Our mission

A naturalist's instrument, not a gamified dashboard.

Growe is a calm, premium way to actually learn the birds, by sight and by sound. No streaks at any cost, no confetti, no noise. Just short, adaptive practice that builds a real, lasting eye and ear, whether you're naming your first blackbird or telling a Marsh Tit from a Willow Tit.

Sight + sound
Both halves of real field skill

Why we built it

Learning to recognise birds should feel like getting sharper, not scoring points

Built on learning science

Spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and adaptive difficulty: the same principles that make language apps work, tuned for field marks and song.

Calm by design

Ad-free, quiet, and restrained. Gamification is earned and understated: progress you can feel, never a slot machine dressed as a hobby.

Gives back

A fixed share of every subscription funds bird conservation and open data. Learning the birds and protecting them are the same project.

Our commitment

Every subscription helps the birds it teaches

We give a fixed share of revenue back: to conservation partners, to the open recording archives our learning depends on, and to the science that keeps the data honest.

The team

Birders and builders, in equal measure

A small team based in the Netherlands, split between the field and the codebase.

Birders first

Every feature answers to what real field skill feels like, not to what looks good in a demo.

Built on the science of memory

Retrieval practice, spacing and interleaving do the work. Five minutes a day is enough.

A share funds conservation

A fixed share of every subscription funds bird conservation and the open data our learning relies on.

Grow your birding eye and ear

Five minutes a day is enough. The free plan is free forever, no card needed.
