Watch
* Choose a session from 5 minutes to 3 hours
* Use one 3-minute temporary access break per session
* Review focused minutes, weekly progress, completion rate, and recent sessions
* Try every feature free for 7 days
* Continue with a one-time Lifetime Access purchase—no subscription

Cove works on your device and does not use advertising or cross-app tracking.

Screen Time permission is required for app blocking. Availability of some controls may depend on your device and iOS settings.
