How Opal makes money
Opal is free to start, and Opal Pro is the paid tier with more ways to block and schedule. The purchases on its US page include weekly, monthly and yearly plans.
The pitch on the page is a number, hours of phone time today, and the app sells the way to cut it.
Building your own screen time control app
Screen time control rests on Apple’s Screen Time frameworks, so every app in the niche can block the same things. What differs is the reason to keep the block on. Opal uses scores and rewards, BePresent uses friends and prizes. A new app wins with a new reason to stay strict, for example a coach, a bet or a group.
Close to Opal in mechanics are BePresent and Structured.
