Where Does Opal Store Screen Time Data?
Opal focus schedules and Screen Time data with account sync on iPhone.
Last updated
Opal schedules focus sessions, app limits, gems and community leagues through the account, reading actual usage from Apple Screen Time on device. Schedules sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac on login.
Screen Time data itself never leaves Apple systems; Opal computes focus scores from what iOS reports. Reinstalls restore schedules and gems on sign in while usage history rebuilds going forward only.
Where Opal stores this, by platform
App sandbox plus iCloud (schedules sync; usage from Screen Time)
Grant Screen Time access for enforcement and scoring. Schedules and gems follow the account. Deleting the app drops local state; historical usage stays with Apple.
Frequently asked questions
does Opal track which apps I use
It reads Screen Time aggregates iOS provides for limits and scoring, not message contents or browsing detail. Revoking Screen Time access disables enforcement while schedules remain.
do Opal schedules survive reinstalling
Yes on the same account. Sign back in and focus schedules, gems and leagues return. Usage history before reinstall stays with Apple Screen Time records.
