Opal is a powerful tool designed to help you stay focused and productive by managing your screen time and reducing distractions. To make Opal foolproof, you can set up advanced features that will ensure sure you can't cancel, bypass or change the restrictions you put in place. Here are four advanced Opal features to help keep you on track.
Session difficulty allows you to customize how you want Opal to work during your scheduled Sessions. To add a “Session,” click on the “Block Now” icon of the “Blocks” tab. When scheduling that Session, select “Deep Focus" or "Hard Lock" difficulty, which will not allow you to take a break or end the Session early. It's important to note that the “Deep Focus” and "Hard Lock" features are only available for Gems who've upgraded to Opal Pro. Please also note, it's only possible to end the Session early in the event of an emergency using the instructions here.
Locking screen time access will prevent you from disabling Opal during a Session. Follow these steps to enable this feature.
“App Uninstall Protection” prevents you from uninstalling apps without ending an Opal blocking Session. To enable “App Uninstall Protection,” follow these steps:
Please note that if you toggle on "App Uninstall Protection," you will not be able to delete apps on your phone while in Session. Instead, they will be moved to your app library when you attempt to delete them. If you want to delete an app, you will need to toggle off "App Uninstall Protection," which you may only do when you are not currently in a Session.
