Forest

Forest is a focus and time management tool that that motivates users to stay off their phones and remain focused on tasks by growing virtual trees. The longer users focus, the more their trees grow, forming a lush digital forest. If they exit the app to use their phone, the tree withers and dies, creating a playful yet effective deterrent against distractions.

Features:

• Focus Timer: Set customisable focus sessions using a countdown timer to stay on task.

• Gamified Tree Planting: Earn and grow trees with every successful focus session; maintain a virtual forest representing your productivity.

• Deep Focus Mode: Exiting the app during a session will result in killing the tree, helping users build discipline.

• Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Stats: Track focus trends, time spent concentrating, and personal bests.

• Forest Timeline: Visual history of your focus progress across time.

• Unlockable Tree Species: Earn rewards and collect different types of trees as achievements.

• Team and Friends Mode: Compete with friends or join collective planting sessions to encourage mutual focus.

• Real Tree Planting (via Forest team): Users can contribute to planting real trees around the world by spending in-app coins earned through focus sessions.
