Forest
Put down your phone and stay focused. Or a tree will die. 🌳😵
Forest launched on September 7, 2014 with 533 votes, #4 of 2,087 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.
In plain words
Forest is a focus app available on Android, iOS, iPad, and as a browser extension for Safari and other browsers. When users start a focus session, a virtual tree grows on their screen. If they leave the app to use their phone or browse elsewhere, the tree dies. The app gamifies staying focused by rewarding uninterrupted work sessions with a growing forest of trees, making it suitable for anyone needing help maintaining concentration during work or study.
