Cove saves your complete Mac workspace as a named Session — apps, window positions, browser tabs, terminal directories, Finder paths, even your Focus Mode. One click and it all comes back exactly where you left it. Native adapters for Safari, Chrome, Arc, Terminal, iTerm, VS Code, Xcode, Slack & more. Auto-detect suggests the right Session as you work. 100% local, no cloud, no tracking, no subscription. $9 launch (reg. $19), one-time, 14-day refund. — Alex, solo indie dev
I built Cove because I was losing 10 minutes every time I switched between client projects on my Mac. Every "switch" meant closing tabs, hunting for the right files, reconnecting terminals, dealing with the wrong Focus Mode still active.
Cove introduces a single primitive — a Session — that captures your complete workspace: apps, windows, browser tabs, terminal working directories, linked Reminders/Notes, and your macOS Focus Mode. One click and it all comes back exactly where you left it.
What's inside: • Native adapters for Safari, Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Terminal, iTerm, Finder, VS Code, Xcode, Slack • Auto-detect : suggests the right Session as you open apps • Templates : reusable workspace blueprints • Focus Mode integration via Shortcuts • 100% local storage — no cloud, no tracking, no subscription • Auto-updates signed with EdDSA via Sparkle
A few things I'd love your feedback on : 1. The Session model — is the metaphor clear? 2. The pricing — feels right for an indie tool you'd use daily? 3. Adapters you'd want next : Spotify, Notion (the desktop app), Things, anything else?
I'm here all day to answer questions, and if anything looks broken just drop me an email — same-day reply.
The save/restore metaphor is exactly right, I switch between 3–4 client contexts daily and the 10-minute reset is real. Love that it's a one-time payment. Congrats on the launch!
The demo video sold me on the concept. The "Session" metaphor is crystal clear, it's basically a save state for your entire working context, which is exactly what context-switching kills.
One question: any plan for a Windows/Linux version, or is this intentionally Mac-only long term?

between client projects on my Mac. Every "switch" meant closing
tabs, hunting for the right files, reconnecting terminals, dealing
with the wrong Focus Mode still active.

your complete workspace: apps, windows, browser tabs, terminal
working directories, linked Reminders/Notes, and your macOS Focus
Mode. One click and it all comes back exactly where you left it.
