Dónde Plantamos
Financiamos reforestación verificada mediante socios de plantación de confianza y publicamos nuestro impacto a medida que crece.
Trabajo agroforestal impulsado por la comunidad en el oeste de Kenia para restaurar tierras degradadas y apoyar medios de vida locales.

Un proyecto de restauración centrado en recuperar la cobertura forestal nativa en Lushoto tras los daños por incendios.
Trees for the Future plants food forests with smallholder farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa. Their Forest Garden model trains farmers to grow trees, vegetables, and cash crops on the same land, restoring soil while supporting long-term local income.

Tree-Nation restores native forests in 35+ countries, including Madagascar, Senegal, and Tanzania. They focus on species native to each region, which gives planted forests stronger survival rates and better long-term ecological value than monoculture planting.

Ecosia, Mossy Earth, direct donations, and IdleForest all help in different ways. IdleForest is the extra passive layer: install it once, keep your habits, and let it add funding in the background.
A passive layer that runs beside the browser and computer you already use.
A search engine that turns everyday searches into funding for tree planting.
A field-led rewilding membership with biologists, project updates, and deep conservation work.
Straightforward support for charities or local projects you already trust.
Stack your impact
You can use Ecosia, support Mossy Earth, donate directly, and still add IdleForest in the background.
Different strengths
Search tools are great for daily habits. Rewilding memberships fund expert field teams. IdleForest adds passive funding without replacing either.
Idle bandwidth is the part of your internet connection you are not using. Most of the time, your connection sits at a small fraction of its capacity. The rest is wasted.
IdleForest puts that unused capacity to work. The app routes small data tasks through your connection, like checking website uptime or running market research queries. These tasks are sessionless: they do not carry personal data, cookies, or browsing history.
Clients pay for those tasks. We take that revenue and send it to our reforestation partners. The result: you plant trees with bandwidth you were not using anyway. The cost to you is zero.
This model is why IdleForest is free. We do not need your money, your search history, or your email. We just need the gigabytes you would have wasted.

Yes. There is no subscription, no donation, no signup, and no paid tier. IdleForest is funded by revenue from idle bandwidth tasks, not by you.
No. IdleForest uses only the bandwidth you are not using. When you start a video call, open a heavy site, or download a file, IdleForest steps back.
You can also pause it at any time from the extension menu.
The app uses your unused internet bandwidth to power small backend tasks for paying clients. Revenue from those tasks funds tree planting with partners like Trees for the Future, Tree-Nation, and 1ClickImpact.
You can see the live count of trees funded on our transparency page.
Idle bandwidth is the part of your internet connection that is not being used. Most home connections sit below their full capacity most of the time.
IdleForest uses that unused capacity to generate revenue, then routes that revenue to verified reforestation.
Yes. IdleForest does not change how you browse or what search engine you use. It works alongside Ecosia, Brave, Chrome, and Edge.
You can stack the impact from IdleForest with other environmentally focused tools.
None of your personal browsing data. The traffic that runs through IdleForest is sessionless, meaning it does not carry cookies, personal identifiers, or browsing history.
The app does not read your tabs, bookmarks, or search history. See our privacy policy for the full breakdown.
No. Tasks are limited to uptime monitoring, market research, and similar passive data collection from public sites.
IdleForest does not participate in ad fraud, crypto mining, scraping private data, or malicious activity. We publish more detail in our transparency report.
IdleForest has funded 5,364 trees through our partners. We update the monthly total on the transparency report as new partner records are added.
See the transparency report for the latest breakdown by partner and region.
Active desktop users usually generate around $2-$5 per month, depending on location, how often the app is running, and how much spare capacity is available. One person's contribution is modest, but across a community it becomes steady funding for verified trees.
The more users join, the more idle bandwidth becomes available, and the more trees can be funded.
Not yet. IdleForest runs as a Chrome extension and as a desktop app for Mac and Windows.
Mobile is on the roadmap, but mobile networks usually have less idle bandwidth than home connections, so the impact per user would be lower. We will launch when the math works.
Yes. Remove the Chrome extension from your extensions menu, or uninstall the desktop app like any other application.
Once uninstalled, no bandwidth is used and no data is collected. The trees you have already helped fund stay funded.
IdleForest es una extensión de navegador y app de escritorio para reforestación. No está asociada con el juego móvil "Idle Forest".
