The next chapter for Grass starts today.
We are officially live with the Grass Android app, bringing the network closer to more people, more devices, and more of everyday life.
You can now download Grass directly to your Android phone. No desktop required. No browser extension. Just your phone, running Grass quietly in the background, helping grow the network while you earn from a resource you didn’t even know you had.
Grass began as a browser extension. Then came the Desktop app, a faster, more stable way to contribute unused internet. Now, with Android, Grass goes wherever you go. You keep earning, even when you leave the house.
For many people, their phone is the primary way they access the internet. Supporting Android lowers the barrier to entry and expands access globally. We’re meeting people where they are. More users, more regions, more ways to grow the network together.
How It Works
Install the app. Sign in. And you’re good to go.
Once it's running, you'll see a small icon in your status bar to show you're connected. The app is optimized for low power usage and typically uses just 5-10% of battery over a full day, similar to popular messaging apps running in the background. It automatically pauses on low battery, poor connection, and you can stop or pause it at any time.
Just like with the desktop app, it is impossible for Grass to see your private data or view your activity. The app only uses your unused internet bandwidth. If you want to learn more about how privacy and security works on Grass, check out this write up.
In the spirit of the network, the Android app is available as a direct download from the Grass site or dashboard.
Why This Matters
Grass on Android makes it simpler than ever to connect, and stay online, even when you’re on the move.
The more accessible the network becomes, the more powerful it gets, and the more that value is shared with the people who make it work.
To mark the launch, Android users will earn 3x Grass Points for a limited time.
If you’re already contributing, adding your Android phone is a super easy way to boost uptime and rewards. And if you’re new here, there has never been an easier way to start. Welcome.
