The perfect app in the perfect time and I wish I had this application a long time ago, but it arrives better late than never. Also, I wish that to complete the beauty of this application, they would put a feature to automatically snooze, for example: I set a time to block applications for 30 minutes, and snooze after that for 5 minutes, and so on for another time. Large, I put it, for example, from seven in the morning until three in the evening. I think this feature exists, but I am somewhat ignorant about the application. Thank you
A Game-Changer for Focus and Screen Time Control 🔥

Opal is honestly one of the best apps I’ve ever used for productivity. It helped me focus on my goals in a way no other app could. My distractions dropped insanely, and my screen time has decreased drastically since I started using it. It also helped me break my bad habit of doom scrolling, which I struggled with for a long time. The app is simple, effective, and actually works. If you’re serious about improving focus and taking control of your phone usage, Opal is perfectly amazing and absolutely worth it.
I thank the app maker very much

An application is not just an application. It is able to change my life in a positive way. I am a student. I was suffering from a drop in my grades because I sat for a long time on my phone. This application helped me reduce my use of the phone and do good things like studying for a long time without wasting time on the phone. I noticed a noticeable increase in my grades. I thank its maker. Extremely
Optimistic, no ads, and simple as cake.

This is the type of app that I would only recommend to the closest of my friends for how much I truly care about and would like for them to actually do something with their life instead of being stuck to a phone
A new Opal.
Opal has always worked when you set the rules. 4.0 adds something new: Opal can now read your day on its own: it learns when you sleep, when you focus, when you scroll. It steps in when it helps and stays out of the way the rest of the time.
Heads up, two things have moved:
• Blocks are now called Rules. Same feature, new name. You'll find everything in the My Apps tab,.
• Breaks are now called Unblock. You can unblock at any time from the My Apps tab.
What's new:
• Timer. One tap to focus for a set block of time, when you need to study or get in the zone.
• Opal Score. A daily reading on Focus, Sleep, and Rest.
• Sounds. A library of focus mixes and ambient tracks.
• New MileStones. Belts for attention, earned through real focus. New ones available.
• Autofocus. Intelligent nudges that keep you on track when you're distracted.
You asked, we built:
• Overlapping rules, so you can stack them.
• Always Allowed, so Opal never blocks your essentials like health, maps, or banking.
• Never Allowed, so you can set your own permanent restrictions.
• Single-app unblock, so you can open one app without breaking the rule.
• Digital Detox, longer timers for a few days at a time.
Now in 9 languages, including Simplified Chinese.
As always, share feedback through Settings, then Support. We read all of it. Let us know if any of your favourite features are missing, we removed some things but don't worry - they'll be back soon!
