“The primary mechanic behind this app is, strangely enough, capitalizing on how guilty you would feel about killing a digital representation of a tree.”

This is sort of a Pomodoro implementation.

It would be neat if they had an API and could be integrated with Beeminder.

If I had to kill a digital tree to save my Tamagotchi I’d do it I’m a heartbeat haha. Still a neat link

I like it! Though not the iPhone-only part. Though by the time I’ve looked at my phone, I’ve already lost. And it doesn’t do anything about loading up random browser tabs.

It’s Android too. I tried it and it’s very nicely done. http://www.forestapp.cc/
