Oli Maitland (ID: 000000926f8b5255) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/21/2023 If you're looking to regain time, live in the moment and just simply lose the phone addiction that everyone seems to have nowadays, Opal is the app for that. It's unreal, couldn't ask for more

icon

Zachary Hodge (ID: 000000cec25a14c9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/11/2023 Really like the feature set, but it doesn't integrate scheduled sessions with the iOS app and the iOS app sync with other iOS devices. Also, if you have to relaunch Chrome if you want to have another scheduled session trigger it does not work automatically if you haven't closed out Chrome.

icon

M K (ID: 00000017bd9d9b03) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/07/2023 really wish the "I'm taking a break because..." window is designed differently so the reason isn't prefilled and I am forced to enter a legitimate reason. Also did they take away the mode where no breaks could be taken...

Alex Large (ID: 00000005c0a4f52b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/27/2022 Useless! I have apps blocked on my phone (like reddit), but can't seem to add a reddit block on the chrome app - I try and add www.reddit.com and nothing happens.

Ramy Zhang (ID: 000000e7e27b0a34) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/16/2022 i love that i can set schedules to automatically kick in so i can't just "forget to turn the blocker on". also a big fan of the deep focus mode - i have 0 discipline so having a mode where i can't take breaks or stop it is amazing
