What is ‘forest’
- Thread starter kathyk123
- Start date
Forest is an app that helps you stay focused on the important things in life. Whenever you want to stay focused, plant a tree. Your tree will grow while you focus on your work. Leaving the app halfway will cause your tree to die.
Forest - Stay focused, be present

See if it's hidden. Go to Setting, then Apps, then See All XX apps. Check to see if you can find the app there
It's a Samsung process, so I can imagine it being an app you can only launch from the system settings and so appears as a system setting even if implemented separately.
I've never seen any sign of it on my s21, but I could imagine that it's been replaced by that POS "Digital Wellbeing" (which you can't disable, can't stop because it restarts immediately, and uses power even if you've turned off its access to everything so it actually has nothing to do).

its part of the digital well being app which is a system app as suggeted by @Hadron. there is no need to worry about this process.

Since the days of TouchWiz, Samsung has always had a sort of nature aesthetic to their phones, and still clings to this with their famous Over the Horizon ringtone. It's one of those little nuances that sold Samsung phones to me over the years since nature and skeuomorphism were my two favorites. Forest is probably just another remnant of the TouchWiz Nature UX era, like Over the Horizon. It means nothing so don't worry about it.
Many apps have weird names as part of their APK entry, which displays similary in apps manager. If you want to see weird, Facebook's full name has 'Katana' in it, even though the app has nothing to do with swords.
The only time I worry about an app is when the entry has some instance of 'cheetah' in it. Such as 'com.cheetah.batterydoctor.apk' Cheetah Mobile is infamous for being malware and gathering data they have no right to access.
