Forest

Forest is a productivity app with a difference. We’ve seen Cold Turkey that will lock you out of your phone or computer to allow you to focus on your work. Well, Forest allows you to be more in control of your choices and device use instead of just locking you out.

You start with a little seedling and over the time you leave your phone, it will grow into a bush or tree. The longer you leave it, the bigger it will be and the more you do will reward you with coins. You can then use coins to unlock new types of trees to create a unique forest.
