Description

## Top productivity app in 136 countries. More than 2 million satisfied paying users. Featured in Apple's "Amazing Apps" TV commercial. ## Staying focused with the cutest gamified timer. ## Over 1,500,000 real trees were planted on Earth by our users. "Forest works well, and if your goal is to be more in the moment, ignore your phone and actually talk to your friends when you are with them, this is the app for you."— The New York Times "In order to establish new, better habits, it's helpful to engage with tools that make it easier to reinforce them. For anyone looking to curtail their phone usage, the Forest app might be for you."— Business Insider If you want to temporarily put down your phone and focus on what’s more important in real life, you can plant a seed in Forest. As time goes by, this seed will gradually grow into a tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation of using your phone and leave the app, your tree will wither. The sense of achievement and responsibility will encourage you to stay away from your phone, and will help you make better use of your time. Stop getting distracted by your phone, make you self-motivated and get more things done. Stay focused, Be present! STAY FOCUSED • A interesting way to help you beat phone addiction and overcome distraction • Turn your focused moments into a lush forest. • Create personalized Allow Lists for different situations. Non-allowed apps will be blocked. (iOS 16 or above) GET MOTIVATED • Earn rewards and unlock more than 90 new tree species and white noises. • Share your forest and compete with friends and users around the world. • Plant trees along with friends & family. • Unlock achievements and earn extra rewards. • Plant real trees on Earth and protect the environment with tree-planting organization Trees for the Future. STATISTICS • Manage your own tags and view detailed statistics of your time distribution. • Browse your weekly, monthly and even your yearly big forest. • Track your focused time in the Apple Health App. • Track your daily phone usage and screen time. • Recall memories of your planting journey with our brand new Forest Timeline! It's never too late to build up productive habits! NOTICE • Forest is compatible with iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and can be used across these iOS devices with a one-time purchase. The full app with the aforementioned features is available on iPhone and iPad; on Apple Watch you can view live planting session and today’s focus stats. To download or unlock a non-iOS version, it requires a separate purchase. By logging into the same account, your data can be synchronized across all platforms. • Due to iOS limitations, the Allow List feature is only available on iOS/iPadOS 16 or above. If you’re using a device running iOS/iPadOS 15 or below, your tree will wither when you leave Forest during a planting session. • Due to budget constraint, the number of real trees each user can plant is limited to five. We will be introducing limited time events that will allow users to plant more real trees. Please follow our social media page or check the in-app announcement for more updates. • There is only one version of Forest on the App Store. Other apps that are similar and mimics Forest are not developed by the Forest team. Thank you for your support!

  • Good tools for focusing!

    It’s a good tool for me to be focusing during work and study.
  • Focus app sending spammy notifications

    By Nobody 1783
    When the focus app started interrupting me multiple times a day with notifications to tell me I can earn 3x their imaginary coins if I give them money every month, it got deleted. Weird choice guys.
  • You can’t plant real trees

    Upset. I wanted to use the real forest option to plant a real tree, as the app says you can. I keep getting a 403 error message. Will change if fixed
  • Push notifications to upgrade

    I’ve gotten 4 push notifications in 24 hours to upgrade my app. This is terrible and obnoxious.

    As someone who has always struggled with attention for repetitive or boring work tasks (paperwork, documentation, etc.) This has been a godsend. I was racking up way too much work time watching YT Shorts or TikTok, not because I wanted to, but because I’d get sucked into the vortex anytime I picked up my phone. Well no more! I’ve enabled Deep Focus and locked out virtually every app that could distract me, and having something that depends on me staying focused completely reshaped my relationship with these tasks. I now WANT to spend time on them so I can keep growing trees and earning coins. I know gamification doesn’t work for a lot of people, but as a life-long millennial gamer, it has become an essential feature of any app I purchase. It keeps enabling me to stick to things I normally would’ve given up on in a few days (just passed one year of daily German lessons via Duolingo and now Busuu). If gamification works for you too, then just stop reading and buy the app already! The reason I dinged a star is due to how many microtransactions the app contains. I get it, it’s one of the only profitable ways to sustain an app company, but it feels like it’s nudging you to spend or buy on every page of the app except for study time. Even then, it’ll remind you how you could be getting 3x the coins if you sign up for Plus. Keep in mind, you have to pay $4 to use this app, making it a premium purchase. I get plastering that stuff everywhere when you offer a free membership option, but that’s not the case here. If the company is struggling to make ends meet, then start charging more, but whatever you do, lighten up on the gacha mechanics. Not saying they need to go, just that they shouldn’t be up in my face on every window.
  • Definitely helps focus, but

    I really like this app. I like that I can choose which apps to make inaccessible during deep focus. It’s fun to build the forest, BUT I had a lot of points earned and trees purchased before the app update and after the update I was had to start at zero points in the bank and zero trees. Not good.
  • Please add a randomizer button!

    By EcoDash11
    The concept is great. The UI is ok. But one thing I’d love to see the most is a random plant selector when I’m setting a new timer! Please add
  • Very good!

    It helped me a lot with my daily tasks, I feel a lot more confident and focused. It seems to help people with ADHD also, because of the focusing thing. Thanks app!
  • The coin system seems broken, but there's daily challenges so that helps.

    By Lacie Elaine
    This app is great for nerodivergent people and people with ADHD or who just can't seem to make time in their schedule to lock in or breathe without picking up the phone (I'm all of the above lol).
