A really cool concept to try and keep us off our phones 24/7, Forest promotes
strong focus and you are rewarded with a tree that grows over time.
The longer you focus, the more of a "forest you grow".. and if you turn off the app, your trees die... as does your pride.
If you plant enough trees, then "Trees for the Future", a non-profit will help plant real trees on sustainable land to grow more vibrant communities in growing nations.
