More than a notification
A toast in the corner is easy to ignore. Touch Grass waits until you have genuinely been heads down with AI for a while, and then takes over every display for a few minutes, so the break actually happens.
What a break is like
- A one minute warning first, so nothing interrupts you mid-thought.
- Every display fades into a slow dawn to dusk landscape with a countdown.
- A small plant grows while you are away.
- Cmd-Tab is paused until the timer runs out.
Firm, but not a trap
The break ends on its own timer. There is no anti-tamper daemon and nothing locking your machine. You can quit the app if you must, and an interrupted break resumes its remaining time next launch.
On your terms
You set the rhythm: how long you can go before a break, how long the break lasts, and how far ahead the warning arrives. All of it lives in Settings. See how it works for the timing details, or skim the FAQ.
