Opal: Screen Time for Focus has become an indispensable tool in my quest for productivity and mindful technology usage. From the moment I started using it, I noticed a significant improvement in my ability to stay focused and on task. The app's interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate, making it simple to set up and customize according to my preferences. Setting daily screen time limits and scheduling focused time intervals has helped me regain control over my digital habits. I appreciate the flexibility to adjust settings based on my changing needs and commitments. One standout feature of Opal is its ability to block distracting apps during designated focus sessions. This has been a game-changer for me, as it prevents me from mindlessly scrolling through social media or getting lost in email when I should be concentrating on important tasks. Furthermore, the app provides insightful usage statistics, allowing me to track my progress over time and identify areas for improvement. The visual representation of my screen time habits serves as a powerful motivator to stay disciplined and make positive changes. Overall, Opal: Screen Time for Focus has exceeded my expectations and become an essential tool in my daily routine. Whether you're a student, professional, or anyone looking to reclaim control over their digital life, I highly recommend giving this app a try.

I spent a lot of time sinking into pornography, wanting to focus on studying, but every time I felt stressed, my mind craved dopamine. Coming from completely quitting addictions, my mind found pornography as its escape corner (a terrible one). I tried many apps, and none allowed me true focus like Opal did. (My mind hates it, and my soul thanks it.) In this digital era, where the junk information we feed our minds has created negative mental circuits, Opal is a solid app that, with its DEEP FOCUS mode, truly blocks ALL dumb scrolling (by setting a limit on how much time I can use social media in my case) or blocking unwanted content (in this case, adult content in the browser). Even uninstalling the app doesn’t remove the block—it’s brutal. That said, DEEP FOCUS mode is only available for premium users, but honestly, I didn’t think twice about paying; it’s WORTH IT. Now I have it on both my phones, and I wish I could put it on my PC (Windows) because, besides loving how it looks, it’s undoubtedly the tool that helps me the most in my journey to a better version of myself. Of course, this is alongside exercise and education, but without a doubt, Opal is a tool that helps you grow and use your phone as a tool that connects you to your best self, not one that pulls you away from it. Thank you so much, and I truly hope to see the app available for Windows soon.

I’ve used this app for two months now and it works great if you want to add an extra barrier to your social media consumption but for me personally it has not worked how I hoped. I don’t like that it notifies me 5 mins before my app limits is about to hit because I just go in and change the time from 1 hour to 2 hours and so on. I also struggle a lot with breaking the habit of mindless scrolling when I have some free time and I get sucked it and that’s when I start to change the opal settings. I would like if they could have the option to turn off the notifications when they tell your snooze session is going to end or when the app limit will hit. I would also like to choose a level weekly or daily. Maybe have like a limited snooze time for example in a day you can only snooze for 20 mins total etc. or you can only change the settings 1-2 times per week. Make it a little harder for those who struggle the most. Also, I would like to get a notification or something while I am in certain apps. For example after 3 mins of being on the app you can send a notification for me to be aware that I’ve spent too much time or that im wasting my time. Or something that can help stop the mindless scrolling even when it’s during the permitted period. Not so much avoid it (like blocking the app) but to minimize it
