Software for people who'd rather be making the work than doing the admin.

Touchgrass Instruments builds tools for theatres, galleries, festivals, and community arts organisations who are priced out of mainstream SaaS — built for grant-funded, volunteer-heavy, project-based teams, not generic offices.

Our flagship, in the making

Turn nearby strangers into real-life connection.

Hoomins is what we're building next. The Touchgrass Sweet is what you can use today — tools that already help small arts organisations run their projects, books, bids, and workshops, with free forecasting alongside.
