How do I invite or add friends or family to Opal

There are several ways to be social with Opal! Here's how.

Invite friends and family to receive rewards

If your friends and family could benefit from better focus, invite them to use Opal today and you'll receive rewards!Β If you have five friends who create Opal accounts using your referral, you will receive one year of Opal Pro for free. If you invite 50 friends who create Opal accounts using your referral, you will receive a lifetime subscription of Opal Pro for free. Here is how to invite them from the Opal app:

  • Go to your Opal "Settings" (accessible from the top right corner of your "Profile" tab)
  • Scroll down and click "Share Referral Link"
  • Send the link to your friends via your preferred messaging app

....but I'm not seeing my referrals in Opal!

If you've sent referrals to your contacts using the instructions above (and those contacts have created accounts), you should see those referrals reflected in your "Settings" (accessible from the top right corner of your "Profile" tab). If not, please take the following steps to sort that out:

  • Ensure you're on the newest version of the app here
  • Press the Share icon in the top right of your "Home" tab and tap on "Your Referral Code" to copy it
  • Send the code to your friends who've signed up
  • Ask your Friends to visit their "Profile" tab > Settings (accessible from the top right corner of your "Profile" tab) > Enter Referral Code
  • Ask them to enter your Referral Code
Please note only new signups to Opal will see the option to input a referral code; it is not possible to be credited for signups older than two weeks. The referral link your friends receive will grant them a free month long trial of Opal Pro. Only new signups to Opal will be eligible for a free month long trial.

IΒ deleted the app and lost my referrals and/or the rewards from my referrals!

If you sign up for a new account or opt to delete the app, all the data associated with your account will be lost, including your referrals. Please note that our Support Team is unable to retroactively grant referrals to an account that were initially made by an anonymous or deleted account. However, once your new account is set up, you should be good to go moving forward, provided that you do not delete Opal again in the future.

Add friends to share Screen Time

If you'd like to add an extra layer of accountability to your Opal experience, you can add friends and share your daily total Screen Time. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Open the Opal app
  • Tap on your Settings (Accessible from top right corner of the "Profile" tab)
  • Scroll down and tap on "Friends"
  • A prompt will appear that says "Add friends"
  • Tap "Give Permissions"
  • You will be routed to your device Settings
  • Under "Allow Opal to Access," toggle on "Contacts"
  • Return to Opal and navigate back to "Add Friends"
  • A list of your contacts with Opal will appear

It's important to note that if you'd like to successfully add friends on Opal, both of you must have your phone number linked to your account. If your phone number is not linked to your account, unfortunately, you will be unable to share your Screen Time data. Additionally, to see one another's Screen Time data, you must have both opened the Opal app in the past 24 hours. Finally, you can read more about how Opal reports your Screen Time, including about the differences in reporting on your "Home" tab and your "Profile" tab, here.

I don't want a contact to see my Screen Time anymore!

If you no longer want a specific contact to view your Screen Time information, you can easily remove them. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Open the Opal app
  • Tap on your "Profile tab"
  • Tap on the icon to the right of "Friends Screen Time"
  • Beside the contact you'd like to remove, tap "..."
  • Click "Stop sharing"

That'sΒ it! If you have any issues with your referrals, please follow the steps listed above. If that doesn't sort the issue out, please contact us using the instructions here.
