Track your productivity with Forest.
Forest tracks your productivity and lets you visualize your progress in the form of a tree. If you stay focused for 30 minutes, the tree blooms fully; if you leave the app during that time period, the tree dies.
The goal is to eventually have a forest of trees that represents the hard work you put in.
