A different reason to choose an Instagram or Facebook alternative
Looking for an Instagram or Facebook alternative often starts with something quite specific: you still want to see your friends' photographs and hear their news, but you want social media to occupy a smaller part of your day. A change of logo would do little for that wish.
TouchGrass is built around people you know and care about. You can share photographs, write, make recommendations and choose between public, friends and circles audiences. Profiles give those things a place beyond their brief appearance in a feed.
The decisions around that experience matter as much as the features. TouchGrass is independent of Big Tech and designed without public like counts, endless scrolling, algorithmic feeds or native video. We want keeping in touch to have a natural stopping point, with fewer reasons to turn a visit into a habit of checking.
It also connects with Mastodon and Bluesky through their open standards. Choosing an alternative should give people more freedom over their social lives. For us, success means that friends can remain part of your day while the app becomes a smaller claim on it.
