What if someone told you that avoiding your phone and focusing on work could help plant trees in the real world? Forest is a mobile application that plants a virtual tree every time you focus on your work and stay away from your phone. Leaving the app halfway will kill your tree.
Prolonged periods of focused work can eventually turn your tree into a lush forest! This application is a fun and visually stimulating way to stay focused and compete with friends.
The makers behind Forest have collaborated with a tree-planting organization, Trees for the Future, to plant real trees. You can earn and spend virtual coins on Forest and the team behind the app donates to their partner and places orders. Learn more about the app here
