    Because forest does not block apps, it just gives you motivation not to use them. I also think StayFocusd may end up taking over my phone and I do not trust it.

    stay focused had a strict mode that helps us to forcefully stay away from your mobile. Scheduled screen lock with exceptions where you can add a few important apps is stand out feature. I would rate it as one of the best app for students.
