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

说明与用途

Grass Gate 通过要求用户完成一项短途户外任务，并由手机端视觉模型验证后，限制无休止的滚动，解锁网站仅30分钟。

问题

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

结果

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.

工作流

• 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

证据

Grass Gate is a doomscroll lock that only opens outdoors.

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

来源

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