Features & Capabilities

touch grass: screen time limit helps you reclaim your time by blocking your most distracting apps until you physically touch grass. It leverages smart grass detection with computer vision, tracks your screen time, and offers flexible unblock durations designed for real life. A monthly free skip gives you occasional relief, while premium unlocks unlimited blocking and deeper usage insights.

How it works: you choose which apps to block, then when you want to use them you take a photo of real grass to verify, and you can enjoy your apps with the confidence you stepped outside. This tool is ideal for breaking phone addiction, building healthier tech habits, and supporting rewilding projects (50% of skip profits). Requirements include an iPhone on iOS 17 or later and a patch of real grass.

User Reviews

Users like the concept and report real benefits in reducing screen time and encouraging outdoor activity, with several praising a free starter option. However, frequent issues center on the pricing model and feature limits, reliability bugs, and ease of circumventing the app by using grass photos. A common frustration is the inability to modify restrictions while blocked. Overall sentiment is mixed: effective when working, but hampered by subscription costs and loopholes.

Pros

Free version available to start without paying
Helps reduce screen time
Encourages outdoor activity and touching grass
Positive, enjoyable experience with a visually appealing design
Provides a simple way to block apps to limit usage

Cons

Subscription-based model locks most features; pricing is a major complaint
Free version is very limited (e.g., only a couple of blocked apps)
Buggy and unreliable (blocks reset, glitches, recognition issues)
Grass/ground recognition can be bypassed by taking photos of grass, undermining the purpose
Cannot change restrictions or blocked apps while the app is active, causing UX friction
