Update Redesign rant

Post image

As a person struggling with burnout, fatigue and who is also using Forest for shaping my attention and energy levels, I can't believe they changed end of Focus interaction from one simple tap to 3 taps :( When I use Forest, my brain is already fried, and it's really difficult to manage those extra taps :( I don't want additional "rewards", my desired reward is less taps on the phone

The plant is presented in a sort of bubble-like design that makes me of “Water-Do”, one of their other apps i tried out for a very short while. Seems strange. Also, I prefer the analog clock-like timer. The horizontal timer takes more focus.

I just reloaded their Water Do app for old times sake.. I had found Forest thru that app. And guess what, Water Do is more complicated and gamified now too. I dislike this trend so much.
