What I Built
🌲 TrailLens: AI that helps you touch grass.
Most modern apps are engineered like digital slot machines: algorithms designed to monopolize attention, maximize daily active screen time, and keep human eyes glued to glowing glass. Even outdoor companion apps often clutter the experience with social feeds, notification pings, and gamified loops that pull you out of the moment.
TrailLens flips this paradigm on its head.
"The best TrailLens session is one where the user spends very little time looking at TrailLens."
