How to use Autofocus

Autofocus settings

If you would like Opal to intervene on your distracting app or website usage, you may enable Autofocus in your Settings. Here's how to use the feature:

  • Open the Opal app on your iOS device
  • Tap on "Home"
  • Tap on "Profile" (accessible from the profile icon in the top right corner)
  • Tap on "Settings" (accessible from the gear icon in the top right corner)
  • Tap on "Autofocus"

Once you've navigated to the Autofocus screen, you may make the following selections:

  • Intervention Frequency: How often Autofocus intervenes (Low / Medium / High)
  • Notifications: Nudges when you scroll too much
  • Speedbump!: 60s app block when you're spiralling

There, you may also select your Apps:

  • Distracting: Opal will nudge you to keep you focused when you are on these Apps.
  • Always Allowed: Opal will never block these Apps, or notify you with Autofocus about them.
