If you have ever done just about anything about anything about anything about anything, you may have been advised to touch the grass. This is a language suggestion of cheeks, basically tells you to log off and go out. But a developer took this concept to the next level.
Rice Kentash launched iOS app last week Touched the grassWhich locks on the locks that engage the apps until you literally walk out and take a picture of grass.
“I struggled with my screen time and worked out that if I didn’t change anything, I would look at my phone for seven years of my life,” Kantash told Tech Crunch. “I wanted to rub more than other solutions there, to get me out of the house in the morning. I wanted to break the habit of reaching my phone in the morning and Domscroling For an hour or two before starting your day. “
Don’t even try to cheat. Using computer vision AI, the app can distinguish home plants and original outdoor grass. So, when the app rejected the picture of my Monestra plant, I went out and got the nearest green thing: a bush. I will argue that the shrub is adjacent to the grass, but the touch grass app is hell to touch the original grass, so the bush was not enough.
I had a short moment of panic, watching my citizen around the street, where I was surrounded by concrete and brick. There are a lot of trees – in the middle of a city, a shout – but like a bush, a tree is not grass. I had to cross the street to find a patch of grass in front of a neighbor’s house, and then I had access to opening a tech on my phone.
For the canton, which works all the time as an app developer in an agency, this level is a matter of friction.
“Hahaha, this is a ridiculous concept,” he said, “Hahaha, it is a ridiculous concept, but now it is helping me.”
Humor in the app depends on how serious you are about to go out. But at the same time, Kentash does not want consumers to touch the grass after the dark, when doing so is not so safe. The app is asked to see the user’s location (which can be given as a time permission) to know that when the sun is set in the area. After that, users can customize their settings to navigate how to navigate when they go out and touches the grass, it is not possible.
The freeium app gives all users the ability to lock two apps, which can only be open by touching the grass – but you can enable the feature you want to open your app. It doesn’t matter what you pay, half cost will be donated To struggle again Kentash says efforts in the UK. If you just want to lock more than two apps, you are 99.99 or each year each month. Can sign up in 49.99.
The concept of paid unlock has already been in the app’s DNA before the concept of grass touching the canites. About a year and a half ago, the cantash Post a video On the ticket, he designed for an app he had designed for himself, who transferred the money from his checking account to opening the Takk every time in his savings. But the idea of touching the grass is a bit more flexible – and funny – which you need to link to your bank account.
Since its inception on Friday, the app has been downloaded about 50,000 times. As an independent developer, Kentash is running the app itself, but he said he was not opposed to investors’ interest. Funding can help produce an Android app and market the app beyond its social media accounts.
