How to enable Vacation Mode

If you are going on vacation or simply want to take an extended break from blocking apps, you can do so easily without changing your Opal set up. Simply disable your Session for the amount of days that you want, and when that period ends, it will turn back on automatically. Here is how to do it:

  • Open the Opal app
  • Tap on the “Blocks” tab
  • Tap on the Session you'd like to disable
  • Tap the toggle beside "Vacation Mode" to Temporarily Disable the Session
  • Set the disable duration by selecting the number of days (you can select between 1 and 30 days) or tap or “Disable indefinitely”

After the amount of days you’ve selected, the Session will automatically be re-enabled. You can also end that Session being disabled manually by tapping on the Session card again and selecting “Enable”. If you would simply like to Take a Break from an existing Session, instead follow the instructions here.

Please note that if you use this method to attempt to Take a Break from a Session that is currently running, it won’t stop blocking that same Session.

That's it! If you're not seeing a Vacation Mode toggle with Opal, update to the newest version of the app here. Otherwise, if something is going wrong with Vacation Mode, please let us know!
