Do you want to have a short break to access your blocked apps, but don't want to get completely distracted? (Maybe to send a quick meme and then get back to work?) That's what Breaks are for!
Breaks help you use your phone mindfully and intentionally. To use Breaks, make sure you chose the right protection level (⏱️What is Protection?)
Take a Break (iOS)
While on an Opal session, you can click the “Take a break” button at the bottom of the in-session view.
When you click on the Take a break button, you can select how long you want the break to last.
Click “Start Break” to launch your Break, or click away if you've changed your mind.
You can also finish your Break early by clicking the “End Break” button.
Take a Break (Browser)
While on an Opal session, you can click the “Take Break” button underneath the session timer to temporarily unblock distracting websites.
When you click on the Take Break button, you can customize:
Click “Start Break” to launch your Break, or the “╳” cancel icon in the top-right if you've changed your mind.
You can also finish your Break early by clicking the “Cancel Break” button.
With a combination of app restrictions, real time feedback and rewards, you can begin to focus better and accomplish your dreams.
