Grass Gate: my feeds only unlock after an open-weight model sees me outside

Описание и применение

Grass Gate ограничивает бесконечное прокручивание лент, требуя от пользователя выполнить короткую прогулку на свежем воздухе, подтверждённую офлайн‑моделью компьютерного зрения, прежде чем открыть доступ к сайтам на 30 минут.

Задача

Users lose hours scrolling feeds before realizing they should be outside.

Результат

Grass Gate limits doomscrolling by requiring users to complete a short outdoor quest verified by an on‑device vision model before unlocking feeds for a limited time.

Рабочий процесс

• Block feed sites with a Chrome Manifest V3 extension
• Open Grass Gate PWA on phone and request a quest
• App selects a nearby real place from OpenStreetMap and provides walking directions
• User walks to the location and takes a photo
• On-device CLIP ViT‑B/32 model checks photo for outdoors and target (e.g., water)
• If checks pass, app generates a one‑time 6‑digit code
• User enters code on blocked page to unlock feeds for 30 minutes

Доказательства

Grass Gate is a doomscroll lock that only opens outdoors.

Источник

An open-weight vision model running on the phone checks two things: am I actually outdoors, and is that actually water?

Источник

The app works on its own: quests, the on-device photo check, the journal, streaks and stamps.
