Opal
Opal is a focus app for iOS, Android, and macOS that blocks apps selected by the user.

The free plan includes one rule, basic timers and soundscapes, app blocking, and Opal Score for the current day. Pro adds Hard Mode, unlimited rules, advanced timers and soundscapes, Allow Only, and Opal Score history. Opal Pro Yearly costs $8.29 per month, billed $99.99 annually; Opal Pro Monthly costs $19.99 per month, billed $239 annually. A lifetime plan costs $399.00 per once, and a 7-day trial is available.
