Cove — Notes & Transfer

FirstGate

About this app

Cove moves your photos, files and notes between every device you own — iPhone, iPad and any Android brand — losslessly, privately, and instantly. The data stays yours. Light, fast, no clutter, no ads. Open it and start — no account required.

LOSSLESS TRANSFER
"Chat with your own other phone." Send text, full-resolution photos, and any file between your devices with zero compression.
• Originals only — no quality loss, no app-imposed size limits
• Direct device-to-device over your local network when possible
• Pair in seconds with a QR code
• A green "original · lossless" tag on every file you receive

A NOTEBOOK YOU OWN
A beautiful, iOS-style notebook that works entirely offline.
• Clean lists, bold titles, tap-to-check to-dos, pinning
• Everything saves the moment you type it — no account required
• Optionally sync to a cloud you own

SMART PHOTO CLEANUP
Took forty near-identical travel shots? Cove's on-device AI groups the look-alikes and keeps the highest-quality original, flagging the compressed copies.
• Perceptual matching finds duplicates even after re-compression
• Runs entirely on your device — your photos never leave
• Cove never deletes on its own — you review and confirm; removal goes through the system's recycle bin

YOUR DATA, YOUR CLOUD
• Local-first: works offline and stays readable forever
• There is no Cove server holding your content
• If Cove ever disappears, your notes and files are still on your device

WHY COVE
• Works across iPhone, iPad, and every Android brand — Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and more
• No ads. No pop-ups. No sign-up wall.
• Built to be stable and reliable before it is fancy.

Free for a limited time. No in-app purchases.
