About
Forest offers a mobile app and browser extension that encourages focused work sessions through a simple gamified approach. Users plant a virtual tree and set a timer; the tree grows during sustained focus but dies if the app is left. This method builds a personal forest representing accumulated productive time, available across iOS, Android, and desktop platforms.
The app supports strategic focus habits with features like detailed statistics, achievement unlocks, collaborative planting with friends, and customizable allow lists for essential apps. Users track time distribution, view weekly and monthly progress, and integrate with health apps for screen time monitoring. A one-time purchase unlocks premium elements such as advanced stats and soundscapes.
Forest connects digital discipline to environmental impact by partnering with Trees for the Future. Virtual coins earned from focus sessions fund real tree planting, with over 1,900,000 trees planted by users. This measured link fosters sustainable habits that extend beyond personal productivity.
