Where Does Forest Store Trees and Focus Data?
Forest keeps focus trees, rooms, and achievements in private app storage on Android and iOS, synced to your Forest account with friends lists.
Last updated
Forest grows its data in private app storage with account sync for the durable parts. Planted trees, earned coins, unlocked species, and friend lists follow the login across devices. In progress focus sessions cache locally until they complete.
Deep focus mode complicates reinstalls mid session: killing the app kills the tree, which is the point. Finished history syncs reliably while active timers stay fragile by design. Confirm uploads finished before device wipes.
Where Forest stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/cc.forestapp/files
Private storage for trees, coins, and session cache. Account sync carries history across devices. Finish sessions before reinstalls.
Forest app storage (via Files app or iTunes sharing)
Same account sync model as Android with local session caching. New devices restore on login. Active timers stay fragile.
Frequently asked questions
Do my Forest trees move phones?
Log into the same Forest account and trees, coins, and friends return. Locally cached sessions upload on next launch with connectivity. Reinstalls behave identically to new phones.
How do Forest friend rooms work?
Invite friends to plant together and rooms sync through the account. Solo trees stay personal while room trees share. Timezone differences never affect growth since server time rules.
