About this Tool
Opal helps you reduce screen time and stay focused by blocking distracting apps and websites on your iPhone with scheduled focus sessions.
The app uses Apple’s Screen Time API to enforce app blocking at the system level, which means blocked apps cannot be easily bypassed during an active session. Users can create custom schedules, set daily time limits for distracting apps, and start focus sessions with a single tap.
Opal is particularly useful for people who want to reduce social media usage, minimize phone distractions during work or study, and establish consistent digital wellness routines. It provides detailed usage reports so users can track their screen time trends over time and adjust their habits accordingly.
The app is available exclusively on iOS and integrates with Apple’s native Screen Time framework for reliable enforcement. It offers both free and premium subscription tiers, with the premium plan unlocking advanced scheduling, unlimited focus sessions, and deeper analytics.
