about us

At Touch Grass Connect, we know there’s something special about face-to-face moments—the laughter that doesn’t need emojis, the inside jokes that don’t need a comment section, and the memories that don’t need a filter.

This app isn’t just another digital tool—it’s a movement, a rebellion against the constant pull of screens. And it all started with a mom-and-daughter duo on a mission. After countless late-night talks about how hard it is for kids and teens and parents to build real, lasting friendships in today’s hyper-connected world, we knew we had to do something. So, we built Touch Grass Connect—a way to make it easier (and way more fun) to get off our phones and back into the real world.

Our founding team of moms talked to parents, kids, and child development experts. We dug deep into the research. And at the heart of it all? One simple truth: Real-life connections matter now more than ever.

Why We Built This

We’ve all seen it—kids glued to their screens, friendships reduced to streaks, and social media making everyone feel more connected yet somehow more alone. That’s not how it should be. We wanted to give kids and families an easy way to break free from the endless scroll and start building genuine friendships—on their own terms.

Imagine this:

📍 Meeting up with a friend for pizza and actually smelling that fresh, cheesy goodness together.

🌳 Hearing the crunch of leaves underfoot on a weekend hike.

😂 Making eye contact and really feeling the moment when you crack up over something silly.

That’s what Touch Grass Connect is all about. It’s designed to help you build friendships that don’t just exist in DMs but actually show up in real life.

Let’s Make IRL Happen

We’re here to make it easier to find your people, plan fun hangouts, and create the kind of moments that stick with you—not because they were posted, but because they were felt.

So, let’s do this. Let’s step outside, reconnect, and bring real-life friendships back where they belong—in real life.

Join us. Let’s touch some grass. 🌱💛

We’re a mom-and-daughter team on a mission to help kids swap screen time for face time—real conversations, real laughter, and real memories. With input from child development experts and families like yours, we created Touch Grass to make hanging out IRL simple, safe, and fun
