    I have to admit, it is hard to put the phone down sometimes and stop scrolling on reels. This app have put into focus how much time I waste a day watching endless videos. I have been more aware and managed my time better. I enjoy the snooze part so I can post brief updates on social media and as soon as it lilocks I get back to work. Thanks so much for this awesome creation!

    I didn’t think that it would work very well but I needed to lower my screen time. My screen time started at 4 hours a day and after a month of using Opal my screen time has been reduced to less than 1 hour a day. It works great and I would highly recommend.

    I can't take breaks or edit what I'm blocking. The app is frozen as soon as I open it. I've tried updating and restarting the app. Please fix! 🙏🏽

    It works how it’s supposed to. It keeps me from browsing junk and playing games when my time would be better spent doing other things. Like a parent with your best interests in mind, it gently - or not so gently - stops bad habits in their tracks. But it’s ultimately up to you how strict you want “your parent” to be. The bad is that the screen where you select the specific websites crashes frequently — a known bug which the developers acknowledge in the error window (and blame on apple) — so some sites like Reddit can’t be selected independently. But all in all I’ll be keeping it after the trial is over because its utility outweighs its drawbacks. I also like that it’s sharable with family so I can maybe get my teens on board. Maybe.

    i didnt realize how much time i was wasting on my phone. Opal helps me make sure to put the phone down and enjoy life! once i got the different times set up, i dont have to do anything. Opal put the blocks in plac consistently, but still allows me to leave early/take a break if i want a little extra time on my socials. great app! 10/10!

    Opal has allowed me to boost productivity and get off my phone for a bit. But the app is very finicky and always glitches. The apps are restricted/unrestricted when they’re not supposed to and Opal sometimes does weird things like not allowing me to view my sessions or limits. There are also occasional random blank popups with nothing on them. A lot of features i thought the app would have had for free are locked and only accessed with the pro version. The app also has the thing where you have to pause to access your session, which might be helpful for some but I find it a bit annoying. Overall, its an okay app. Its helped me, but could have been made better.

    This app helps me get off my phone and makes me work more on what is important. Rather than doing something that takes me away from reality.
  • Routine Changing!

    I’ve been using my need to promote my art practice on insta as an excuse not to block it, but I haven’t noticed any change in engagement on my posts since downloading Opal, just a major change in my happiness! It’s so nice to feel in control of my instagram usage (sorry to state the obvious). Deffo recommend.
