About
Forest is a productivity app that helps users stay off their smartphones by growing virtual trees during focus sessions. If you leave the app to browse your phone, your tree dies — creating a gamified incentive to stay on task. Users can also earn credits to have real trees planted around the world.
Problem
People find it hard to stay focused and resist the urge to check their phones while working or studying.
For
individuals who struggle with smartphone distractions and want to improve focus
How it works
Users plant a virtual tree that grows during a timed focus session; leaving the app kills the tree, and accumulated credits can fund real tree planting.
