An independent App Studio

Quiet, private logbooks for the things you live with.

Single-purpose trackers for iPhone. No accounts, no cloud, no ads — your data stays on your device. Each app does one job well: track it, show the pattern, and hand you a record worth bringing to whoever needs it.

Softgrove makes 11 single-purpose tracker apps for iPhone — health journals (eczema, IBS, reflux, gout, neuropathy), life logs (pets, plants, cars, books, reef tanks), and workshop tools. Every app has a free core, needs no account, and keeps all data on the device.

Health journals

Symptom and trigger logs for chronic conditions — built to make doctor visits concrete.

Home & life logs

Care and record keeping for the rest of your world — pets, plants, cars, books, reef tanks.

Workshop tools

Calculators that earn their place at the bench.

How these are built

Three rules, every app.

Private by design

Everything you record stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync to us, no ads, no data sales — the privacy policy is one page because there's nothing to disclose.

One job per app

A tracker for your eczema shouldn't also be a social network. Each app covers a single subject completely and skips everything else.

Free core, honest premium

Logging and browsing your own history is always free — no account needed. Premium adds analysis and reports, with a clear price and a free trial.
