What it does
Privacy-first Android app to track outdoor time. Do you spend too much time looking at a screen? TouchGrass is the simple way to track your time in nature. Whether you want to increase your sunlight exposure or just need a nudge to go for a walk, TouchGrass helps you find your balance. Most trackers want your data. TouchGrass only wants you to enjoy the fresh air. The app learns your schedule and sends a nudge when it’s the best time to head out—without ever sending your location to the cloud.

touch grass2025 · touchgrass.now · ▲525I wanted old school social media back. Actual connections with friends. Not pity likes and performances and highlight reels. All my friends have stopped posting. Everyone's a lurker now. I'm a lurker. The only time I see what anyone's doing is when it's a humblebrag. I have no idea what's actually going on in my friends' lives besides the ones I see every week or so. So I built touch grass. You post once a week: 3 easy questions, max 3 photos. Sunday 6pm mountain time (yeah its my time zone) everyone's posts unlock at the same time. You catch up on what your people have been doing, then…

I built a daily sunlight tracker2025 · lumehealth.io · ▲46I kept trying to explain how important outdoor light is and how most people aren’t getting enough. Eventually I figured that showing is more effective than telling. So we built a free app that uses your Apple Watch or iPhone to automatically track your light exposure throughout the day. It tells you if you’re getting enough, shows you how consistent you are, and rewards habits that support hormone balance. It's in beta on TestFlight, let me know what you think!

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
