'The Forest App' is a productivity-focused application that encourages workers to focus on their tasks. The productivity app works by allowing users to grow virtual trees by simply leaving the app open. Closing, minimizing, or switching the application's tab will kill the tree that is currently growing, encouraging users to focus on their work in order to progress.
This new collaboration with 'TinyTAN,' the animated 'BTS' characters owned by 'Big Hit Entertainment,' allows users to grow BTS-themed installations, which appear as TinyTAN characters sitting in a growing garden, instead of regular trees. Additionally, as part of this collaboration, The Forest App is donating one real tree to the 'Frees for the Future' organization, which will plant one tree in real life for each digital tree donated.
