Grove.
Parallel work, organised
Several changes in flight, none in the way.
One of fifteen tools the studio built for its own work. We build the same kind of app for clients, shaped around the job they need doing.
- Made for
- Running several changes to one product at the same time
- Shape
- Lives in the Mac menu bar, with controls for people and AI assistants
- Data
- Stays on the machine
- AI inside
- None; our AI assistants rely on it
What Grove does.
Several improvements can move at once, but only if each has a safe place to live. Grove gives every change its own working copy and shows the studio what is active, what needs attention and what has fallen behind.
Health checks use plain English and offer one-click fixes. Routine updates and the removal of finished work can run across all projects in one action.
This one is for software teams: several changes to the same product move at once, and none of them lands on top of another.
Why we built Grove.
Software work goes faster with more than one improvement in flight, and messier. The old way meant parking half-finished work to handle something urgent, switching over, fixing, switching back, and hoping nothing got lost in the shuffle.
Grove gives every change in progress its own clean copy of the project, and gives the studio one window over all of them: every project, everything in flight, what needs attention, what's fallen behind.
How Grove earns its place in a working day.
Start a change
A new piece of work gets its own complete working copy in seconds, split off cleanly, with the routine set-up done automatically.
Switch without losing your place
An urgent fix does not disturb unfinished work. Each copy keeps its state; you move between them, not through them.
Glance at the overview
One screen answers two questions: what needs my attention, and where was I? Health issues arrive in plain English, with a grade.
Tidy up in one action
Finished work is cleared away and everything updated across all projects at once, with the safety checks on by default.
Urgent fixes stopped derailing feature work
The half-finished thing stays exactly as it was left. Interruptions stopped costing context.
Project health became a glance
Half-finished work, copies falling behind, projects gone quiet, graded A to F in plain English, with one-click fixes.
AI work stays separate
Each AI assistant works in its own copy, away from other changes and the live product.
Made to fit the work it needs to do.
Grove has a main window, a shortcut in the Mac menu bar and a supporting tool our AI assistants use. All three read the same project information, so they stay in agreement.
The design bar was plain English everywhere: health checks that say "37 unsaved changes and nothing new for three months", not codes to decipher.
