It is an app that helps users to disconnect for a while from their mobile screen. The approach is quite simple: we decide how long we want to spend without leaving the app and in return, we will be taking care of our ‘virtual forest’. We set a window of time during which a tree will grow healthy, and if we fail, the tree will die.

The longer we are without using our mobile, the more trees we will plant and the bigger our forest will be. And the more trees we plant, the more coins we’ll get to invest in buying new species of virtual trees to customize our forest. If we do not comply with this ‘disconnection’ and use another application, dead trees will appear in the forest.

In addition, thanks to Forest, users are collaborating with the Trees organization for the Future, which plants real trees in deforested areas. So far, more than 145 million trees have been planted in a dozen countries, of which 436,491 have originated from Forest. To participate, you simply have to save the coins that we get in the app, go to the Royal Forest option and invest a few (between 2,500 and 5,000). Then, Forest will request the planting of a tree and our “disconnection” will become something positive for society and the environment.
