About Forest
Forest is a pomodoro-style focus timer for phones. You pick a focus length and a tree species, and the tree grows while you work. If you leave to use other apps, the tree dies; finish the session and it joins your forest.
Over time the forest becomes a visual record of the time you spent focused. The app has been available since 2014 on iOS and Android and suits students and anyone trying to cut down on phone use and scrolling.
