April 1, 2025
Earlier today our app icon changed colors and we announced that Opal had been acquired. If you use the Opal app, this may have come as a surprise.
Well, you were right to doubt. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS’ DAY 😆.
We're still independent. Still Opal. Still focused. And growing fast. We are so excited to be on this journey with you.
But here's no joke: nearly every aspect of life is now digital, and the technology we rely on is designed for interruption, not focus. As a result, our ability to concentrate is slipping away. It short, Scrolling Kills.
There are 5 billion smartphone users today who need to focus. And we're just getting started.
The Opal app is helping millions of people today on all corners of the earth reclaim their focus and attention.
Here is what’s ahead: with massive growth, exceptional retention, and a highly capital-efficient business, we’re powering the engine that will take Opal to 1 billion users, and in the process we will better align computers with humanity.
We are so excited to be on this journey with you.
Oh, and the app icon will reset tomorrow :).
Kenneth and team Opal
