Love opal… would request two social features to really lock-in social pressure on phone usage:
I’d love for my wife and I to have each other’s unblock codes, so to unblock she has to give me a one-time-code, and I have to ask her to unblock or take a break. She’ll be much less forgiving than me.
In the friends feature, instead of just seeing daily streaks, would prefer we actually compete for screen time usage. And I can see what apps the block and don’t, so you can’t just not count instagram. Gamifying this with my friends would be a big driver.
Thanks for reaching out and for your thoughtful suggestions! First up, we already do have an option to implement a pin code in Opal, and you and your wife are more than welcome to set them for each other so that you must input the code when in an Opal session and you want to take a break:
Otherwise, thanks for the thoughtful feedback on our social features. I’ve passed your message along to our engineers and UI designers to consider as we continue to upgrade the app. I can’t promise that your suggestions will be implemented, but we welcome any feedback from our Gems and often integrate suggestions from our community. Stay tuned on that front.
