Newsletter

Short, infrequent, useful.

Get notified when each Cove app launches, when major features ship, and the occasional behind-the-scenes note from a one-person studio. No promo blasts, no tracking pixels.

What you get

  • About one email a month

    Maybe two when an app launches. Often less. We don't send anything when there's nothing to say.

  • Actually useful content

    Real release notes, occasional engineering posts on how on-device AI is built, brief travel and use-case stories from real users. No upsells.

  • Privacy by default

    Your email is used to send the newsletter, period. No tracking pixels, no third-party data brokers, no 'profile enrichment'. One-click unsubscribe at the bottom of every email.
