No loopholes
A day with no data counts as the full 24 hours. Deleting the app on a bad day is a forfeit, not a trick.
Private by architecture
Only total minutes leave your phone. Which apps you used stays on-device. Apple enforces it.
Hit or rematch Monday
Fresh week, same friends. Whoever lost gets seven days to fix it.
Questions
Asked and answered.
What is Touch Grass?
Touch Grass is an iPhone app that turns screen time into a weekly least-screen-time competition with friends. Set a daily cap. Week hit = your 7-day total stays under 7× the cap. Lowest total still wins. Recaps are rank and hit/miss.
How does Touch Grass track screen time?
Through Apple's official Screen Time framework, on your own device. You grant permission once during setup; after that, tracking is fully automatic. Only your total minutes, never which apps you used, leave your phone.
Can my friends see which apps I use?
No. Friends only ever see your weekly total minutes, your username, and an emoji avatar. Per-app usage never leaves your device. Apple’s Screen Time API doesn’t even allow apps to export it.
What stops someone from deleting the app on a bad day?
A day with no data counts as the full 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, on the leaderboard. Deleting the app or turning off tracking is the worst possible move, not a loophole.
When does Touch Grass launch, and on what devices?
Join the waitlist (SMS code). iPhone, iOS 17+. Android not v1. TestFlight follows; not on the App Store yet.
The week starts Monday.
Be on the board when it does.
