While it is in the development phase, our Android app is free. For more information about the features of our Android app and how to troubleshoot any issues, continue reading.

How do I add a Session on the Android version of the app?

To add a Session, click on the "+ New Block" button on the "Home" tab. You may then select to "Block Now" to start a Focus Timer or opt to "Create Schedule."  Once you've made your selection, choose the apps and websites you'd like it to apply to. Once that is complete, you may then edit the following information about your Session or Time Limit by clicking on the editing icons:

• The name of your event
• Duration
• "Apps Blocked"
• "Breaks Allowed"

In the "Breaks Allowed" option on the Android version of the app, you will have three protection level options available:

• Yes, make it easy: Take short breaks or cancel.
• Yes, but make it harder: You have to wait more before each break.
• No way, I'm hardcore: Can't take breaks or leave early.

Once that's complete, click the "Start" button.

How Can I Edit Or Cancel My Session on the Android version of the app?

Do you need to modify or cancel your ongoing Session? Here's how:

• From your Opal "Home" tab, tap on your ongoing Session
• Wait for the waiting room to count down and tap "Continue"
• If you want to "Edit," tap the button
• If you want to "Take a Break" or "Stop Session," tap the corresponding button

 Note: If you are currently in a Session that is set to "No Way, I'm hardcore" protection level, you must wait until the Session ends to edit it.

How do I add a Time Limit on the Android version of the app?

To add a Time Limit, tap on the "+ New Block" button on the "Home" tab. Tap "Set Time Limit". Once you've made your selection, choose the apps and websites you'd like it to apply to. Once that is complete, you may then edit the following information about your Session or Time Limit by clicking on the editing icons:

• The name of your event
• "Apps Blocked"
