See it, don't take our word
Three ways to look at the same three years.
Rail keeps it simple. Spine reads like a book. Vine is the one you'll screenshot. Same memories, three shapes — switch and see.

He asked where the moon goes in the daytime. I said it's still there, we just can't see it. He thought about that for a long time.

Open the full groveThe grove, live
Every timeline is drawn as a tree. Grow one yourself.
Same rules, eight species. The tree is generated from your memories — same seed, same tree, every time you open the app.
41 memories
Species — free for everyone
Season — follows the real calendar
- 0 leaves — one per memory
- 0 blossoms — milestones, and capsules that have opened
- 0 fruit — years spanned
- 0 bud — a sealed letter
The crown steps up at 4, 16, 41, 101 and 200 — never on a schedule, only on what you kept.
A life isn't only photos.
Thirteen kinds of thing you can plant — including the ones other apps forgot: a stretch of time, a measurement, a voice, a sentence somebody said, a letter you can't open yet.
How it looks on the tree

Why we chose the blue door
Long-form, formatted, searchable. The version you would otherwise forget by Friday.
Notes are full-text searchable, offline, in both languages.

The lake, before the rain
Date, time and place are read from the file — you rarely type anything.
The original file never leaves the phone. No upload step exists.
Album

14 photos
Two weeks in Hội An
Many photos, one moment on the tree — it stays a single leaf.
Albums keep their own order; the cover is whichever you pin.

Trim it down to the seconds that matter and pick the poster frame.

Mood
Today
Steady. Slept well for once.
One tap and one line. No essay, no streak to protect.
Timegrove has no streaks anywhere. Missing a day costs nothing.
Milestone
Jan 12, 2024
First night in the new home
Blooms across the trunk and stays visible at every zoom level.
Milestones become blossoms on the tree — one flower each.
Era
2024 — 2025
First year home
A stretch of time, not a day — it colours everything inside it.
Some templates arrive with their eras already drawn.
Metric
Weekly
Weight, month by month
8.4 kg
A number that draws its own line down the length of the timeline.
Metrics you mark private are left out of exports and On This Day.
Place
Oct 2023
The bench by Hoàn Kiếm
Where it happened, drawn from coordinates you already had.
The map tile is fetched from Apple once, then kept on the iPhone.
Quote
Sep 2024
“Is the moon following us?”
Something somebody actually said, kept with who said it.
Quotes carry a speaker, so a child’s line stays theirs.
Scan
May 2022
PDF
The hospital discharge letter
Paper you do not want to lose, flattened and kept sharp.
Scans marked private are excluded from every export.
Time capsule
Sealed
A letter to you at eighteen
Sealed until 2043
Encrypted on the phone and unopenable — by you too — until the date.
A sealed capsule shows on the tree as a bud, never as its contents.
Start from a life, not a blank page.
32 templates, from “My child” to “Books & reading” to “In memory of”. Each one knows which kinds to offer first, which milestones to suggest, and which tree to plant.

Inside the app
Six screens, straight from the phone.
No composited mock-ups and no invented data — these are real captures of a real grove.
The part where we explain how your data leaves. It doesn't.
No account.
There is nothing to sign up for. The app has never asked anyone for an email address.
No server.
Timegrove has no backend. Not “encrypted on our servers” — no servers.
No exit tax.
JSON and .tmln export are free forever and never watermarked. Leave any time, take everything.
Read how it's built
All three sentences above are about the app. This website is a different thing: it runs on a server, and it runs no analytics at all today. If that changes, the banner appears before anything is measured.
The one thing no other app does
Export your grove as one file that still works in 2046.
- One
.htmlfile - Opens in any browser, offline
- Photos inlined, no links to break
- Search, zoom and lightbox still work
Your tree doesn't die when you're away. It waits.
No streaks. No “you missed 5 days”. Nothing in Timegrove will ever make you feel behind.
Free forever for a small grove.
