About

Cove

Features
Read full description

Most cycle apps live in the cloud. Cove doesn't have one. There's no account, no email, no sign-up — and nothing to upload, because everything you log is encrypted and stays on your phone. The only network request Cove ever makes is to Apple, and only if you choose to unlock the doctor's report. Your logs are never part of it. Cove is built for people whose bodies don't fit the textbook — irregular cycles, endometriosis, PCOS, painful or unpredictable periods. Calm, clear, and deliberately not pink.
