Some types of motivators work better than others. That's why Opal gives its Gems the ability to customize the type of block screen messages that are seen within the app.

‍

What are block screens?

Block screens are the screens that Opal shows you when you try to access an app that is being actively blocked. These are meant to be motivating reminders that you don't actually need to access a given app.

‍

‍

What type of block screens are there?

There are three categories of block screens:

• Pop Culture: Find funny pop culture references when you open a distracting app.
• Focus Haiku: Find little pieces of wisdom every time you open a distracting app.
• Luminaries: Discover inspirational quotes from influential thinkers to help you accomplish your potential.
