The Forest

Rediscover the joy of getting lost on the web

The Forest is a Raycast extension that opens a random website from theforest.link and keeps a lightweight local walk history so you can quickly revisit or copy previous discoveries.

Commands

• Go for a Walk opens a random website planted in The Forest.
• View Walk History lists up to 100 previous walks with actions to reopen or copy their URLs.
• Plant a Website submits a website for consideration using The Forest's public planting form.
• Open The Forest opens the original interactive forest.

AI tools

• Take a Walk discovers a random site, saves it to history, and returns a link.
• Get Walk History retrieves up to 100 previous discoveries.
• Clear Walk History clears saved discoveries after user confirmation.
• Plant Website submits a URL after showing exactly what may become publicly discoverable.

Product plan

Version 1

• Keep the core walk one keystroke away with a no-view command.
• Resolve and save each walk locally so discoveries can be revisited later.
• Match the website's planting flow in a native, validated Raycast form.
• Preserve an escape hatch to the original interactive experience.

Follow-ups

• Consider favorites if the walk history proves useful and people want permanent curation.
• Add Raycast AI tools only if they preserve the site's intentionally algorithm-free discovery experience.
• Revisit submission handling if The Forest publishes a documented API contract.
