In their own words
CollectThemAll
CollectThemAll is a free, open-source companion app for game completionists who track collectibles on interactive maps. Users can filter marker categories, hide found items and follow completion progress by category. On desktop, a global hotkey toggles a transparent, always-on-top overlay that mirrors the active map. The overlay and hotkey are desktop-only and disabled on mobile. Game assets, marker data and found-location progress are stored locally; progress and custom map pins persist in a SQLite database. Maps can be downloaded for offline use, while tiles also stream on demand through a Rust caching proxy that serves cached tiles from disk. The project supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. Desktop installers are available for Windows, macOS and Linux, and an Android APK is attached to releases; building the iOS version requires source. The project is released under the MIT License and directs bug reports and feature requests to GitHub Issues, with questions and ideas in Discussions. A full game's tile set can be a large download over a metered connection.
The Forest Map Companion
The Forest Map Companion is an interactive map and guide for The Forest and Sons of the Forest, available on Android, iOS, and the web. The homepage lists 1,122 markers for The Forest and 1,419 for Sons of the Forest. Map layers include full cave maps, while filters cover locations, collectibles, items, wildlife, and more. Users can mark items as found, check completion counters by category, and move to the next missing item. Custom pins can record bases, caches, and other points of interest; discovery mode hides other markers. Guides provide step-by-step walkthroughs, and recipes specify ingredients and quantities. The free plan includes interactive maps and guides. Full access is listed at $3.99 a month, $6.99 a year, or $6.99, paid once. The homepage labels The Forest 3 as coming soon.
