grove

Install

Grove is pre-release and macOS-only.

Download

Grab the latest .dmg from github.com/rosgoo/Grove/releases and drag Grove into /Applications.

Requirements

  • macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon or Intel).
  • A working git on PATH — Grove uses git worktree for tasks.
  • At least one agent CLI installed and authenticated. Grove can launch Claude Code (the default — install instructions at claude.com/code), Codex, or opencode.
  • Optional: the gh CLI, authenticated, for GitHub PR review.

First launch

Grove opens with a Start Screen — pick a folder to open as a workspace. A workspace is a normal git repository; Grove writes its metadata under .grove/ at the workspace root.

That directory is gitignored by Grove; it's safe to leave in place across branches.

What gets installed where

  • The app and its bundled binaries live under /Applications/Grove.app.
  • LSP servers are installed lazily on first open of a language. They land under ~/Library/Application Support/Grove/lsp/<language>/. See LSP.
  • Per-workspace state — tasks, comments, settings — lives in <workspace>/.grove/ (sqlite + JSON).
  • No global config files; everything Grove knows about a project lives next to it.

Updating

Releases are published as DMGs on GitHub. There's no in-app updater yet — replace Grove.app and relaunch.
