About Touchgrass Instruments

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

Built for grants and goodwill, not venture capital

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

Nothing is ever silently gone

Mistakes are reversible by design across the suite — Proggy's recoverable Bin, Lejja's correct-by-reversal ledger, Biddit's version history. Undo is a first-class idea, not an afterthought.

Real multi-person collaboration

Every tool has a genuine roles-and-permissions model — staff, trustees, and volunteers can each have the right level of access, including narrow guest views for a funder or board member.

AI that assists, never acts alone

Where AI features exist, they draft and suggest — but nothing is written to your real data without an explicit human review-and-approve step.

Honesty over hype, deliberately

No fake urgency, no manipulative dark patterns. We tell you plainly what a tool does and does not do yet. Trust compounds; manipulation doesn’t.
