Achievements and unlocks

Every achievement and every thing to find in your valley, and how to get each one.

Updated

Grove has two pages that remember what you did:

For the rest of the app, see How Grove works and Weather and seasons.

How both pages work

Achievements

The page

  • On the Review page, the achievements come under Your week, with their count. Added in 1.7
  • Achievements are grouped by month, newest first.
  • Filters at the top: All, Growing, Letting go and Valley, each with a count. They show when you have achievements in at least two of these groups.
The Review page: Your week, then Achievements, "220 milestones reached, 7 this month", the filters All, Growing, Letting go and Valley with their counts, then this month's achievements, such as A full valley, Reached the summit and Back on track, each with its habit and date.
The Review page, with Your week at the top.
  • Tap an achievement to open its habit, if the habit still exists.
  • Your week, near the top, looks back at one week at a time: what each habit did, and the achievements reached and things found that week (see How Grove works). Added in 1.1
  • Achievements stay for good, even after you delete the habit.
    • A deleted habit's achievements keep the name it had, with the note "No longer tracked".
    • An archived habit's achievements stay too, with the note "Archived". Tap one to open your archived habits, where you can restore it. Once it is restored, they are as before. Added in 1.1
  • Most achievements are earned once. If you lose a streak and reach 30 days again, the first date stays. "Back on track", "Reached the summit" and "Higher than ever" can be earned again.

Replay your valley Added in 1.6

  • In the Review page's menu (⋯), Replay your valley plays your valley back, from the day your first habit began to today.
  • Plants grow, climbers go up their trails, the seasons turn and the visitors come, on the days they really did. Each day is worked out from your history by the same rules as the valley itself.
  • Over it are the month and the season, such as "March 2025 · Spring", and what happened: each habit as it began, and each visitor as it first came. It ends on your valley as it is today.
  • Every day is shown in the morning light and in calm weather, so nothing hides the valley.
  • Habits you archived come and go on their own days. Habits you deleted took their history with them, so they are not in it.
  • Pause it, play it, or drag the slider to any day. Watch again plays it from the start. On a computer, the space bar pauses and plays, and the arrow keys step through it.
  • With animations turned off on your device, it opens on today, and the slider goes back through it.
  • It takes from 6 seconds, for a month or less, to 36 for a long history.

Growing (habits you build)

  • Days in a row: 3, 7, 14, 21, 30, 50, 100, 200 and 365 days.
    • For habits due on set days, only those days count.
    • Days when the habit was paused don't break a streak (see How Grove works).
    • For habits due "a number of times each week", Grove counts weeks in a row instead: 2, 4, 8, 12, 26, 52 and 104 weeks.
      • Weeks start on the day you choose in Settings → Valley and calendar, and a habit's first week asks for less when you start mid-week (see How Grove works). Changing the week start groups past weeks again, but never takes an achievement away. Added in 1.1
  • Growth stages: the first sprout, a sapling, fully grown, thriving.
  • Times done: 10, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 times in all, such as "Done 50 times".
  • A spare day saved the streak: the first time a saved spare day covers a missed day. (Until 1.6, "A rain day saved the streak".) Added in 1.6
  • Back on track: you had a streak of 7 days or more (or 4 weeks or more), lost it, and then built a new streak of 7 days (or 4 weeks).
    • You can earn this more than once.

Letting go (habits you quit)

  • Trail flags: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months clean. Each flag counts the first time only.
  • Reached the summit: a whole year clean.
    • You can earn it again: once for each climb that reaches a year, after a slip. The next one is "Reached the summit again".
  • Higher than ever: after a slip, you climb past your old best.
    • The old best must be at least one day.
    • You can earn it again, each time a new climb passes your best.
  • Urges resisted: 1, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 250 in all.

Valley (all habits together)

  • Planted the first seed or Set out on the first trail: your first habit.
  • Growing and letting go: you have a habit to build and a habit to quit at the same time.
  • A full valley: 10 plants in the valley, so every spot by the river is taken.
  • Perfect days: days when every habit that was due got done.
    • 1, 10, 50, 100 and 250 perfect days in all.
    • 7 and 30 perfect days in a row.
    • Only habits you build with set days count (every day, or some days of the week). Habits due "a number of times each week" and habits you quit don't make or break a perfect day.
    • Days with nothing due are skipped. Today counts once everything is done.
    • A day saved by a spare day is not a perfect day.
    • Tasks don't make or break a perfect day. Added in 1.3
  • Tasks done: 1, 10, 50 and 100 tasks finished in all. Each is also a stage of the cottage. Deleting a task never takes one away. Added in 1.3
  • A clear day: the first day you finish every task due that day. Added in 1.3

Rewards for steady care Added in 1.7

Unlocks

The page

  • Unlocks are grouped by kind. Each card shows a small picture.
  • At the top are the rewards for steady care, while they are on, and the page's ⋯ menu has Utilities, such as Notes. Added in 1.7
  • A card you have not found yet is grey, with a hint that says how to find it.
The Unlocked page: "58 of 69 found" with a bar, then Rewards for steady care, with Winter lights for 100 days, and "Every reward has come to your valley". Below, Visitors as cards with pictures and the day each was found: butterflies, songbirds, the deer, the fox and leaping trout, and one grey card still to find, with the hint "Look up in zen on a bright day".
The Unlocked page: 58 of the 69 things found so far.
  • Tap a card to see it bigger, with the date you found it.
  • The bigger picture moves: rain falls and animals stir, and every other picture has something going on too. Stars twinkle, the sun and moon glow, the shooting star crosses again and again, clouds drift and plants sway. Added in 1.6
A sheet over the Unlocked page with a big picture of a fox sitting in a meadow, "Visitors", "The fox", "Found on 1 September 2025", and "How it turns up: A hundred days of steady care".
One find, open: the fox.
  • Some things can only happen in some climates. Those are hidden if they can't happen where you live, unless you already found them.
    • A four-seasons climate (northern or southern) shows 64 things.
    • The monsoon climate shows 61 things.
    • With tasks on, the cottage adds 5 more to either.

How Grove notices things

  • From your history, with the real date: plants, trail flags, the teal flag, butterflies, songbirds, the deer, the fox, and wildflowers.
  • From the valley while Grove is open: the sky, the weather, the seasons, the rare moments, the bridge lanterns, a golden day, fireflies, leaping trout and the hawk.
    • Any page of the app counts, as long as Grove is open on the screen.
    • They count once you have planted or set out on your first habit. Before that the valley isn't yours yet, so nothing is found.
    • Grove checks every 30 seconds while the app is open.
    • So you find these by opening the app at the right time.
  • The hawk and the Milky Way are only found in zen mode's tall sky. A wide window shows them beside your habits too, but only zen mode counts.
  • A shooting star is found the moment you see one cross the sky, on the Valley page or in zen mode. It is there for less than a second, so Grove doesn't wait for its 30-second check. Added in 1.4
  • Days of care: the animals come with time. A habit you build counts its plant's growth days (see "How a plant grows" in How Grove works). A habit you quit counts the days of a clean climb.
