Hey PH community,

Opal was created to help people (like me) break free from screen addiction and focus on what matters. Over the past few years, our iOS community has saved +200 million hours of screen time.

One of the question the team heard the most was “When is Opal coming to Android?”
Today, I’m thrilled to finally say: it’s here. We took our time to make sure the Android experience is as seamless and effective as on iOS.

Thank you to everyone who has been patiently waiting and cheering us on.
We're excited to welcome Android users to the Opal community, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback.

Thanks @kay_arkain!
We’ve seen drastic improvements in people’s wellbeing once they regain control of their screen time, and we're excited to bring the same impact to Android

The website would deserve Play Store and App Store button for downloading. 😌 (I usually found it like more direct CTA) :) Anyway, love the concept of digital detoxing and website :)

Review Opal - Screen Time Control?

Opal is praised for effectively helping users manage screen time and improve focus. Users appreciate its ability to create friction that discourages compulsive app use, leading to a healthier relationship with their devices. Some find it particularly useful for maintaining focus during work and relaxing on weekends by blocking distracting apps. While some users mention the cost as a downside, the overall sentiment is positive, with many noting significant behavioral changes. The app's integration with iOS 16's Screen Time API is highlighted as a key feature.

Sometimes you just can't put your phone down while working on your computer. I've found Opal to be a great app blocker - it works better than screen time limits because they're easy to override.

I really like Opal for helping me stay focused during the workday. But also for the opposite, to being able to relax on the weekend and not being allowed to visit apps like Slack, Gmail etc. Has really made a difference to change my behavior on how I use my apps on my phone. A bit pricy for personal use...
