TAKE A DIGITAL DETOX WITH THESE APPS

FOREST

This is an app that rewards every moment you spend away from your device. Whenever you complete a task without being distracted by your phone, open the

Forest app and

‘plant a seed’.

You can plant another after each task has been done until a tree grows. Forest will then plant a tree in the real world.
