Opal is a digital well-being startup founded in 2020 by Kenneth Schlenker. The company develops a screen time management app designed to help users reduce distractions, improve focus, and reclaim time. Available on iPhone and macOS, Opal allows users to block distracting apps and websites, create scheduled focus blocks, and monitor their productivity through weekly reports and real-time focus scores.

The app features tools like Deep Focus mode, which makes it harder to bypass blocks, and Snooze Difficulty settings that help users mindfully access apps. Opal has quickly grown to a user base of over 4 million people, helping them collectively reclaim more than 70 million hours of screen time. Users report improvements in focus, productivity, and mental health, and the app has become particularly popular among professionals, students, and creatives alike.

Opal has raised a total of $6.91 million in seed funding, backed by notable investors such as Kinled Holding, Motier Ventures, Night Capital, Valor Equity Partners, and Wisdom Ventures. The team operates with a remote-flexible model, with headquarters in Union Square, New York and Paris.

The product is built using modern technologies including TypeScript, React, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes. The company’s mission is to help people focus better and live more intentionally by providing smarter tools for digital wellness.
