find your people. put down roots.
A community-first app for gay men. Real events, a queer venue directory, genuine connection — built as an antidote to the hollow, transactional experience of every app that came before it.
Coming to iOS & Android · Launching 2026
The Attendee Vibe System
When you join a Grove event, you choose a vibe color that tells everyone in that group what kind of connection you're open to. No awkward guessing, no mixed signals.
What Grove does differently
Create or join real-world meetups. A group chat unlocks when enough people commit — no more empty events.
Every LGBTQ+ space in your city on one map — not just bars, but bookshops, community centers, sports clubs, and queer arts spaces.
Set your vibe when you join a Grove. A color on your avatar tells everyone what kind of connection you're open to — for that event only.
1:1 conversations with real-time delivery and read receipts. No games, no mystery.
Book clubs, hiking groups, knitting circles, coffee meetups — Grove is for every kind of connection, not just nightlife.
Optional face verification so you know the person on the other side is real.
"Every gay app that exists today was built around transaction. Millions of gay men are desperately hungry for community. Grove is built for them."
