🌳 Forest - a great example of the growing range of apps that try to change your tech habits and give you more mindfulness and less screentime.
But what is the Forest App exactly?
🌲It’s a smartphone game. But unlike PokemonGo or Candy Crush, Forest a game you play by successfully staying off of your phone.
🎋The app is called Forest because the game is to plant a virtual tree that takes, for example, ten minutes to grow, and as long as you can stay off your phone long enough, the tree will finish growing and be added to your on-screen forest for today, but if you get back on your phone too fast, the tree withers and dies.
And at another level, it’s a tool for timing and measuring your ability to stay off your phone for focused blocks of time.
At last, it is an app providing you an overview of what you do during the day.
