What is Grove?

Grove is a digital life planner and life organizer for your phone and computer. It starts with a wheel of life: you score eight areas — health, mind, love, family and friends, career, money, home, and fun and growth — and Grove shows where you're thriving and which two areas to tend this month. Each area holds a vision; a vision becomes goals; goals get milestones; milestones become tasks on a day; habits feed the goals. A daily planner page, a five-step weekly review, a monthly reset, a mood tracker and a journal keep it all moving. It works offline, links phone and laptop with a 6-digit code, and has no account or subscription.

What problem does Grove solve?

Most life planners are a stack of separate pages — a habit page, a goal page, a mood page — that never talk to each other, so the big goals you write in January quietly disappear by March. Apps are no better: one for tasks, one for habits, one for mood, plus a Notion template that takes a weekend to set up. A life planner that actually works has to connect the big picture to today, show you which part of life is being neglected, and give you a simple ritual to review and adjust every week. Grove is built around exactly that.

Key features

  • A wheel of life for 8 areas

    Score health, mind, love, family and friends, career, money, home, and fun and growth from 1 to 10 each month. Grove shows your average, a balance score, the change since last time and your two lowest areas as this month's focus.

  • Goals with real steps

    A goal has an area, a target date and your “why”, then milestones and next actions. Progress comes from what you finish, an On track / Needs a push badge compares it with the time gone by, and the next step is always one tap away.

  • Task manager

    Today, Upcoming, Inbox, Someday and Done, with one-line quick add, filters by area, goal and priority, and a star that puts any task into today's Top 3.

  • Habit tracker and routines

    Daily, set-day or X-times-a-week habits with streaks and a 30-day rate — and rest days that never break a streak. Morning, evening and Sunday-reset routines you tick off step by step.

  • A daily planner page

    Top 3 priorities, a time-blocked schedule, today's tasks, habits and routines, a mood, energy, stress, sleep and water check-in, three lines of gratitude and a reflection prompt.

  • Weekly review and monthly reset

    A five-step weekly review — wins, what slipped, a wheel check, next week's Big 3 and an inbox clean-up — and a monthly reset with a word of the month, three intentions and a mood calendar.

  • Mood tracker and self-care

    14- and 30-day trends for mood, energy and sleep, a self-care checklist and “what lifts you”: your average mood on days with each self-care habit compared with days without.

  • A private journal

    A new prompt every day or free writing, area tags, favourites and search — kept on your own devices.

Who is Grove for?

  • Anyone who wants to get their life organized
  • Busy professionals and parents
  • Students and fresh-start planners
  • People tired of complicated Notion setups

Grove is a digital life planner for people who want their whole life in one calm place — not five apps and a pile of notebooks. It runs on your phone, tablet and computer, installs like an app, works offline and keeps everything private on your own devices. You can try the free demo with a sample life before you buy.

The idea is simple: everything you plan belongs to an area of your life. Each area has a vision. A vision becomes goals. Goals get milestones. Milestones become tasks on a day. Habits feed the goals day after day. A weekly review and a monthly reset keep it honest, and the wheel of life shows where you're thriving and where to tend next. That connection is what most life planners are missing.

The wheel of life, scored every month

Grove starts where good coaches start: with a wheel of life. Eight areas — Health, Mind, Love, Family & friends, Career, Money, Home, and Fun & growth — each scored from 1 to 10. You can rename them, change their emoji and colours, and write a three-year vision for each one.

The wheel fills like painted tiles, ring by ring. Grove shows your average, a balance score (how even the wheel is), the change in each area since last month — drawn as a dashed line on the wheel — and your two lowest areas as this month's focus, each with a one-tap "new goal". Tap any area to see its goals, habits, open tasks and score history.

If you've never done one, our guide to the wheel of life explains the exercise, the eight areas and what to do with your scores.

Goals that grow: vision → goal → milestones → next steps

Big goals fail when they stay big. In Grove every goal is broken down:

  • Vision — what a great life looks like in that area, three years from now.

  • Goal — something concrete with a target date and your why, the reason you'll remember on a hard day.

  • Milestones — the stepping stones. Each one is a leaf on the goal's olive branch; reached leaves turn green, and when you mark the goal as reached the branch grows olives.

  • Next actions — tasks small enough to do this week. "Do it today" turns a milestone into a task for today.

Progress comes from what you actually finish. A badge says On track, Needs a push or Past its date by comparing your progress with the time that has gone by, and every goal card shows its next step, so you always know what to do now.

A task manager with a home for everything

Tasks live in five lists: Today (due, overdue and your Top 3), Upcoming (grouped by date), Inbox (no date yet), Someday (ideas you're not doing now) and Done. Quick add takes one line — type and press Enter. Every task can carry a life area, a goal, a due date, a priority and a note, and the star puts it into today's Top 3. Overdue tasks are marked gently and simply carry over; there are no red alarms.

Habit tracker and routines

Habits can be every day, on set days (say Monday to Thursday) or X times a week. Tap a tile once for done, twice for a rest day — a planned day off that never breaks your streak — and three times to clear it. Each habit shows its streak and its last-30-days rate, and a four-week view shows every day at a glance. Habits can belong to an area and feed a goal.

