SYSTEM ERROR: LIFE.EXE NOT FOUND. Did U Touch Grass is a minimalist digital intervention utility. While every other app on your phone is fighting for your attention, this one is empowering you to give it away. In an era of infinite scrolls and digital fatigue, we provide a "portal" back to the physical world. No streaks, no social pressure, and no data-harvesting. Just a clean, lo-fi interface designed to help you interrupt the loop and reclaim your time. HOW IT WORKS: GENTLE INTERVENTION: Choose an offline activity—read a book, take a walk, or just stare at a wall. THE TIMER: Set your phone down. Our minimalist timer keeps track of your "Time Spent Away," not "Time Spent In-App." ZINE REWARDS: Premium users unlock custom, printable lo-fi zines based on their offline sessions. AUTHENTIC 90S AESTHETIC: A brutalist, grayscale UI for those who find modern "Wellness" apps too noisy. WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT: NO ACCOUNTS: No sign-ups, no passwords, no tracking. LOCAL-ONLY: Your data stays on your device. Period. SOLO-DEVELOPED: Built by a human who actually wants you to put your phone down. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS: Pay once, own it forever. FAQ: Is it secure? Yes. Since there is no "cloud," your session data is stored locally on your device only. Why use this? Because you aren't the product here. This is a tool designed specifically to get you off your phone. What are the stats for? Tracking is optional. The numbers don't "matter" unless you find the progress fun to see. Stop scrolling. Start living. Go touch grass.
