Here’s what this app does
So I built The Grove.
While using it, I added a few features I personally missed in other apps:
Immersion page: you can scroll through calming nature videos with only ambient sounds. I realized I often got hypnotized by nature reels on Instagram, so I wanted that same relaxing feeling without distractions. I’m not sure I’ll keep maintaining this feature, because I don’t know if other people, besides me, actually enjoy it (for now, it’s just an experiment).
Sleep timer: pick a sound (rain, sea, forest, etc.), set a timer, put your phone down, and fall asleep. The sound stops automatically, so you don’t have to touch your phone again.
Pomodoro mode: a simple focus timer to use while studying or working, paired with background sounds.
Offline & airplane mode: everything works perfectly even with no connection at all (so my poor iPhone 11 doesn’t lose too much battery).
The app includes various nature sounds, along with many other types of noise, and it’s 100% free:
No ads
No tracking
No data collection
No in-app purchases
Available on both platforms (built in Flutter):
