Opal: Screen Time Control
Focus, App Blocker & Timer
This screen-time savior assesses your habits to help you stay on schedule and make the most of work hours, family dinners, or even bedtime.
What we love: Screen Time integration makes it easy to stick to your goals. Create a Focus Session by selecting the apps that distract you the most and Opal will block them. For popular services, Opal will block both the app and the website so you can’t get sneaky by going to your browser. Your session will be named and saved as a template to access later.
Quick tip: For moments when you really need to concentrate, select Deep Focus when you start your Focus Session—this will prevent you from canceling or bypassing the timer.
Meet the creator: After experiencing an intense screen-time increase during the pandemic, Kenneth Schlenker founded Opal to help others achieve balance within their routines. The company has an ambitious goal to help 1 billion people focus every day.
