December 6, 2022
Being chained to our modern devices can feel like a never-ending cycle of distraction and procrastination. Productivity, a clear head, and a sense of control over our time can seem like impossible goals when we’re constantly pulled in different directions by notifications, emails, and the fear of missing out.
Today, we live in a world that requires us to be always on and connected—but what if there was a way to manage our use of technology and take back control over our time?
Welcome to Opal: the leading screen time management app that helps you measure, manage and focus your attention on what matters most to you.
But what is Opal?
At the heart of Opal, is the drive to help others achieve their dreams. Opal is an innovative screen time management app that helps people take back control of their time and focus on what matters most to them.
It allows you to measure, understand, and manage your focus while blocking out distracting apps and websites. It also generates insightful focus reports and provides a community forum for users to connect with peers and share tips.
Opal is ideal for anyone who wants to reclaim custody of their attention and focus. It’s designed with all types of users in mind, from busy professionals who need to get work done, to students who need to stay on top of their studies.
Easy and straightforward to use, Opal, is designed to take the guesswork out of screen time management. It also helps you identify how and when you use your devices and provides actionable insights on how to boost productivity and prevent burnout.
With Focus Score, measuring your focus level throughout the day is simple.
From identifying time spent on certain apps to analysing your notifications, Focus Score allows you to pinpoint the distractions that are keeping you from reaching your goals. What's more, through the support of the community, you can identify which apps negatively or positively impact your focus. The community distributes ratings for each app and website, so you can easily identify what's helpful and what's not.
Taking advantage of Opal’s many powerful features can help users manage their screen time in ways that best suit their individual needs.
Nothing beats hard cold data. Opal gathers your daily usage data to show you a snapshot of how your time was spent and gives you insights into your habits. How long are you spending on your phone? In what apps? When do you tend to be most productive or unfocused? Clear metrics offer the answers to your questions.
It’s all too easy to get caught in a spiral of procrastination and distraction. With Opal, you can choose to block distracting apps and websites for specific periods. Social media apps, dating apps, and video streaming apps can all be blocked, so you can stay on task and maximise your productivity.
Opal generates focus reports that help you analyse your data and identify patterns and trends in your usage. Weekly scores and stats allow you to track your progress and get insights into how you can improve your focus.

From tracking how long you use certain apps to setting time limits and blocking notifications, Apple Screen Time provides basic screen time management functions. However, that's where the similarities end.
Opal has much deeper features and tools, such as Focus Score, focus reports, goal tracking and community forums.
Opal, on the other hand, goes far beyond this by providing users with detailed reports and actionable insights, rewards, recurring focus sessions, reminders, and motivating leaderboards. It also has Deep Focus, where you must complete tasks for a specific period before accessing another app or website.
Plus, with full integration with iOS, you can still use all the features of Apple Screen Time, with the added benefit of Opal’s advanced screen time management capabilities.
Opal is available for iOS 16 and above offering users different plans, namely a Free Version, a Pro plan, and a Focus Coaching Plan.
