Currently, Opal counts all screen time after midnight toward the next day’s total. This causes inaccurate reporting for users who are active past midnight, as late-night usage (e.g., 00:30–01:00) is attributed to the following day instead of the previous one.
Proposed feature:
Allow users to define a custom daily cutoff time (e.g., 6:00 a.m.) that marks the transition between days. Any screen time before that cutoff should count toward the previous day’s total.
Example use case:
If a user typically ends their day around 1:00 a.m., they could set their cutoff at 6:00 a.m. so that post-midnight activity is still counted within the same “day” of use, ensuring more accurate insights into sleep and daily screen patterns.
Benefit:
Improves accuracy for night owls and users with flexible schedules, making daily screen time reports better aligned with real-world behavior.