Routines are short checklists you run the same way each time: a morning routine, an evening wind-down, a Sunday reset, a work start-up. Start from a template or write your own, then tick the steps; complete routines keep a streak too.

A daily planner page that's actually kind

The Today page is a full daily planner: your Top 3 priorities, a time-blocked schedule, the tasks due today, your habits and routines, a quick check-in (mood, energy, stress, sleep and water), three lines of gratitude and a reflection with a new prompt every day. A date strip lets you plan ahead or look back, and the whole day prints as a clean planner page.

The weekly review ritual

Once a week — Sunday evening works well — Grove walks you through a weekly review in five calm steps:

  1. Celebrate wins — what you finished this week, plus your own words.

  2. What slipped — move each open task to next week, Someday or done. No judgement.

  3. Wheel check — nudge any area that changed.

  4. Big 3 for next week — with a hint from your lowest areas.

  5. Clear the inbox — every loose task gets a home.

Finishing grows your review streak, and past reviews stay on the Week page with their wins and lessons. The Week page also holds your Big 3, seven days side by side and one intention per life area.

The monthly reset

On the first of the month, the monthly reset asks for a word of the month, three intentions and a short look back. It shows the month's life wheel and numbers — tasks done, milestones and goals reached, habit rate, average mood and journal entries — and a mood calendar where each day is a little tile in its mood colour. Need inspiration? See our list of word of the year ideas.

Mood tracker and self-care

The daily check-in feeds a simple mood tracker: 14- and 30-day trends for mood, energy and sleep, a self-care checklist you can make your own, and "what lifts you" — your average mood on days with each self-care habit compared with days without. It's a pattern, not a promise, but it's often eye-opening.

A private journal

Write freely or answer the day's prompt ("What did you learn about yourself today?"). Tag an entry with a life area, star your favourites and search everything you've written. Your journal stays on your own devices.

Who Grove is for

Grove is for anyone who wants to get their life organized without building a system from scratch: busy professionals, parents, students, fresh-start and new-year planners, and people who love self-improvement but are tired of Notion setups that take a weekend to build. It's gentle by design — no red "failed" marks, no guilt, and rest built in.

A typical week with Grove

  • Monday morning: pick today's Top 3 and glance at your habits.

  • During the week: tick tasks and habits on your phone; add ideas to the inbox in one line.

  • Evenings: a 20-second check-in and a line of gratitude.

  • Sunday: the weekly review — wins, loose ends, next week's Big 3.

  • First of the month: score the wheel and choose a word for the month.

Every page prints as a clean planner sheet with the Grove letterhead — the day page, the week plan, your life wheel and vision, goals, the habit tracker, the monthly reset, wellbeing and the journal. Tasks, goals and your habit log export to CSV, and tasks can be imported from a CSV.

Privacy and devices

There's no account and no tracking. Your plans live in your browser on your own devices. Link your phone and computer once with a 6-digit code or QR and they stay in step, end-to-end encrypted through a relay that can't read your entries. Export a backup file any time.

What you get

  • The Grove app — your private link for phone, tablet and computer, with no limits.

  • A 13-page Start Here PDF — install steps for every device, how to link devices, and every page explained with screenshots.

Good to know

Grove works in any modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox. It doesn't send push notifications; open it when you plan, review or tick things off. It's a personal planning tool, not medical or mental-health advice. If you also want help with time and focus, see our ADHD daily planner, Tempo, and for habits on their own, Hoop.

Grove FAQ

What is a life planner?

A life planner is a planner for your whole life rather than just your calendar. Alongside daily tasks it holds your goals, habits, routines, wellbeing and reflections, usually organized by life areas such as health, relationships, career and money. Grove is a digital life planner that connects all of these.

What's the difference between a life planner and a daily planner?

A daily planner answers "what am I doing today?". A life planner also answers "where is my life going, and is today moving it there?" — with a vision, goals, milestones and a weekly review. Grove includes a daily planner page, but every task can belong to a goal and a life area.

What is the wheel of life?

The wheel of life is a simple coaching exercise: you score eight areas of your life from 1 to 10 and look at the shape. Low areas show where a small change will make the biggest difference. Grove has a wheel of life you score each month, with history and focus areas.

Is Grove a goal planner app?

Yes. Each goal has a target date, a reason, milestones and next actions, and Grove shows whether it's on track. Habits and tasks can be linked to a goal so you can see what's moving it forward.

Does Grove have a mood tracker?

Yes. A daily check-in records mood, energy, stress, sleep and water. Wellbeing shows 14- and 30-day trends, a mood calendar and which self-care habits go with your better days.

Is this a Notion or spreadsheet template?

No. Grove is an app that opens from a private link in your browser and installs on your phone or computer. You don't need Notion, Excel or Google Sheets, and there's nothing to set up — you can export CSV files if you want them.

Can I use it on my phone and my computer?

Yes. Link them once with a 6-digit code or QR and they stay in step — plan your week on your laptop, tick habits off on your phone — end-to-end encrypted. It works offline once installed.

Can I change the life areas?

Yes. Rename any of the eight areas, change its emoji and colour, and write your own three-year vision for each.

Is there a subscription?

No. Grove is a one-time purchase with free updates, no account and no ads.
