About Opal

Opal is the #1 Screen Time app, trusted by over 200,000 individuals and countless teams, including Fortune 500 companies. Their mission is to help one billion people focus better daily, empowering them to achieve their dreams. Through a combination of app restrictions, real-time feedback, and engaging rewards, Opal helps you regain control of your digital habits. The app provides detailed breakdowns of your screen time, daily focus scores, and even offers features like Deep Focus, which provides maximum protection against distractions. Opal has helped users save an average of 1 hour and 23 minutes per day from reduced screen time. This translates to millions of hours reclaimed by the community. You can use Opal to set daily usage limits, block distracting apps and websites, and schedule focus sessions to improve productivity, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

How We Work

Opal fosters a remote-flexible culture with a global DNA, with team members located across Europe. While the main office is in Paris, France, they embrace remote work and hire talent from around the world. The company emphasizes inclusivity, strong team connections, and a healthy work-life balance. They believe in transparent leadership and ensure every employee's voice is heard. Opal maintains its culture by translating successful in-office traditions, like weekly SWAP (Shoutouts, Wins, Announcements, Progress) meetings, into the virtual space. They also utilize tools like Slack channels and the Donut App to foster social connections and open conversations among team members. At Opal, a philosophy of trust is paramount; they empower employees and encourage flexible work styles, believing that focus leads to freedom, not burnout.
