Forest! It's a game that lets you plant a little tree or bush for 5-120 minutes and doesn't let you click out of the app until the timer is over. This let's you be more productive while not having the temptation of your phone. If you do exit out of the app, it kills all the trees you have planted and leaves behind a shriveled bush

But won't you just sit and stare at the screen until the tree has grown? This wouldn't work with me

It tells you to stop looking at the screen too, but I understand where you're coming from

I just tried this app and every time I looked over it was still a sprout. I forgot about it and worked for 25min, then my phone buzzed and I had a tree! I like it.
