If you are going on vacation, you may enable Vacation Mode on the iOS version of Opal. Here’s how to enable Vacation Mode from your “Settings”:
- Tap on the “Home” tab
- Tap on “Profile” (available from the icon in the top right corner)
- Tap on “Settings” (available from the drop down menu)
- Tap on “Vacation Mode”
- Toggle on/off the Rules you’d like to initiate Vacation Mode for
- Tap “Continue”
- Observe that your Streak may break if you enable Vacation Mode
- Tap “Pause Rule”
- Select the number of days you are on vacation
- Tap “Start Vacation Mode”
Alternatively, you may set up Vacation Mode on your individual Rules by following these steps:
-
Tap on the “My Apps” tab
-
Tap on the Rule you’d like to disable listed below your “Rules”
-
If the Rule is not currently active:
-
Tap “Vacation Mode”
-
Toggle on/off the Rules you prefer
-
Tap “Continue”
-
Select the number of days you are on vacation
-
Tap “Start Vacation Mode”
After the amount of days you’ve selected, the Rule will automatically be re-enabled. Alternatively, you may re-enable the Rule by tapping on its card and tapping “Resume Rule.”
‼️ If the Schedule is currently active and unblocks are not allowed, or if your Time Limit is currently active and resets are not allowed, you must wait for those Rules to end before you may enable Vacation Mode. Similarly, if your Open Limit is currently active and resets are not allowed, you must edit your Open Limit tomorrow before you unlock the app it’s applied to for the first time today. Alternatively, you may use your Emergency Pass to edit those Rules and initiate Vacation Mode immediately.
Why did my Streak break when I used Vacation Mode?
Streaks reward you for sticking to your Rules daily. After all, everyone benefits from time away from their device! Because of this, your Streak will break if you use Vacation Mode, and this is intentional behaviour.
That said, if you opt to disable your existing Rules via Vacation Mode, you are welcome to set up another Rule that runs while you’re on vacation. That way, you may maintain your Streak (and get time offscreen, too)!
