the resident gardener for your files
Grove is a quiet menu-bar app that keeps a folder tidy for you. It waits until things settle, gathers loose files where they belong, keeps a short note of what's there, and never throws anything away, so you can undo any time.
Moves and gathers, never deletes. Every change is reversible.
what Grove does
A space is just a folder you hand to Grove. It keeps it tidy, remembers what's there, and never loses a thing.
Grove watches a space and waits for things to settle. Then it gathers the loose files into place, so the folder you come back to is the one you hoped for.
Grove moves and renames, and that is all. It never deletes. Every change is reversible, so you can undo any time and find things exactly where they were.
Grove keeps a short, current note of what's in each space and how it is arranged. You always have a clear picture, and so does any helper you bring in later.
for whatever you keep
A space can hold anything. Grove tends it the same gentle way, whether it is school, work, or the pile on your desktop.
Lecture slides, readings, half-written essays, and the class website. Grove keeps the whole term in order, so last week's notes are easy to find again.
Screenshots, downloads, and files named final-final-2. Point Grove at your desktop and it quietly sorts the pile, without throwing anything away.
Chapters, versions, notes, and research. Grove gathers the loose pages and keeps your drafts where you will look for them.
For developers, Grove keeps a project tidy and writes a note any agent can read. The same calm hand, one more kind of work.
everything that belongs together
Your work is rarely all in one folder. A space can link to anything that belongs with it: a webpage, a PDF, another folder anywhere on your Mac. Nothing has to move. Grove remembers where it all lives, so you don't have to, and any agent you open can follow along.
when you're ready for more
An AI helper is only as good as what it can see. Grove keeps your space in order and keeps a short note of what's in it, so when you open one, Claude, Codex, or any other, it already understands your work. The hard part is quietly done before you ask.
No new habits and no lock-in. Grove keeps a root AGENTS.md and runs a small MCP server, so the helper you already use can read along.
you hold the reins
Choose how much to hand over, and lock anything you want left alone.
Grove proposes each change and waits. Nothing moves until you say yes.
Grove handles the small, settled things on its own and tells you what it did.
Grove keeps the whole space tended in the background, the way a garden is kept.
Lock any file or folder to keep Grove out of it. Your files stay on your device (bring your own sync). Only the tending judgment is hosted, never your work.
Install Grove, sign in, and start your trial in the app. It tends in the background, and you can undo anything, any time.
