Parental controls for Apple Silicon Macs,
designed around trust instead of surveillance.
Most parental controls watch your child like surveillance software, ship the data to a server you don't run, and call that safety. Grove takes the opposite approach. The app sits on your child's Mac, summarises the day on-device through Apple Intelligence, and shows the same dashboard to your child as it shows to you. The trust is built in, not added on top.
Time-zone tampering. The 30-second enforcement gap after a restart. "Ignore Limit" buttons. Reinstalling apps to reset counters. Switching to a friend's Wi-Fi. Grove watches for all 14 and tells you what happened, in plain English — not in jargon.
Grove uses Apple Intelligence to summarise your child's day on the device itself. We never see what they wrote, what they searched, or what's on their screen. We operate no servers — there is nothing to breach, and nothing for anyone to subpoena.
Whatever you see, your child sees. No hidden mode, no keylogger, no screenshot upload — even as an opt-in. Children deserve to know what's being tracked, and the fastest way to lose a teenager's trust is to spy on them in secret.
The first time Grove opens on a child's Mac, this exact list is shown as a one-page consent screen. It can be reopened any time from the Grove icon — there is no setting that hides it.
