The math nobody wants to do
At 4 hours a day, that's 3,042 days spent indoors staring at a screen over the next 50 years. TouchGrass turns that number into a plant. It's harder to ignore than a number.
How TouchGrass works
Most screen-time apps show you a number. The number is meaningless — you can't feel "5h 23m." TouchGrass makes it tangible.
Stay under your daily goal: full bloom, sparkles, all good. Blow past it: petals droop, leaves go orange. Direct, honest feedback without a single push notification.
Three tiers — Lite, Standard, Lockdown — each with apps you pick. When you cross your goal, Sproutly shields the apps you chose. Tap "Stand down" any time to unlock.
Plant seeds, water plants, harvest leaves. Unlock rare species through streaks. The garden is the side-quest that makes the main quest stick.
A simple timer with a meditating Sproutly. Set 30 minutes, go deep, come back stronger.
A 28-day comparison so improvement is visible from day one. Watching your baseline drop is the most addictive non-addictive thing.
Privacy
TouchGrass has no server, no analytics, no tracking, no account. Every number — your screen time, your garden state, your plants — lives in your iPhone's local storage. Delete the app, the data is gone. There's no copy in the cloud because the cloud isn't part of the design.
