Heido. I’ve been using Opal since the beginning of October and it’s cut my screen-time in half.
I think a great feature to add in this app is having the option to block/restrict different apps for different blocks!
For example,
I currently have two different blocks that I use through out the day.
It would be great if I had the option to restrict one set of apps for one block and then a different set of apps for the other block.
It essentially adds more agency to the user by making things more customizable.
I think ios has something similar for limiting app usage.
Tbh I thought Opal already had this feature. It was only today that I realized it didn’t.
I always have Instagram blocked and the other day I decided to unrestrict ig for my morning block sessions. I was surprised to see that later in the day for my evening block sessions, it was also unblocked. Thinking I’ve made some sort of error, I then edited my block list to rerestrict ig for my evening block sessions. Only to wake up to see that ig was unaccessible for my morning sessions again.
Anyway I’ll just take this opportunity to thank
everyone who’s taken part in creating this tool and quite literally given us a way to take our time back.
Thank you so very much! It has even positively affected my mental health. Can’t wait to see this company continue to succeed and help more people like me.
