FAQ

01 // What is this?Did U Touch Grass is a minimalist utility designed to be a portal away from your phone. While other platforms fight for your engagement, we're empowering you to interrupt the scroll and take back your time. It's a quick, low-barrier way to put the screen down and get back to reality.02 // How do you use it?There's no need to create an account or sign up. Just open the app, choose an offline activity, start the timer, and set your phone down. You can interact with your life using the simple suggestions provided by the app (or upgrade to Premium to add your own).03 // Does it cost money?The core version of the app is free. A one-time Premium upgrade ($5.99) unlocks additional features:
• Custom monthly printable zine page based on your offline time
• Unlimited custom activities
• Exclusive lo-fi themes
• All future feature rollouts

No ads, no subscriptions, no pop-ups. Just a tool you own forever.
04 // What about the stats?The app records your session length every time you start a timer, building a log of your time spent offline. However, the goal isn't to track every single second of your life—that would be exhausting and defeat the point.05 // Why should I use this?Because unlike every other app on your phone, this one isn't trying to steal your attention. It's a tool to divert your focus back to what actually matters.06 // Is it secure?Yes. Since you aren't inputting personal information and there is no "cloud," your data is as secure as it gets. All session data is stored locally on your device only.07 // Who made this?This is a Catnip Works utility. I'm a solo, self-taught full-stack developer who doesn't actually like using apps and tries to stay off my phone as much as possible.08 // Why does my phone say the Android file is "harmful"? Don't worry, your phone is just being protective! Because "Did U Touch Grass?" is currently distributed as an independent APK (and not yet through the Google Play Store), Android labels it as an "Unknown Source."

To install, just follow these three quick steps:

1. Download anyway: Click "Download anyway" when the browser prompt appears.
2. Enable Settings: If your phone blocks the install, click Settings in the popup and toggle on "Allow from this source."
3. Install: Return to the file and hit Install.
