Questions, with short answers first.
Getting started
What is Cove?
A calm home base for everything your household has to remember.
Tasks, the calendar, routines, meals, money and decluttering live in one place. Cove, the little companion, nudges you at the right moment: when to start dinner, which task is quick, what's next.
Do I need to download an app?
No.
Cove runs in the web browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app.
What do I need to start?
An email address.
Set up your household at app.craftdreamsco.com. No card, no download.
Do I have to set everything up myself?
No. Cove starts you with a starter pack.
Tell setup what kind of household you are (just you, two of you, a household with kids, someone you help, or a shared house) and Cove loads a starter pack to match: a few routines, repeating home jobs like testing the smoke alarms, money categories and declutter spots. It's only there to get you started. Everything in it is fully editable, and you can clear the whole pack in one tap.
Can I bring in my calendar?
iCloud, yes. Google Calendar, not yet.
iCloud calendars sync into Cove, repeating events included. Google Calendar isn't available yet.
Pricing and trial
How much is Cove?
CA$5 a month or CA$40 a year. With Budget, CA$7 a month or CA$60 a year. Plus tax.
There are two plans. Cove has everything except Budget, the household budget planner. Cove + Budget has Budget too. Either price covers everyone in your household, on every device, and the free trial includes Budget.
Do I need a card for the free trial?
No.
You get 30 days of everything, free. We only ask for payment if you decide to subscribe.
What happens when my 30 days end?
Nothing is charged.
If you haven't subscribed, your household becomes read-only for 30 days: you can still see everything and download it. After that, access pauses. Nothing is deleted, and subscribing brings it all back exactly as you left it.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes.
You keep full access until the end of the month or year you've paid for, and nothing more is charged.
Do you give refunds?
Not once you've paid, apart from a few real exceptions.
That's why the trial is a full 30 days with no card: you can find out properly first. The exceptions are in the refund policy.
Is tax included?
No, it's added at checkout.
Prices are in Canadian dollars.
Family and devices
Who is Cove for?
Any household with a lot on.
When you set up, you choose what your home looks like: just you, a couple, a family with kids, caring for someone, or a shared house. Cove shapes itself to fit.
Does one subscription cover my family?
Yes.
Everyone in your household is included for the one price.
Can my partner use Cove on their own phone?
Yes.
They get their own login to the same household, so you both see the same lists and plans.
Can kids use it?
Yes, especially on the wall display.
Routines show as picture tiles kids can tick off themselves. Each day of finished chores earns a key, and seven keys unlock a prize from their Rewards Closet.
What is the wall display?
Any tablet, turned into the family screen.
It shows today's calendar, routines, dinner and countdowns where everyone can see them. Use a tablet you already own. There's nothing extra to buy.
Privacy and your data
Where is my data stored?
In Canada.
Your household's data is stored in Montréal. A few things are handled outside Canada, like AI features, email and payments. The privacy page explains exactly when.
Do you sell my data or show ads?
No, and no.
Cove is paid for by subscriptions. Nothing else.
Can I get my data out?
Yes, any time.
Download a complete copy whenever you like, including after your access has ended.
Can I delete my household?
Yes.
You can delete everything yourself from Settings.
AI in Cove
Does Cove use AI?
For a few jobs.
It sorts a brain dump into tasks, reads a photo of a recipe or receipt, and can break a big task into smaller steps.
Is my information used to train AI?
No.
We don't use it to train AI models, and we don't let our suppliers do it either.
Do I have to use the AI features?
No.
Everything can be added and changed by hand. The AI only saves you typing.
Is Cove right for me?
Do I need an ADHD or autism diagnosis to use Cove?
No.
Cove is designed with neurodivergent minds, and what helps a neurodivergent brain turns out to help every tired brain. If you have a lot to hold in your head, it's for you.
Will it make me feel bad when I fall behind?
No.
No streaks to break and no walls of red. Anything that slips just shows up with today's list. Cove tells you what's next, not what you missed.
Is Cove a replacement for therapy or medical care?
No.
It's a tool for running a household, not treatment. If you're struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or a professional. In a crisis, call or text 9-8-8.
Didn't find it?
Send us a message and a real person will answer.
Put it down. Cove will hold it.
