Touch Grass goes beyond typical screen time apps by requiring real-world action rather than just willpower. The app includes thoughtful features like a monthly free skip for emergencies, flexible unlock durations that fit your lifestyle, and screen time tracking to monitor your progress over time.
What makes this app special is its mission-driven approach. The developer donates 50% of skip purchase profits to UK rewilding projects, so reducing your screen time actually helps restore natural habitats. The app has gained viral attention for its clever approach to phone addiction, with users reporting significant reductions in mindless scrolling and increased time spent outdoors.
Perfect for anyone struggling with phone addiction, doomscrolling habits, or simply wanting to build a healthier relationship with technology while reconnecting with nature.
