The desktop app for Windows 10/11 — host or join, same as everywhere. (Unsigned for now: SmartScreen says “More info → Run anyway”.)

AppImage and .deb — for the homelab machines that were always going to end up running half the net anyway.

iPhone TestFlight

Your gruve apps in your pocket — and pin any of them to the home screen as its own icon. In private beta on TestFlight.

Request a TestFlight invite

Every desktop platform is on v0.2.0 — same lobby, same mesh, everywhere. The Mac app is Apple-signed and notarized (opens clean, no xattr). All three update themselves from here on: a toast when there's a new version, plus auto-update in Settings. The iPhone app is in private TestFlight beta. (release notes). Already running Gruve? Future updates install themselves.

After installing

Three steps to a live lobby.

1 · Start or join a net

Make a net for your crew, or accept a friend's invite. Either way takes under a minute.

2 · Add an app

Point Gruve at something you've made. It gets a tile, an icon, and a place in everyone's lobby.

3 · Watch it bloom

When friends drop in, the tile lights up. That's it — that's the product.
