If you’re looking for an app like Opal yet would prefer having a few more features, it’s worth giving OffScreen a shot. The free app, developed by Miidii Tech, takes it a step further and has three different modes you can use to track the time you spend focusing on a task — pomodoro, countdown, and time accumulation. If you manage a lot simultaneously and would like to track the time you spend doing each task, you can categorize your focus sessions using tags.
The app is also extremely easy to navigate and displays different statistics about your screen time usage, including the number of times you pick your device up and your average usage. By subscribing to the app’s pro version, you can view advanced statistics like the amount of time you use your phone while walking, while you’re stationary, when you pick your phone up for the first and last time in a day, and your best detox.
Similar to Opal, the app allows you to restrict your apps for a certain amount of time. You can choose which category of apps you’d like to restrict while focusing by heading to the “My OFF Time” page and tapping Apps Blocked. Here, you can choose from several categories like Social, Games, Entertainment, Creativity, and more. If you’re in the mood to have an intense focus session, simply tap All Apps & Categories. All in all, the app is definitely among the best screen time tracking apps you’ll find and has even been labeled “Editors Choice” by the Apple App Store.
