incove: Private Video Diary

No public feed. No followers. No likes.

incove is a private video diary for the people closest to you. It's not a record made to show people — it's a record made to keep. Every video you shoot is saved to your own timeline first, and each time, you decide who gets to see it.

■ Capture today's little moments
Record a short video whenever the mood strikes. There are no hourly notifications pushing you to post. The moments you capture, pressure-free, stack up neatly on your own timeline and become a daily video diary.

■ For our eyes only
There is no recommendation algorithm, no stranger matching, and no follower count. Videos and messages are visible only inside the circles people join by invitation, and they don't travel further than that. It's a private social space where the things that make you hesitate before posting simply aren't here.
The contents of your videos and messages are end-to-end encrypted on your device (RSA-3072, AES-256-GCM, Argon2id) before they're stored, and the key that opens them lives only on your device. incove's servers can't open them. That said, information essential to running the service — like your account details or circle membership — isn't encrypted. Location data (EXIF) is stripped from photos and videos when you upload them.
When you switch to a new device, you can move the key over from your old one, or restore it with a recovery key you set up in advance. If you have neither your old device nor your recovery key, the videos and messages you left before can't be brought back — so please keep your recovery key somewhere safe.

■ Decorate a home that's just ours
Add stickers, emoji, and text over the videos you filmed and the videos you shared, and dress them up in your own style. Size, rotation, and layering are all yours to adjust. What you decorate on unshared videos is yours alone to see; what you decorate on shared videos, your circle sees together. You can also set one of your own photos as a home background. It becomes a space you'll want to open every day.

■ Look back on the past with Afterglow
Weave the moments you've gathered into a single short recap video — grouped by any span you like, such as today, this week, or this month. The days that slipped by become scenes you'll want to revisit. You can export an Afterglow you love as a video to keep for a long time. Even without making something grand like a vlog, your memories record themselves.

■ Echo — words that open on the day you choose
Seal a video and a message today, and they come back on the very day you set: anywhere from one day to five years out, six months by default. Before that day arrives, not even the sender can open it. Like a time-capsule letter to your future selves, you lock away how today felt.

■ Virtual accounts, for those who can't film
Register a baby who can't hold a camera yet, a dog or a cat, or a parent who can't film for themselves, and record on their behalf. Each account keeps its own timeline, so you can build an Afterglow of just theirs or of everyone together. You can also leave a future Echo addressed to them.

■ Your own record, always yours
Every video you record is saved to your own timeline first. Which circle to share with is your choice, and even if everyone who was there leaves, your record stays just as it is.

■ No ads. Ever.
We believe ads have no place in an app that holds your memories. incove has no ads, and it never will.

■ Who it's for
· People tired of social media who still want to keep a record
· Anyone who'd rather their photos never reached a public feed
· Anyone who wants to share videos only with the people closest to them
· Anyone keeping a pet's days somewhere of their own
· Anyone who wants to send today to their future self

With family, with friends, with the people closest to you — gather today's small moments in a cove of your own.
