touch grass - beat brain rot

you wanted to quickly check your notifications before bed… now it’s hours later and you’re watching conspiracy theories about the moon landing. you had your chance. you blew it. boomers telling you to put your phone down didn’t work either. so, we made an app to put your phone down for you.  

touch grass harnesses the magic of brain rot to help you reclaim your sleep, inner-peace, and focus. here’s how it works:
1) select situations where you want to limit distracting apps (ex. limit instagram and tiktok before bed)
2)  set breaks to use distracting apps during those situations* (ex. two 5-minute breaks and one 10-minute break… or try no breaks and begin the path to enlightenment)
3)  when the block is active, you’ll see our homemade, brain rot-inspired memes– unless you take a break*
4)  use your breaks to scroll guilt-free! touch grass will not let you end your block early or add more breaks. you’ll never need willpower to stay off distracting apps again
5) start a one-time block with ease whenever you need to touch grass on the fly*
6)  schedule vacations from blocks for when you’re out of your routine and life demands unlimited scrolling*

touch grass is perfect if...
- you want to limit your screen time without thinking about limiting your screentime
- you’d rather save your willpower for more important things than resisting the urge to not watch another carpet being power-cleaned 
- you thought apple's screen time settings could fix you (we’re not like those other apps)

touch grass is not for you if…
- you want to rely on your willpower to avoid excessive doomscrolling 24/7/365
- you live to please our almighty tech overlords (and whoever invented snapchat)

popular ways to improve your life with touch grass:
- better sleep: block late-night doomscrolling and reclaim an hour (or three) of actual sleep. good sleep is the #1 indicator of long-term health and having even a shard of free will.
- peaceful mornings: start your day without algorithmically-engineered chaos. you deserve mornings without war footage, a burger with way too much cheese, or 5 signs your partner is fork-lift certified.
- more vacation homes for your shareholders:  it’s not all about you! don’t forget that by setting a workday block, you are massively increasing your productivity, which helps the president of your company finally buy that fifth beach home they so desperately deserve.


we know this isn't that deep. screens aren't evil, and we're definitely not your therapist. but if you’re tired of big tech’s armies of super-nerds stealing your attention, touch grass makes it impossible to lose. just a warning, you’re still going to see memes designed to kill brain cells.

now put down your phone and touch some grass… but download the app first.

*using the app blocking features and creating vacations requires a subscription.
