01
One drink feels like starting over
How Grove helps
Nothing in Grove resets. A day with a drink takes nothing away, and Bramble checks in gently to make sure you are safe.
THE CALM SOBRIETY APP
A calm garden for changing your drinking.
Water your plant once a day and answer one question. A day without a drink grows a leaf. A day with one takes nothing away. Grove helps you notice your patterns, ride out cravings and plan for the hard days, with Bramble the hedgehog beside you.
Coming soon: Grove will be its own free app on iPhone and Android, and a program inside Pippa Companions on iPhone. Questions? Email us
Grove
For adults working on sobriety, whether quitting or cutting back, at their own pace.
Nothing ever resets
Nothing is a score
Your notes stay on your phone
No ads or tracking
SOBRIETY
Changing how you drink is hard. Grove makes the hard parts smaller.
Most people who change their drinking do it a little at a time, with good days and harder ones. Grove is built for that: it never counts against you, it helps in the moment, and it plans ahead with you.
02
Cravings come out of nowhere
How Grove helps
Urges rise, peak and pass. Ride one out with Bramble, try slow breathing or grounding, or reach someone from your plan.
03
It’s hard to see how much you drink
How Grove helps
A short WHO drinking check in plain words, and optional drink counting in standard drinks against your own weekly goal.
04
Parties, weddings and Friday nights
How Grove helps
Make a plan for a tricky day and build if-then plans from common moments, so you know what you’ll do before you get there.
05
Doing it alone
How Grove helps
Keep your people one tap away, and share a summary with your care team only if you choose.
Works alongside a doctor, counselor or group. If you drink heavily every day, talk to a doctor before you stop.
HOW IT WORKS
One small thing a day.
Water your plant
Once a day, Bramble asks: any drinks today? Tap an answer. Mood and cravings are there if you want them.
Notice your patterns
Your week adds up into a calm picture: check-ins, drinks if you count them, and what helped. Bramble points things out.
Get through the hard parts
When an urge hits, open Tools: ride it out with Bramble, breathe, or reach your people. Need support is always one tap away.
INSIDE THE APP
A look at Grove.
Real screens from the current build, with sample data.
Your garden
Bramble lives here. Water your plant once a day and watch the garden fill in over time.
One question
Any drinks today? Every answer waters the plant. Mood and cravings are optional.
Know where you are
A short drinking check from the World Health Organization, in plain words. A check, never a label.
Ride out an urge
Urges pass. Sit with Bramble for 5, 10 or 20 minutes while one does.
Daily lessons
One short page a day: standard drinks, triggers, saying no, sleep, stress and more. Each ends with one small thing to try.
Need support
One tap from home: 911, 988, Poison Help, and tools for right now.
WHAT IT DOES
The calm sobriety app.
Built on the techniques with the best research behind them for drinking less: keeping track against your own goal, personal feedback, planning for hard moments, problem solving and finding something else to reach for. Apps like this help people drink less, a little at a time.
A garden that only grows
Every check-in, coping tool and good moment helps the garden grow, and nothing can ever be taken away.
Count drinks, if you want
Tap what you had and Grove works out standard drinks the way NIAAA defines them. See your week against your own goal.
Plan for tricky days
Tricky-day plans, if-then plans and drink-free days, so the hard moments have a plan.
Help in the moment
Ride out an urge with Bramble, slow breathing, grounding, your people and crisis lines, always one tap away.
PRIVACY
Private by default.
On your phone
Check-ins, drinks, notes, your plan and your garden are saved on your phone, not on our servers. Export them any time, and lock Grove with Face ID.
You choose who sees it
Working with a clinic? Connect with a code and choose what they see, one kind at a time. Turn it off whenever you like.
No ads, no selling data
No ads, no analytics, and we never sell data. Notifications never mention drinking on your lock screen.
Need help now? In an emergency, call 911. If you are thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988. For free, confidential help with drinking, call SAMHSA at 1-800-662-4357, any day.
FAQ
Good questions.
Is Grove for quitting or cutting back?
Both. Choose stop, cut back, or not sure yet, and change it any time in Settings.
What happens if I drink?
Tell Bramble when you water, if you want to. The plant is watered, nothing is taken away, and a gentle check-in makes sure you are safe.
Does Grove keep score?
No. Nothing in Grove is a score, and no count ever goes back to zero. Counting drinks is optional and only you see it.
Does my care team see everything?
No. Grove shares a summary only after you connect to a care team with a code and choose what to share, one kind at a time. You can stop any time. Nothing is watched in real time.
Is Grove treatment?
No. Grove is not a medical device and doesn’t diagnose or treat anything. It works well alongside care. If you drink heavily every day, talk to a doctor before you stop, because stopping suddenly can be unsafe.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you need urgent help, call 911. If you are thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988.
What does it cost?
Grove is free, with every tool, lesson and safety feature included. An optional Grove Pro adds garden decor only.
Who is it for?
Adults 18 and older in the United States.
Is Grove in Pippa Companions?
Yes. On iPhone you can get Grove on its own, or open Pippa Companions and pick Grove. Inside Pippa Companions, the optional decor comes with Companion Pro. On Android, Grove is its own app.
THE PIPPA FAMILY
From the team behind Pippa.
Grove is its own app, and on iPhone it is also a program inside Pippa Companions. Made by the team behind Pippa, with the same care-team dashboard for clinics.
See Grove with your patients in mind
A 15-minute walkthrough of Grove and the care-team dashboard, with your program's workflow in mind. No slides, just the product.
Here for yourself? Take your time. Everything in Grove is optional, and every tool is free.
