If you are going on vacation or simply want to take an extended break from blocking apps, you can do so easily on your iPhone and iPad without changing your Opal set up. Simply disable your Session for the amount of days that you want, and when that period ends, it will turn back on automatically. Here is how to do it:
After the amount of days you’ve selected, the Session will automatically be re-enabled. You can also end that Session being disabled manually by tapping on the Session card again and selecting “Enable”. If you would simply like to take a Break from an existing Session, instead follow the instructions here.
Please note that if you use this method to attempt to take a Break from a Session that is currently running, it will not stop blocking that same Session. It's also important to note that if you use Vacation Mode, you will lose your Streak because you must have daily Sessions to maintain a Streak.
Streaks are designed to reward you for daily focus Sessions, regardless of if you're working or relaxing. After all, everyone benefits from time away from their device! That said, if you put your existing Sessions on Vacation Mode, you are welcome to set up another Session while you're on vacation that won't impact the apps or websites you may need while on vacation. That way, you can maintain your Streak.
Currently, we're working on implementing feature parity for our Mac app and for our newly launched Android app. Stay tuned on that front!
