Opal provides an app-based blocking tool that lets users schedule blocks of sites and apps, including an irreversible "extreme" lock until a set time. The product visualizes user progress to reinforce healthier habits and offers a paid subscription tier alongside a free App Store version. The company emphasizes privacy, stating it does not collect or store data from the applications it blocks. Opal positions itself at the productivity tools market for adults and partly adolescents but explicitly excludes parental-control targeting of children. The founder, Kenneth Schlenker, launched the app after a decade of personal efforts to balance mobile use. Opal recently raised $4.3M to expand the team and improve engineering and design, and it plans to launch browser and Android versions.
