Productivity Apps

Forest App

What does the forest app do? Well, in the simplest of terms, it motivates you to stop using your phone by encouraging you to plant real trees all over the globe. After all, the best time to plant trees was 20 years ago, the second best time is now. How does the app work? Well, the virtual forest you grow in the app withers away and dies when you exit the app. Hence, when you quit the app to check your social media updates, text messages and become unproductive, you kill a tree! How can you grow real trees? Well, you can earn virtual coins from the app which can then be used to plant real trees. Since the launch of the app, over 122, 614 trees have been planted worldwide.
