About this app
Overview, features and application details
Forest turns focus into a game: plant a virtual tree, put your phone down, and watch it grow. Pick your phone up too soon and the tree withers.
Forest is the focus app for people who can't stop checking their phone. Here's how it works: you plant a virtual seed and set a timer. As long as you leave your phone alone, the seed grows into a tree. Touch your phone to scroll, and the tree dies. Simple, and weirdly motivating.
Over days and weeks your finished sessions grow into a forest — a visual record of focused time you're proud of. You can plant with friends, so everyone's trees live or die together, which adds real social pressure to stay off your screen.
The app also partners with a tree-planting organization, so focused time can turn into real trees. It's a Pomodoro-style timer, a habit builder, and a small guilt trip, all in one.
