Grove

Grove visualizes money as a living ecosystem. Your budget isn’t a spreadsheet — it’s a tree that grows when you tend it. The 3D money tree responds to your financial health, branches representing spending categories, leaves showing account balances, the whole organism reflecting how your money flows.

Built for Ashley. Built for anyone who finds traditional financial tools anxiety-inducing rather than empowering.

What Grove Does

• Monthly budget view with progress bars showing where you stand against each category
• Savings goals with circular progress rings — watch your emergency fund, vacation fund, and long-term goals grow
• Bill calendar with payday countdown — never miss a payment, always know what’s coming
• Spending insights with a Money Health Score (0-100) that tells you at a glance how you’re doing
• Quick allocate — distribute income across categories with one tap instead of tedious manual entry
• Bank connections via Plaid (optional) — see real transactions alongside your budgets

The Philosophy

Most financial apps make you feel worse about money. They gamify restriction. They flash red when you spend. They turn every purchase into a judgment.

Grove starts from the opposite premise: financial awareness should feel like tending a garden, not filing taxes. When you understand where your money goes, you make better decisions — not because an app shamed you into it, but because clarity reduces anxiety.

The 3D money tree isn’t a gimmick. It’s a different relationship with financial data. When your tree is thriving, you’re thriving. When a branch is withering, you know where to direct attention. The organism metaphor works because personal finance is an ecosystem — everything connects, everything flows.
