one with the ants

this app is genuinely so useful, i love the concept and design. and when i do go outside to take a pic of grass just to get back on my phone, i end up enjoying nature and spending a while off of my phone. the setup and aesthetics of this app is also just so pleasing and another one of the reasons this app isn’t annoying. thank you so much for making this cause it’s genuinely what i needed as a reminder that there’s more to life than my phone ;)

Must have app

This app works very well. My screen time has dropped by half. I work in a concrete jungle, so I use the breathing break instead. So glad they added that feature, since grass is hard to come by at work. But I wish they would add the ability to ignore some apps. Since things like using maps for gps, workout apps, meditation apps, etc… count towards my screen time. I’ll be driving somewhere using my gps and get a notification that I need a break from my phone. Other then that though, it works great and does its job well.

Finally!

This is the app of my dreams! All the blocks of telling me to take deep breaths or having me do math don't work because they're too easy! Having to actually get up (*even if it's to go to a window and cheat to take a picture from there, more on it later) and move around gives me the time to be less of a zombie. it's the most accountable i've been with my phone!

Only complaints: it's a little faulty, as expected! Like mentioned, it will register grass from a second story window when I'm feeling like a slacker, but i can be touching the only patch of green plant in my front yard (mint) and it doesn't count. Not a big problem, i just man up and go across the street to freak the neighbors out by touching their lawn instead but worth mentioning, along with that i love to add how poor i am and how much i wish i could buy full version, but even on the free version this app is great as it can target my main problems!

Cynic

It is awesome except for the payment for the extra stuff

it wouldn’t actually open my apps

Like my apps were locked the whole time, even if I showed it grass and it would say it was opening them, but it never did

Horrible

You can only block 2 apps if you have the free version

It was working at first but now it won’t let me get past the “choose your apps” thing.

Whenever I select my apps to block it just resets it and brings me back to the “create your first break” screen.

To the developer

So it seems that there is a ‘24/7 block that can’t unblock my app,is there a reason for this?

This apps sucks

I die when I touch grass cuz I allergic to grass

Apps not unblocking

I love this app, but I have been trying to unblock the apps, and I scanned the grass, it said ok, but then when I exited back to the app, it still said, « app blocked » I even tried deleting that session, but nope, still blocked- could you please fix the issue? Thank you,

We need touch snow

There’s no grass in winter

helped me so much with my screen time

I mean, sometimes it doesn’t recognize the graphs, but mainly it does

:(

I can’t delete

Good app, but..

Good app, very minimalist which I like, but I try to use it at nighttime or in the morning and I can’t go outside for it

I Like This App And You Should Download It!

I Heard about this app in late 2024 / early 2025 and it sounded like a cool concept! I tried “Pushup Time” but you have to pay to use it so i downloaded this one as a alternative. First, i don’t have to pay for it which is already a good enough reason for you to get the app too

honestly.

I saw a lot of videos and decided to download and mess around with some friends. i still have it downloaded because why not, however i have noticed how truly buggy and unpractical this app is. You have to pay for more then 2 apps, you can’t remove apps without unblocking them first (your screwed if you delete them while there blocked), god forbid it snows, and so many more issues.

Needs snow option, but constantly improving!

I have been using this app for a while now for instagram, but I used to just unblock and block the app when I needed it. They recently changed that so I can't unblock it unless it's already unblocked by using grass! This has really helped reduce my screen time! The only issue I have is I live in Canada and it's winter now so it's extremely hard to find grass.

Edit: I found the snow option! The app is great and i've gotten two of my friends onto it as well! Both of their screen times on specific apps have shot down!
