A simple, student-friendly phone policy powered by our app.
Achieve screen time control with the world’s most-loved screen time app! Opal is the fun, free Screen Time app to improve your focus and make the most out of every day. 5 to 6 hours. That’s the average time you’ll spend looking at your phone today, often without realizing it. It's time to fight back. With a combination of screen time control, app limits, app blockers, real time data, leaderboards and rewards, you will focus better and accomplish your dreams, just like Opal’s members.
Opal for Schools costs less than physical phone storage solutions, eliminates confiscation logistics, and avoids the rebound binge-scrolling that research shows pouches cause. Students maintain responsibility while school maintains focus.
Opal Dashboard provides school admins real-time visibility into policy compliance, leaderboards encourage peer accountability, and data-backed insights show impact on grades and wellbeing without invasive surveillance.
Opal for Schools requires only email distribution to students and optional QR codes; no tech team configuration needed. Opal provides positioning language, onboarding support, and ongoing engagement assistance to launch within days.
Opal for Schools automatically blocks admin-selected apps during school hours via geolocation or time-based rules, allowing students to retain agency while maintaining classroom focus. Unlike phone pouches, it teaches digital self-regulation and keeps emergency calling available for parents.
Opal's free tier and gamified rewards (Focus Gems, streaks, leaderboards) motivate students to use the app independently for homework, family time, and sleep. Research shows this builds self-regulation skills that persist after school.
