No 'make it harder' option on updated Android version 4.0.5

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been using opal since October of 2025 and I never looked back. I really love this app and it’s really been improving my focus and my mental health.

I have an android, and recently I noticed that opal updated. The opal app on my phone now has a sleep score, a focus score, and data tracking how focused I’ve been in the past few weeks. I also noticed that there’s only two options for breaks; either the easy option (which makes you wait 5 seconds before unblocking) or the hardcore option (you can’t access the apps at all).

I usually rely on the make it harder option because it’s a happy medium. But I can’t find it anymore?? I’m not sure if it’s completely removed it from the app or if it’s just this update but this is really concerning for me.

Have y’all experienced this?

Hey there @Ellenomanna ,

Happy to help, and sorry for the delay!

Otherwise, thanks for your request for the timeout feature to be re-introduced to the Android version of Opal. You’ll be happy to know that feature will be going live quite soon!

In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you experience any issues with the newest version of Opal.

Thanks for your patience,
Team Opal

Hi @Sarah_K,

Thank you for your response! Do you have a general time frame for when we can expect an update?
