Privacy, lock and export

Export, import, and erase

Markdown, JSON, a full ZIP archive, a Day One importer, and a real delete.

Updated 2026-09-07

Your journal should be portable, including away from us. Cove exports in three shapes.

Markdown: readable anywhere, good for archiving or moving into another writing app.
JSON: structured, good if you want to process entries yourself.
ZIP archive: the complete set, with photos and audio included.

Coming from Day One

Cove includes a Day One importer, so years of existing entries can come with you rather than being stranded in an app you have decided to leave.
