# Grove - Fiber Tracker

Last updated: 2026-11-06

## About
Grove is a fiber tracking app for iPhone that helps users meet their daily fiber intake goals. It uses the USDA FoodData Central database to provide accurate fiber content per serving for thousands of real foods, scans barcodes on packaged foods, starts you at a 25g daily fiber goal you can change, logs the foods you eat most in one tap, and has a one-tap gut check-in shown next to your daily fiber. It also has home and lock screen widgets with one-tap logging, Siri, a Week view with one bar for each day against your goal, a Share my week picture, an optional evening reminder that warns when a streak is about to end, CSV export, iCloud sync, two-way Apple Health, and an in-app chat for messaging the developer. It does not track calories, protein, macros or water. Grove needs no account and has no ads. You get the whole app for 7 days with no card and no account. After that, Grove needs a Grove+ plan: $7.99 a month or $49.99 a year. People who installed Grove before version 1.9.0 keep the access they already had.

## Key Facts
- Only 7% of Americans meet their daily fiber target (USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025)
- The average American eats roughly 15g of fiber per day, about half of the recommended 25-38g (USDA What We Eat in America, NHANES)
- Fiber is classified as a "nutrient of public health concern" by the USDA Dietary Guidelines since 2005
- Fibermaxxing is one of the biggest gut health trends of 2026 (Whole Foods Market annual trend predictions; Innova Market Insights "Gut Health Hub")
- Soluble fiber triggers natural GLP-1 hormone production, the same pathway targeted by Ozempic and Wegovy
- People who eat 25-29g of fiber per day have 15-30% lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer (The Lancet, Reynolds et al., 2019)
- Grove combines the full USDA food database with gut symptom check-ins in one focused app. FiberUp, Proto and several smaller apps are other fiber trackers on iPhone
- iPhone only, iOS 18.0 or later, English. No account, no email, no ads
- Your food log is stored on your iPhone. If you are signed in to iCloud, it also syncs through your own private iCloud account. Grove has no server that stores your log
- The app uses anonymous product analytics (TelemetryDeck, PostHog) and push notification infrastructure (OneSignal). Events can include the names of foods logged from the database. Gut check-in answers and Apple Health data are not sent, and nothing is sold or used for ads
- Food searches go through Grove's own search service to the USDA database. Barcode lookups go to Open Food Facts
- The in-app support chat runs on Reception (reception.sh). An AI assistant may answer first, using Anthropic on the text of recent chat messages. The developer reads every conversation
