About

Screen Grove turns your daily screen-time budget into a single tree. Choose the apps, categories and websites that take up too much of your day, and give yourself a budget. As your time adds up, your tree takes chops and starts to tip over. Go over and it's cut down for the day. Every morning a new tree grows. Yesterday's tree joins the grove behind it, standing if you stayed under budget, or a stump if you didn't. Tap any day in your grove to see how it went. Plant real trees with Grove+. Every good day (a day your tree is still standing at midnight) counts toward a real tree, planted by our partner Veritree as mangroves in Kenya and Brazil, with every planting recorded with GPS and photos. Planter plants a real tree every 5 good days, Grower every 2, and Guardian every single good day. • One screen, one tree. No feeds, no streak pressure, no ads. • Exact numbers from Apple's Screen Time, shown only on your iPhone. • Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. • A notification when your budget is reached. • Budget and app changes start the next day, so today's tree can't be rescued by moving the goalposts. Private by design: no accounts, and your Screen Time data never leaves your phone. With Grove+, only your subscription's transaction ID and the dates of your good days go to our server, to count your trees. Grove+ is a monthly auto-renewing subscription.
