About LittleHand
Is LittleHand free?
Yes. The official data, the eligibility quote, the link to Grants.gov, your daily matches and deadline reminders are free, with 1 profile and up to 5 topics. Pro adds change tracking, AI summaries, calendar export, next round tracking and client profiles. There is no free trial.
Is LittleHand affiliated with Grants.gov?
No. LittleHand is an independent app. It uses the public Grants.gov data but is not endorsed or certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and is not affiliated with Grants.gov or any U.S. government agency. Applying for federal grants is always free at Grants.gov.
Where does the data come from?
From Grants.gov, the official U.S. source for federal grants, through its daily public data extract. Amounts, dates and eligibility are shown exactly as the agency published them, and every opportunity links to its official listing.
What happened to the Grants.gov mobile app?
Grants.gov stopped supporting its mobile app in April 2025. You can still search and apply on Grants.gov in any browser. LittleHand is a separate, independent iPhone app built on the same public data.
Does LittleHand apply for grants for me?
No. LittleHand finds and tracks opportunities. You apply on Grants.gov or the agency’s system, as always. LittleHand does not decide whether you are eligible and is not legal, financial or grant-writing advice.
Does it include state, foundation or corporate grants?
Not today. LittleHand covers U.S. federal funding opportunities published on Grants.gov.
What about NIH research grants?
They are hidden by default, because most of them are for universities and research institutions. You can turn them on for any profile in the app.
Do I need an account?
No email or password. The app creates an anonymous account on your iPhone. You can optionally Sign in with Apple to move it to a new iPhone.
How accurate are the AI summaries?
Every summary is checked automatically against the official text before you see it. Amounts and dates always come from the official fields, never from the AI. If a summary can’t be verified, you see the official synopsis instead.
Is there an Android or web version?
Not yet. LittleHand is an iPhone app.
Using the app
How do I move LittleHand to a new iPhone?
On your old iPhone, go to Account and choose Sign in with Apple. On the new iPhone, sign in with the same Apple ID and your profiles, topics and saved grants come back. Without Sign in with Apple, the account stays on the old device.
I subscribed but I still see the Free plan.
Open the plans screen in the app and tap Restore purchases. Make sure you are signed in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to subscribe.
How do I cancel or change my subscription?
On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose LittleHand. Deleting the app or your LittleHand account does not cancel a subscription.
I’m not getting notifications.
Check that notifications for LittleHand are on in your iPhone Settings, and that the alerts you want are on in LittleHand Settings > What to track. New matches and changes arrive at 8:30 AM your time.
How do I delete my account and data?
In the app, go to Account > Delete my account and data. Everything is removed from our server at once.
Something looks wrong in a listing.
LittleHand shows amounts, dates and eligibility exactly as published on Grants.gov, and every opportunity links to its official page. Always check the official listing before you apply. If our copy differs from Grants.gov, please write to us with the opportunity number.
