Find what you wrote about it.

Cove retrieves relevant entries and gives excerpts to the local model. Its answer includes links back to the entries it drew from, so you can return to your original words. You can also start a conversation about one entry. Generated reflections are interpretations, not diagnoses or a complete reading of every entry.

Cove’s reflection and search run on the device, but its records can sync through your private iCloud database. The current app uses that database when available and falls back to local storage when it cannot initialize iCloud. There is no app-level opt-in sync switch. Cove does not send journal entries to an Obsidian Ridge Labs AI server.

Yes. The development build supports text, moods, photos, dictation, and saved voice memos. A voice memo you keep becomes an attachment to the entry. Dictation needs supported local speech assets and permission. Capture and writing are included free, with paid options for deeper reflection and longer-term insights.

The planned free tier includes writing, basic entry responses, 14-day mood trends, one Ask conversation credit each week with up to three reply turns, and one eligible weekly-reflection preview. Plus adds recurring weekly reflections, unlimited Ask conversations, all-time trends, deeper insights, and premium prompts. Weekly reflections need enough entries from a completed week.

Cove supports an optional biometric or device-passcode lock. Markdown and JSON exports carry entry content; ZIP also includes available photos and audio. Day One import supports a subset of that format, not every field. Spotlight indexing can be disabled, and saving moods to Apple Health is off by default.

Cove is in development for iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 26, with Apple Intelligence enabled and ready. Watch capture is not being offered as a confirmed release feature. Final compatibility and pricing will be confirmed before release; there is no announced launch date.
