Build better habits, one day at a time. Grove makes it simple to track your daily routines with a beautiful, distraction-free design β€” no accounts, no subscriptions, no ads. WEEKLY OVERVIEW AT A GLANCE Each habit shows a row of daily dots for the current week (Mon–Sun). Tap any day to mark it complete. Instantly see where you stand β€” no charts or dashboards to navigate. STREAK TRACKING THAT MOTIVATES Watch your current streak grow day by day. Grove also tracks your longest streak ever and unlocks milestone badges at 7, 30, 100, and 365 days. A flame icon and visual card tiers reward consistency. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add small, medium, or large widgets to your home screen. The small widget shows a single habit. Medium displays three habits with weekly dots. Large shows four habits at once. Widgets update automatically β€” check your progress without opening the app. FLEXIBLE GOALS Not every habit needs to happen daily. Set a goal of 1 to 7 days per week for each habit. Grove tracks your progress against your personal target, showing "X of Y days" on every card. MONTHLY CALENDAR Open any habit to see a full monthly calendar view with completion rate, current streak, and longest streak stats at a glance. EMOJI ICONS & COLORS Choose from dozens of emoji icons for your habits. Each habit is automatically assigned a unique color from a curated palette, keeping your list vibrant and easy to scan. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your data never leaves your device. Grove uses on-device storage only β€” no accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no tracking. Your habits are your business. CLEAN, WARM DESIGN A calm cream and warm-toned interface that feels inviting, not clinical. Cards glow brighter as your streak grows, giving you a visual sense of progress. COMPLETELY FREE No paywalls, no premium tiers, no "unlock after 3 habits" limits. Every feature is available from day one. Grove is for anyone who wants a straightforward way to build positive routines β€” whether you're starting a meditation practice, reading more, exercising regularly, or drinking enough water. Download Grove and start growing today.
