Apps to Remove Distractions

In this blog, I'll highlight the apps that reduced my screen time by 32.9% in the first week, and now consistently reduced by 40%.

I'll provide a brief description, features I like, some potential downsides, and tips that you may find helpful.

Enjoy.

Opal (iPhone/MacBook)

You essentially choose apps or websites to block and the time you want them blocked for.

Features I like

• Deep Focus mode with Opal Pro. Doesn't let you edit that session while it is active.
• Simple interface
• Gives you statistics

Potential downsides

• The price. In my opinion, the monthly plan is over priced at $19.99. However, the yearly plan works out to be more reasonable at $8.99 a month, this is the one I have.

Tips

• An issue users have found is that you can disable Opals access to screen time (which stops it working), to prevent that use this guide.

This is a free 30-day Guest Pass if you want to try Opal Pro out.
