Independent software studio
Building calm, private software.
Onward Grove is an independent studio in Austin, Texas. We design and build our own privacy-first products for everyday life - software that respects your time, your attention, and your data.
Our first product
PaceOwl
A privacy-first personal-finance app that tells you what is safe to spend today, and shows you the math behind it. No bank login required. Everything you save stays yours to export, any day.
- Safe to spend today. One clear number, updated as your month unfolds.
- It shows its math. Every number opens to the plain calculation behind it.
- Private by design. Scan on your device; no bank login required.
- Yours to keep. Export everything, any day, even after you leave.
How we work
A few things we believe
Privacy by default
The private choice is the built-in one. We collect as little as possible and keep your data working for you, not for us.
Simple on purpose
Fewer knobs, clearer answers. We would rather cut a feature than add confusion to your day.
Honest by design
Our products show their work. If a number changes, you can see why. No dark patterns, no attention farming.
