If your problem is your phone — you grab it during work — Forest's "kill the tree" pressure is genuinely useful. Keep it.
When Promodify wins
- You work on a laptop and your phone isn't the problem.
- You want a real 50/10 or 90/15 deep work block, not just 25/5.
- You're tired of gamification and just want a clean timer.
- You want the countdown visible in your tab bar, not in a separate app.
