Active Challenges : The Big Plog | The Big Bloom

Forestr.org · Community apps

Take five for yourself.
Take action for the Earth.

Two free apps, made for the Forestr community. TakeFive helps you reset your mind in a few quiet minutes. Challenges turns your steps, cleanups, and green habits into a game you play with friends. Keeping our community healthy — so we can help keep the Earth healthy.

Free to download & use — no membership needed

Two apps, one rhythm — restore inward, act outward.

Breathe in

TakeFive gives you a few minutes to steady your mind, so you show up with more to give.

Step out

Challenges turns that energy into steps walked, litter cleared, and habits shared with friends.

Take five. Reset.

Five minutes to come back to yourself. Interactive breathing, mindfulness, and meditation made simple — so you can ease stress, sharpen focus, and feel more like yourself, one short session at a time.

  • Starts with how you feel. A quick morning check-in tunes the day to where you actually are.
  • Five ways to reset. Breathe, Mindfulness, Retreat, Affirm Me, and a Meditation Timer.
  • Affirmations that fit you. Pick topics like focus or resilience — TakeFive remembers them for next time.
