Flora review

Flora works like a tree-growing focus timer with a stronger social side. You pick a focus length and start growing a tree; if you leave the app for social media or games, the tree is killed. When you plant with friends and everyone stays off their phones, each person wins an extra tree, and you can chat and share progress to keep the group on track. Beyond the timer, Flora includes a to-do list with reminders, lets you tag trees to tasks, and tracks habits with daily, weekly and monthly statistics. The developer says Flora has more than 2,500,000 users and offers opt-in services to plant real trees through partners such as Trees for the Future and Eden Reforestation Projects. Flora is free to download, with in-app purchases on the US App Store. Its limits are platform reach and strictness: the App Store version is iPhone only, there is no desktop app, and there is no hard lock.

Students who stay focused better when friends are watching.
