I’ve been testing opal out for about a week now and have found it fairly valuable but there are a few things I’d like to see, and unless I see them I’d be unlikely to buy the app:
- customising different apps for different time blocks (e.g I don’t want LinkedIn in the morning as I end up using it as a proxy for other social media but I need it later in the day when I’m
Working) - I’d like the ability to add an adhoc block for a certain amount of time that is not repeatable- e.g I’ve decided to watch a film and want to block a few hours whilst I watch it, I don’t watch a film everyday this is something adhoc,but don’t want to be distracted whilst I watch it
Now this suggestion isn’t something I’d need to see in order to purchase but I think it would be good:
- when I’m picking up my phone depending on the block I would like the app to point me to something more productive or to Make suggestions with something i do. Would depend on the block, but for instance if i reach for my phone first thing in the morning it may point me to my headspace app instead or
Something else I have said I’d like it to point me
Too. Or in the evening it suggest I read, for instance. I think it isn’t always enough to block me from apps, I want an alternative activity to do instead!
