Actually life-changing

I use the app with a 2 minute blocker, meaning it blocks TikTok, YouTube etc until I wait on Opal for two mins, then I get a 15 minute break. Absolutely lifechanging. Thanks to the creators of this app!

Productive score

Good app, but it’s annoying that we need to request apps’s productive scores to be added through a forum. Why not include every app on our phone automatically and let us choose whether or not each one is productive or not? Seems like the most reasonable solution to me.

i’ve been using opal for a while now and although my self control is bad, the app does help manage, take notice, and work on limiting my screen time. :)

It’s Alright

I originally thought this app is exactly what i’ve been looking for. I wanted an app that forced me to not use those certain apps because of my adhd and apples screen time has bypasses. I found out you can just bypass the deep focus sessions by deleting the app or turning off allow screen functions. It’s a good reminder to not use your phone but it doesn’t help much more than that.
