Grove vs Samurai Zen

Make every walk part of a forest only you can grow. Grove turns your daily steps into a living record of your progress. Choose a tree, set a goal, and watch it grow as your steps add up. Reach your goal to see it flourish—then return tomorrow and grow your forest one tree at a time. WALK WITH PURPOSE • Set a daily step goal that works for you • Watch today’s tree grow as you move • See your progress at a glance • Turn on optional reminders to stay on track GROW SOMETHING LASTING • Choose from a colorful collection of trees and plants • Build a forest shaped by your everyday movement • Revisit trees from previous days • Unlock achievements for goals, streaks, steps, and milestones UNDERSTAND YOUR PROGRESS • Explore step totals and walking patterns • Review daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly trends • Follow goal completion, streaks, averages, and personal progress • See how small daily efforts add up over time SIMPLE, CALM, AND PRIVATE Grove works with Apple Health on iPhone. Apple Health access is opt in and read-only. Plant your first goal today.

Calm is trained, not found. Samurai Zen is a quiet meditation app: guided practices, timed breathwork and slow sleep stories, narrated at a deliberately unhurried pace and set against sumi-e ink paintings. WHAT'S INSIDE • Guided practices that run from a short morning sit to a long, slow sleep story — choose by how much time you have • Breathing patterns with spoken cues you can follow with your eyes closed — box breath, 4-7-8, and an energising cycle • An ambient mixer: layer cedar wind, a distant temple bell and night rain beneath the narration, each at whatever level suits you • Download any practice and listen with no signal • One gentle daily reminder, at a time you choose YOUR PROGRESS Minutes, sessions and an honest streak. Five gates mark the path from a first sit to a settled habit. Nothing is inflated — the numbers only ever reflect what you actually practised. PRIVACY, PLAINLY You can use the entire app without an account. Do that and nothing leaves your phone. Sign in only if you want your practice to follow you to another device. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking of any kind. THE IDEAS BEHIND IT The scripts draw on zanshin, the awareness that remains after an action is finished; mushin, a mind that lets thoughts pass without following them; and fudoshin, steadiness that is not rigid. You do not need to know any of this to use the app — sit down, press play, and breathe. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
