Touch Grass tackles doomscrolling, short attention spans, misinformation and digital burnout. Users get personalised prompts to go offline and reconnect with the real world. By recording themselves touching grass or outlasting app blocks using the Weed Killer feature, they earn seeds redeemable for real-life, phone-free rewards. The app's retro 8-bit aesthetic recalls a simpler, pre-overload internet - when tech was playful, not overwhelming, overstimulating or invasive. There is a reference to pop-up computer viruses - a metaphor for social media as a mental health and misinformation virus.
