Kovo: Chat, Mail, Kalender

With Kovo, you have your company's chat and video calls, email, calendar, tasks, documents, time tracking, and receipts all in one app. Kovo is designed for small businesses. If you work for multiple companies, you can see them all in one view with a single account. The app is available in German and English. TODAY The home screen shows your time clock, upcoming appointments, due tasks, and what's new for you. The search function finds chats, emails, tasks, appointments, and files across all your companies. CHAT AND VIDEO CALLS • Channels, groups, and direct messages, with your favorites at the top • Replying to threads, reactions, editing, deleting, and @-mentions • Sending photos, videos, and files • Marking messages as "Important" or "Urgent" or scheduling them for later • Read receipts and "currently typing" status • Video calls from within the chat, no recording, servers located in Germany EMAIL Your company mailboxes, including shared ones like info@, and your personal mailboxes. Read, reply to, forward, and compose new emails with signatures and attachments. Filter for unread, flagged, and with attachments; pull down to retrieve new emails. Reply to meeting invitations directly in the email; attach a file with a tap as proof. The app only loads external images if desired. CALENDAR All company appointments in one calendar, each of which can be hidden. Views: list, day, 3 days, and month; on tablets, also week. Create appointments and recurring events, invite colleagues and external guests, and see who is available. Your own calendars, such as family or club calendars, are accessible across all companies. Connect your iCloud calendar; changes are synchronized in both directions. A widget displays upcoming appointments. TASKS "My Tasks" gathers all your tasks across all companies and organized by deadline. Projects are displayed as a board, column by column on your phone and side-by-side on your tablet. Tasks include assignees, deadlines, priorities, checklists, attachments, and comments. DOCUMENTS Company files, project files, and your own files are organized into folders. Upload, rename, move, and share files. Edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents directly in the app if your company uses the Office suite. TIME TRACKING Clock in and out, take breaks, select your company (also via widget and on the lock screen). View week and month with actual, target, and time balances. Request vacation, report sick leave, and see who is absent from your team. If your company has enabled it, Kovo will save your location once when you clock in and out; otherwise, it will never be saved. RECEIPTS AND FINANCES Submit receipts as photos or files, even without access to the financial system. If you paid yourself, mark it as such and receive a notification as soon as the money is transferred. Those responsible for finances can use the app to retrieve transactions from the bank account, confirm access to invoices and accounting data on their phones, and submit the preliminary VAT return to ELSTER. If your company has enabled it, Kovo will save your location once when you clock in and out; otherwise, it will never be saved. NOTIFICATIONS Push notifications for direct messages, mentions, calls, invitations, and tasks; reminders before appointments and when your time clock has been running for 10 hours. New emails are displayed according to your email rules. What you read on your computer is also marked as read on your phone. These notifications can be disabled, set to a quiet period, and displayed without the message text, if desired. SECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION • Your phone is the second factor: Confirm with fingerprint or facial recognition instead of an authenticator app. • Unlock with fingerprint or facial recognition. • Servers at Hetzner in Germany, operated by 3hundert60 GmbH from Amberg. • No advertising, no tracking. • Delete your account directly in the app. MOBILE PHONE AND TABLET On tablets, the list and content are displayed side-by-side; a sidebar provides access to all sections. WHAT YOU NEED You need a Kovo account with a company to use the app. Your company will invite you via email or send you an access letter with a QR code. You create your account in the app. You manage your company, members, roles, mailboxes, and email rules in your browser. Questions and help: hallo@kovo.team
