Draw, distance, route, go. Here's the whole flow, calm and unhurried.

A real recording — draw, pick a distance, get a loop.

How it works

Four calm steps, start to finish

No setup, no target to hit but your own. Circle a place, pick how far, head out.

01

Draw an area

Circle anywhere on the map — a park, a block, a whole new city.

02

Choose a distance

5, 8, 10, or 15 km. Pick what feels right for today.

03

Grove sketches a loop

A route to follow, drawn to fit inside the area you drew.

04

Head out & look back

Track your outing, then see each stretch against your past self.

Features

A gentler, smarter way to move

AI route generation

Grove has generated a 5.3 km loop with 5 checkpoints inside the area you drew
Placing your own checkpoints on the map: a start, three stops and a finish

Or place your own checkpoints

Prefer full control? Tap to drop a start, the points to pass, and a finish — Grove links them in your order and times each stretch. Perfect for a route you already love.

Start → your points → finish Reuse saved routes
Segment splits compared with your own best: several checkpoints marked as a new best

Checkpoint splits

Automatic per-segment times, compared to one person: you, last time. Most read "on pace" — and when you beat your own record, that's the one moment Grove celebrates.

Gold shows up here, and nowhere else.

Beautiful share cards

Turn an outing into a clean image — drop in a photo from the way, or keep it plain. Distance leads, time and pace stay quiet, a small Grove mark signs it off. Made to share, calmly.

What makes it Grove

Principles, not numbers

We'd rather tell you what we believe than show you a wall of stats. Here's what Grove is — and isn't.

No leaderboards. Ever.

Measured against yourself, never the crowd. No rank to climb, no one to catch.

Runs and walks, equal.

A walk counts as much as a run. Grove speaks in outings, not in who's fastest.

You vs. your past self.

Gentle, segment-by-segment progress. A slow day isn't a failure — it's just an even, steady pace.

Yours, and unhurried.

Every outing free, forever. Your routes and health data stay yours — we never sell your location.

Why we built it

"Built for people who'd rather grow than compete."

Grove started with one frustration: every app turned a quiet walk into a race. So we built the opposite — where the only bar to clear is the one you set last time, and a slow, happy outing still counts.
