At 4 hours a day, your phone will quietly cost you 8.3 years over the next 50. TouchGrass is here to help you keep some of them. Meet Sproutly, your green plant buddy whose mood is tied directly to your daily phone usage. Stay under your goal and Sproutly blooms. Blow past it and the garden wilts. No shame, no streaks held over your head. Just an honest cause and effect loop you can feel. WHY TOUCHGRASS IS DIFFERENT Most screen time apps show you a number. "5h 23m." That number is meaningless. You can't feel it. TouchGrass turns your screen time into something you actually care about: a tiny plant that lights up on a good day and droops on a bad one. WHAT YOU GET • A live read of your daily screen time, powered by Apple's Screen Time framework. • A health score that reacts to time lost on social, games, and entertainment, while productive use stays neutral. • A Reality Check that turns today's pace into the lifetime cost: years of your life on the phone. • A 3x3 garden you tend each day. Water, plant, and harvest seeds, unlocking rare species over time. • Three Protect tiers (Lite, Standard, Lockdown) that let you choose which apps Sproutly guards and shield them when you cross your daily limit. • Six themes: Forest Dark, Morning Meadow, Golden Dunes, Deep Tide, Twilight Garden, Sakura. • A Focus mode for deep work. Set a timer, watch Sproutly meditate, finish stronger. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY TouchGrass has no server, no analytics, and no account. Every number lives on your device. Your Screen Time data never leaves your iPhone. Delete the app and it's gone. There's no copy in the cloud, because the cloud isn't part of the design. REQUIREMENTS • Requires iOS 16 or later. iPhone only. • Uses Apple's Family Controls and Screen Time framework. You'll grant Screen Time access during setup. The app still works without it in calibration mode, but the garden's main loop assumes it's on. NOT FOR PARENTAL CONTROL TouchGrass is built for adults managing their own screen time. It is not a parental control product, doesn't use Family Sharing, and exposes your data to no one but you. Stop scrolling. Watch your garden grow.
