Just as the name suggests, Forest is the app that provides you a feel of a forest when you’re stuck at home. Many of you are doing work from home and you may feel various distractions during the session. Forest helps you to eliminate those distractions and help you focus more on your task which in turn increases your productivity. You will have to plant a virtual tree in the app and stay focused.
