Move Away From Your Phone and End Mindless Doomscrolling With Touch Grass

Using the app is simple, easy, and is sure to help you reconnect with nature. To begin, you’ll answer a few questions like how long you are on the iPhone per day. It provides some humbling stats about how much time you’re giving up looking at the screen.

To help, you can then choose what apps are distracting you the most, whether it’s social media or something else. When you want to use one of apps, get on your shoes and head outside. The app requires you to take a picture of your hand actually touching grass to unlock the apps.

You can then customize how long you’d like to unlock the apps, including 15 minutes, 60 minutes, or until midday. The app uses computer vision to make sure you’re actually touching grass.

Touch Grass is a free download now on the App Store for the iPhone. With the free version, you can block two apps before touching grass.

To unlock all of the app’s features, you’ll need an optional subscription of $5.99 per month or $49.99 yearly. With the yearly option, you can make use of a free, seven-day trial.

Subscribers will be able to block as many distracting apps as you choose and see detailed historical data.

Another unique feature of the app is that you can choose to unlock your apps without actually touching grass. You’ll receive one free skip per month if you choose. For any more skips, you can actually pay with an in-app purchase, with a twist. You can select anywhere from $0.99 to $9.99 for each skip. Fifty percent of that revenue will be charities that plant trees
