# Grovetime

> Grovetime is an iPhone app (in beta) that helps busy families spend short, screen-free time together. Each evening it suggests one small activity that fits the family's energy and time, lets everyone have a say in choosing, and grows a shared "family grove" as they spend time together; each shared memory (a word or an emoji) hangs in the grove as a lantern. It has no ads, no streaks, no accounts and no tracking. Made in Sweden by Product Rhythm Studio AB. Available in English, Swedish and Italian.

## Key facts

- What it is: a family app for parents and kids, from toddlers to tweens, that makes the hardest part of family time at the end of a long day easier: deciding what to do. It suggests and guides; the family decides together.
- How it works: a grown-up says how tired the family is and how much time they have (10, 20 or 45 minutes). Grovetime suggests one activity from categories like silly games, talking, calm, kitchen, building, art, outdoors and moving. Activities need no preparation and use things a family already has.
- Choosing together: the family can choose together by passing one phone around, a grown-up can pick, or it can be a kid's turn to pick. Toddlers take part with a grown-up's help; older kids use their own device.
- Motivation without guilt: each family member has their own tree in a shared grove that grows with time spent together, with seasons instead of streaks. Missing a week loses nothing. There are no points, rewards or leaderboards.
- Families: for every kind of family, with any number of grown-ups. Kids decide what they call each grown-up.
- Privacy: no accounts or email addresses. Families share data between their phones with a random family code. Grown-ups can make a new code or delete the family from the app at any time. No ads, analytics or third-party trackers.
- Platforms: iPhone app in beta via Apple TestFlight (free during the beta). A web version exists for testers on Android.
- Languages: English, Swedish (svenska), Italian (italiano).
- Maker: Product Rhythm Studio AB, Sweden. Founder: Stefania, a parent of two who built it for her own family first.
