"Break only" Difficulty level (remove "Leave Early" option)

Feature Requests đź‘€

I’d love to have a difficulty level “between” Timeout and Deep Focus, where I am still able to take breaks (with increasing timeouts), but without being able to Leave the session early.

There are some times of the day when my schedule is unpredictable enough that Deep Focus isn’t appropriate, so I just use Timeout, but then sometimes my impulsive brain will just Leave Early instead of leveraging the timeouts in the session.

I think this could be a great new option OR perhaps could be a modification to the Timeout to distinguish it further from a “Normal” session

Hey there @rg4 ,

Thanks for the feature request! I’ve passed this suggestion along to our engineers to consider as we continue to upgrade the app. Stay tuned!

All the best,
Team Opal

Hello Sarah.

Why is there no option for a break without the leave early option? The current configuration is only “Leave Early” or “Hardcore.”

This is ridiculous for a paid app that manages screentime. There’s no way to set breaks?

I will NOT be renewing my subscription. There are only two options!

Hey @Ano ,

Apologies for the delay in reply! Our Support team is currently backlogged.

Thanks for your request for the “Leave Early” option within Sessions (now called Schedules) to be reintroduced to the app. You’ll be happy to know that this feature will be going live quite soon! In the meantime, here’s how to take a break from, edit, or cancel a Rule, depending on the Rule type:

All that said, please ensure that whenever able, you update here to get the newest features within Opal:

In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions about how the app works, or if you run into any other issues with the newest version of the app.

Thanks for your patience,
Team Opal
