Early on in Opal’s journey, I realized that to truly help people focus, the experience had to be fun and rewarding. Screen Time settings from Apple and Google often feel like a punishment ("+44% screen time this week" notifications). We wanted something different—something that encourages and motivates rather than brings you down.
This philosophy has shaped Opal from the words we use to the smallest design details. And it’s backed by science: lasting behavioral change happens when the experience feels positive and rewarding (positive reinforcement), not punishing.
Which is why I’m especially excited about today’s release: new MileStones. It's obviously a dumb pun, but also, a powerful reminder that focus is precious—and worth celebrating. The more you focus with Opal, the more MileStones you collect. For the team (congrats Antoine Anton Nour) , it’s been a joy to uncover these beautiful, meaningful Opal stones to mark your progress.
Hope you love them as much as we do! ✨
