App name: Forest Creator: Seekrtech What it does: Forest is a productivity and focus app that encourages users to stay off their phones while studying. When you begin a study session, you plant a virtual tree that grows as long as you stay focused. If you leave the app early, the tree withers. Over time, you build an entire forest that represents your focused work. Why it benefits college students: Forest helps students fight procrastination and stay disciplined with their study habits. By turning focus into a fun and rewarding activity, it reduces distractions from social media and creates a visual reminder of productive time. This makes it easier for college students to manage their workload, stay organized, and feel motivated. See more
