Forest helps you stay focused by planting virtual trees. When you want to focus, plant a tree and avoid using your phone. The tree grows as you stay off your device. Stop distractions, increase productivity, and do something good for yourself and nature.
In today’s hyper-connected world, staying focused can feel like a real challenge. Social media, notifications, and endless distractions constantly pull us away from the things that matter. That’s why we created Forest — to help people reclaim their time, improve focus, and build better habits in a fun, gentle, and rewarding way.
Forest turns your moments of focus into a small act of growth. Whenever you want to concentrate, you plant a virtual tree. The longer you stay away from your phone, the more your tree grows. But if you exit the app to check something else — the tree withers. This simple visual feedback creates a powerful incentive to stay present and productive.
What makes Forest special is that your virtual focus can also make a real-world impact. We’ve partnered with tree-planting organizations so that when users earn virtual coins, they can contribute to planting real trees around the world. So while you grow a digital forest, you're helping reforest the Earth.
We’re proud to say Forest has helped millions of users find balance, focus deeply, and build healthier digital habits — one tree at a time. We hope it helps you too.
Forest started as a weekend experiment. I was struggling with staying focused while working remotely, constantly switching tabs and checking my phone.
I thought — what if focus could feel like progress? What if you could see it?
So we built Forest: stay focused, and you grow a tree. Stay distracted, and the tree dies. Simple, visual, and strangely motivating.
We’ve been using it ourselves every day—and we’d love to see how you use it too. 🌳
