One of the most amazing apps

I started using opal about a month ago and it’s been really helpful because it helps you establish a level of self-control in a healthy way. The features are really amazing, even though I’m not using the paid version, and I can still keep track of how my time is spent over the day. Opal is the best app for people who want to reduce their screen time and start being more productive. It’s more beneficial than the built in screen time on the phone, and it’s free, so it’s a win-win.

The only thing that I would personally like is to have a monthly review but that’s available only for the paid version. I would really appreciate it if that would be available for free users because that’s really going to boost our productivity watching the numbers go down monthly.

Want to reduce screen time? This is a great app!

I love opal for its easy setup and the fact that it uses Apple Screentime features for its blocking is great. But there is something funny.. sometimes when you open Apple Music since the name is simply Music in your iPhone it sometimes shows “Make Music, not Music” I have screenshots of it too.

One suggestion from me would be some task system maybe integrated with Microsoft Tasks or other services so that you’d get some currency (probably diamonds or opals) and you can buy snoozes from these (it would have its own mode).
