Context

I lost too many days to my phone without noticing. I would pick it up for one thing and put it down two hours later. Nothing bad happened, but nothing good happened either. Just an afternoon gone, the light outside gone with it, and that strange tired feeling you get from doing nothing at speed.

The idea behind Touchgrass is simple: block the apps that eat your day and give you a reason to leave the house. You choose what to lock and for how long, with outdoor activities offering a small push to get moving. Less a productivity tool, more an invitation to step outside.
