Terms

Last updated November 9, 2026.

Using Cove

Cove is a private journal for the weeks before a baby and the months after. You may use it for your own family. The public copy of these terms is at https://covejournal.app/terms.

You need to be an adult to use the app. You are responsible for the phone it is installed on.

Not medical advice

Milestones are reminders, not feeding or safety advice. Cove is not a medical device.

Your journal

You own the photos and notes you add. Cove does not claim them. Losing or replacing the phone can lose the journal unless you have exported a copy or restored an encrypted backup with your recovery code.

Cove Plus

The journal, unlimited memories, the basic card template, one letter to your child, and export stay free.

The annual subscription lasts one year. It renews for another year until you cancel it in your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings, at least a day before the period ends. Canceling stops the next renewal. It does not refund the current period, except where the store requires it. The price is the price the store shows before you confirm. The privacy policy and these terms are linked from the subscription screen.

The lifetime plan is a one-time purchase for the Plus features offered with this app. It is tied to your store account and can be restored on a device signed in to that account.

Prices are shown by the store before you confirm. Payment is charged by Apple or Google. Cove does not charge you outside the store and does not see your card.

Acceptable use

Do not use Cove to record someone else’s child without the caregiver’s permission, or to break the law.

The app, as it is

Cove is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, Cove is not liable for lost photos, lost profits, or indirect damages. Some places do not allow those limits, and in those places the limits apply only as far as they legally can.
