Productivity at its finest

This app is the brilliant solution to staying productive. It allows you to control how and when you need to: 1. stay focused 2. Stay free from social media for a few mins or a few hours. 3. Whether you need to be deep in focus, or whether you would like to be able to check your apps every now and then. I’ve been using it for a year now and I’ve found a huge increase in my productivity at work and honestly at home as well. I’m not looking at social media as much anymore and that’s keeping my brain free from the craziness it can bring. You also have control of what you block, when you block it and for how long. Maybe you just want to stay off your phone for that; meeting, date night or that lunch with your friend. Opal will help you do that. Best part is that each week I can see how much time, I’ve given back to myself by not being on my phone. This app is gold. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed honestly

Needs some improvement

Fixed some of the bugs that I’ve had in the past, but now new ones have popped up. For example, it’s putting time restrictions on apps I haven’t even blocked during work hours which means their widgets don’t work at all. But other than that it’s great.
I have 2 app suggestions which would be great features. I don’t mind if you have to make these premium, I would probably pay for them:
1. Lunch break option during work hours. I hate being restricted from notifications while at lunch and having to do a 15 min break 4 times per lunch hour is super irritating. So maybe an option for lunch just 1 per day so I don’t always have to tap “leave early” then remember to re launch the session?
2. An inbuilt pomodoro timer feature. Similar to the above, I use other pomodoro timer apps but it’s just too annoying to switch between them and opal when I want to have my 5 min or long break. But if you add these please make sure the timer doesn’t start until the user approves, as we should be able to work over the timer if required.

Elle Woods Study Method ✅ 📑

This app has transformed my lifestyle, I used to struggle with focusing on my studies and homework with the various distractions on my my phone - homework was piling up fast with none completed because of all my apps in my way. As soon as I started using Opal I was more motivated to focus on my tasks ahead, start your semester with Opal for better grades. The Elle Woods Study Method is highly recommended and consists of putting study first in result of something motivating you to, this app motivated me. It has decreased my screen time to less than an hour a day, my life is happier and I feel more complete. Not only is it fantastic for studying, but for my sleep schedule as well. My sleep schedule was all over the shop with sleep ins because of late nights and endless scrolls on my devices, now with Opal I have more energy and rest hence a good day ahead. I highly recommend.
