What they say
Touch Grass is mobile application designed to reduce screen time by blocking chosen apps until the user goes outside and takes a photo of grass with their phone. Using computer vision, the app verifies the image to ensure it's real grass, not fake or other plants, and then unlocks the selected applications. The app aims to help users build healthier habits, reconnect with nature, and decrease phone addiction by motivating them to step away from their screens and engage with the real world.
