In a world where multitasking is the norm, Forest encourages you to focus on one task at a time before moving on to the next. Train to home in on your to-dos with laser focus – this habit-building app knows just how to keep you motivated.
We knew we loved it when: We planted our first seed in the app’s virtual forest. Start a timer when you’re ready to focus, and that seed will slowly grow into a towering tree over time. You’ll also earn coins in the app, which you can use to plant real trees and do your part for the environment.

Our favourite discovery: Using the “plant together” feature to include friends and family in our sessions. Staying productive is far easier when you’re keeping each other accountable and inspired.

The biggest surprise: How well the app works with our device’s Focus mode to give us a personalised experience. For example, we get to decide which apps can still send us notifications, so we don’t have to worry about missing what’s important.
