WHY GROVE Most nutrition apps make you log every calorie, every macro, every micronutrient just to track one thing. Grove is built around fiber specifically. Whether you're dealing with bloating, IBS, supporting your gut microbiome, eating high-fiber for GLP-1 digestion, or just fibermaxxing your way into 2026, Grove gives you the simplest way to track it. A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER I built Grove because I couldn't find a fiber tracker that wasn't either bloated with features I didn't need or dead simple but ugly. So I made the one I wished existed. If something's not working for you, tap the chat bubble at the top of Today and message me right in the app. I read every message.

Your gut has been trying to tell you something. Forage helps you listen. Most people get about 15g of fiber a day. Your body needs 25-38g. That gap affects your digestion, energy, bloating, and how you feel every single day. Forage makes closing that gap simple, personal, and... dare we say... kind of fun. TRACK FIBER WITHOUT THE FUSS Log what you eat in seconds. Search thousands of foods, scan barcodes, look up restaurant meals, or just type a number. No calorie counting, no macro math. Just fiber. YOUR PERSONALIZED FIBER RANGE Forage calculates a fiber range tailored to your age, gender, diet, and health goals. If you're working up from a low baseline or managing gut sensitivity, the app ramps your goal gradually so your body can adjust comfortably. WATCH YOUR MUSHROOM GROW Your daily progress comes to life through a growth character that fills up as you eat. Choose from mushroom, tulip, pumpkin, or Christmas tree. It's surprisingly motivating to watch it grow. LOG YOUR GUT, TOO Track bowel movements with Bristol stool types, plus daily check-ins for gas, bloating, and energy. This is the data that turns Forage from a simple counter into something genuinely useful. DISCOVER FOOD PATTERNS (PRO) This is where it gets interesting. Forage looks for foods that show up more often before your better — or worse — gut days. See which foods correlate with less bloating, better comfort, or more consistent stool. These are clues, not diagnoses, but they're clues most people never get. SEE YOUR TRENDS OVER TIME (PRO) View your fiber intake, comfort scores, and stool consistency across weeks, months, or a full year. See how often you land inside your fiber range and what happens when you do. BUILD MEALS, SCAN BARCODES (PRO) Combine ingredients into reusable meals. Scan any barcode to pull fiber data instantly. Search restaurant menus from thousands of chains. Save time logging the foods you eat most. WHAT'S FREE Everything you need to build the fiber habit: full food catalog, manual entry, daily fiber progress, mushroom character, stool logging, daily check-ins, streaks, 7-day analytics, and unlimited pinned favorites. WHAT'S PRO Food pattern insights, extended analytics (1 month and 1 year), trends, barcode scanning, restaurant lookup, saved meals, and premium growth characters. Plans start at $1.67/month. DESIGNED LIKE A FIELD JOURNAL Forage doesn't look like a medical app. It feels like a warm, personal notebook — paper textures, hand-drawn separators, handwritten notes, and a color palette that makes tracking feel calm instead of clinical. PRIVACY FIRST Your health data stays on your device. No account required. No server. No data sold. Ever. EULA https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Questions or feedback?
