Install Kovo
Kovo runs on Windows and macOS. Download it from Downloads on occluze.com and open the installer. On Windows it installs for your user account, and you can choose the folder; on macOS, open the .dmg and drag Kovo to Applications.
If Windows SmartScreen stops the installer, choose More info, then Run anyway.
When Kovo opens, its bar holds one key: Sign in. Click it and occluze.com opens in your browser. Sign in there and click Open Kovo: the browser hands you back to Kovo, which says who you're signed in as and checks your plan. The URL field, Play, W and H then slide into the bar.
A sign-in you don't finish within 15 minutes runs out. Click Sign in to start again.
On Windows, Kovo keeps itself up to date. It looks for a new version when it opens and every few hours, downloads it in the background and installs it when you quit. Once one is ready, an Update key shows at the top right: click it to restart into the new version straight away.
Kovo checks your plan when it opens, every few hours and before each export. Without internet it keeps working for 14 days after the last check, and the account key counts the days down. After that, exporting and AI access wait until Kovo can check again.
