Time together, without the planning.
Grovetime suggests one small thing your family can do tonight, matched to how much energy and time you have. Then the phone goes away.

An ordinary weekday evening.
Pickup, dinner, a lost gym bag. Someone is crying about the wrong socks.
Dinner’s done. Everyone drifts off to their own screen. You too.
We should do something together.
But what? You’re too tired to think of anything, so nothing happens.The kids are asleep, and the guilt shows up. Another evening gone.
It’s not that you don’t care. Deciding is just the hardest part at the end of a long day. Grovetime does the deciding, so you get the time together.
How it works
- Tonight
One idea, not a list
Say how tired you are and how much time you’ve got. Grovetime picks one thing to do together: drawing, baking, a walk outside, a silly game.
- Together
Everyone gets a say
Choose together by passing the phone around, or make it a kid’s turn to pick. Little ones join in with a grown-up’s help.
- Over time
A grove that grows
Each of you is a tree. Time together makes the grove grow, and the memories go in a jar. Miss a week and nothing is lost.
What we promise
- No ads
- No streaks or guilt
- No accounts or email
- Made for every kind of family

Why I made Grovetime
I have two kids, aged 7 and 10, and I made Grovetime for myself first.
I didn’t grow up with a model for this, so I never had a picture of what an ordinary evening together could look like. Add work that keeps pulling at my attention, and a home that is mostly chaos by six o’clock, and the evenings just slipped away.
I didn’t need another parenting book about everything I should be doing. I needed someone to say: tonight, try this. Ten minutes. That’s enough.
So that’s what Grovetime does. No streaks, no scores, no guilt. Just one small idea, and a grove that grows a little every time we actually do it.
