Context-aware break reminders without invasive permissions
TouchGrass is a context-aware break reminder built for macOS. Most break reminders only know one thing: time. TouchGrass waits through meetings, calls, media playback and screen recordings, counts time away from your Mac as a completed break, and reminds you to blink, improve your posture and rest after long typing sessions. Everything runs locally, never asks for Accessibility permission, and respects your workflow. 7 day free trial, then a one time purchase of $3.99 with lifetime updates.
Hi everyone! I'm Saran, the solo developer behind TouchGrass.
Like a lot of people, I had installed a break reminder before... and eventually trained myself to ignore it. Not because I didn't need breaks. Because reminders always seemed to appear at the worst possible time:
In the middle of a meeting.
While watching a tutorial.
During a screen recording.
Right when I was deep in flow.
So I built TouchGrass to do the opposite.
Instead of interrupting you on a timer, it waits for the right moment. It automatically pauses during meetings, media playback and screen recordings, counts time away from your Mac as a completed break, and includes blink, posture and typing reminders.
One thing I cared about from day one was privacy. TouchGrass never asks for Accessibility permission, and everything runs locally on your Mac.
It's my first commercial macOS app, built over months of evenings and weekends. It's currently available with a 7 day free trial, then a one time purchase of $3.99 with lifetime updates.
I'd genuinely love your feedback. I'll be here all day answering questions and taking notes for future updates.
Thank you for checking it out, it really means a lot.
