How it works
A wellness app for people who think wellness apps are a bit much
01
Choose your city
Pick your city, explore starter cafes where available, or add your own favorites. TouchGrounds helps you plan a local cafe routine. Switch cities when you travel.
02
Show up, check in
Get there, tap "Touch grounds, I'm here", order something. That's it. That's the whole practice.
03
Skip without guilt
Can't make it? The cafe automatically reschedules to your next free weekday instead of breaking your streak. Skips reschedule; they never zero you.
Roadmap
Cowork buddies.
Deliberately not dating.
Soon: see when another member locks in the same cafe as you, and opt in to share a table. Same laptop, different company. Every social feature ships opt-in, with block and report from day one - and if you never touch any of it, TouchGrounds stays a very polite scheduling app.
It is not a dating app. We know exactly what happens to apps that pretend otherwise, and we like our cafes too much.

Fair questions.
What is TouchGrounds?+
A free cafe routine app for getting out of the house, at home or while traveling. Choose your city, plan local cafes, and check in when you arrive. If you skip a visit, the cafe reschedules to your next free day.
Is TouchGrounds free?+
Yes - free. If that ever changes, existing users hear it from us first, on this page and by email.
Which cities does TouchGrounds support?+
Choose from 1,373 cities across 203 countries and territories, including Dubai and Nairobi. Starter cafes are available in 1,153 cities. In other cities, search for local cafes or add your own favorites.
Can I change cities when I travel?+
Yes. Choose another city from Today or Settings. Your saved places and visit history stay with you. Pending visits from today onward are replaced with plans for your selected city.
How are starter cafes selected?+
The worldwide starter catalog uses Google Places listings checked for operating status, proximity to the city, a rating of at least 4.2, and at least 200 reviews. Opening hours, Wi-Fi, outlets, and laptop policies can change, so check with the cafe before settling in to work.
Is this a dating app?+
No, on purpose. The roadmap has opt-in cowork-buddy features - see when another member picks the same cafe, share a table - but every social feature is opt-in with block and report built in. If you skip them, TouchGrounds is just a very polite scheduling app.
How do I get the app?+
It's live and free on both the App Store and Google Play - grab it from the download buttons on this page.
