I'm Opal

Your screen time assistant.

I will help you take control of your phone, save time and focus better so you can create, work and thrive each day.

Once you install me on your phone, I have the power to disconnect distracting apps like Instagram, Twitter and many others until you decide to use them.

Together we'll learn to use apps consciously. Everytime you open a distracting app, I will help you set an intention and use that app on a timer.

We'll also set a daily time saving goal, and track your progress. When you stay mindful, you save time for better things.

My makers care about privacy and security. I work 100% locally on your phone. Information about your browsing never leaves your device.

Once installed on your phone, Opal can disconnect distracting apps like Instagram, Twitter and many others from the internet until you decide to use them.

How we spend our time defines who we are

Today, we spend more waking hours on screens than in real life. That time is unguarded and much of it gets stolen from us. When our time is stolen, we cannot be in control of our life.

Hear from our gems

Job van der Voort

Co-founder and CEO of Remote, Prev: VP Product Gitlab.

Opal helps you block out apps, notifications, so you can truly focus or simply disconnect. Super important, because remote work means work is always just a glance away. Opal helps increase that distance.

Jeanette Cajide

VP Strategy, Dialexa, Prev: Merrill Lynch, Accenture and Goldman Sachs.

I’m really passionate about the impact Opal has on the brain. I really feel like people, especially athletes, don’t understand what the word “recovery” means. It’s not about giving your muscles a break. It’s about giving your mind a break too from all the sensory input we deal with on a daily basis.

Several people suggested Opal – I tried it out and it does exactly what I need it to do and is much more customizable than Down/Screen Time 💎 👍

Vaidehi Joshi

Senior Software Engineer at Vimeo

I have been using Opal and it has really made me intentional about how and when I use my phone. I'll set a 23 hour timer and literally keep my phone in one room in the house so i don't default to looking at it as a habit (something I did a lot in my first 2 weeks off).
