A smartphone can be a major distraction when we are studying. Although we promise ourselves to study straight through an hour, it lures us with notifications on its bright screen which make us tap on them at last. Once we enter the endless world made by the small rectangular screen, time flies while surfing Instagram and having a chit-chat through KakaoTalk. However, you can turn this temptation into a study helper with a simple click. With these apps, you can reduce smartphone usage while effectively managing your working time.

 

Forest

Price: 2,500 won 

Forest is an app that helps people overcome phone addiction and manage their time in an interesting way: by helping you create your own virtual forest! The app works in a very simple way. First, set the time period during which you want to avoid smartphone usage and focus on something else. Second, choose a type of tree depending on the length of the time you selected. Remember, the longer you set the time, the fancier the tree will be. The tree will grow while you focus on your work. Lastly, if you succeed in concentrating on your work and avoid using your phone for the set period, you will get a tree added to your virtual forest. However, if you use your smartphone during the time you set, the tree will die and a withered tree will be added to your forest. You can see an overview of your forest on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Turn your hard work into a land of lush trees with the Forest app!
