Description

In contrast to Screen Time, one sec delays access to apps and websites instead of blocking them completely – this is fundamentally different than any other screen time tool you’ve tried before! Have you tried a digital detox? And it did not work, because you fall back into your habits immediately?  Well here is the solution: one sec solves our unhealthy phone relationship at its roots: by making distracting apps less appealing, our brains lose interest to open them all the time without proper intention. The effectiveness of one sec has been confirmed in a peer-reviewed scientific study with the Max-Planck Institute and Heidelberg University: app usage drops by 57% on average! Long-term! Fight the social media algorithms and win back control over your phone usage & your subconsciousness! “one sec” uses Shortcuts Automation to toggle a deep breath animation whenever you open one of the configured apps (Instagram, Twitter, YouTube…). This breaks unconcious social media habits short-term (literally, as soon as you have set it up) and even helps long-term by adding more friction when opening these apps. Did you really want to open Instagram? Or was it just because you're bored waiting for your bus? This app helps you to reflect your actions, thoughts, and feelings; disrupting harmful social media habits with mindfulness. On top of that, “one sec” also contributes your mindful moments to the Health App via HealthKit. Especially for people with ADHD one sec is a great tool to gain back control for incredible focus and concentration. Integrations and collabs: - You can set up one sec to sync tasks with Structured, so you won't be able to access social media apps during ongoing unfinished tasks. - You can set up one sec to learn a new language with LENGO, so every time you open social media, you have to answer a handful of vocabularies. Available Subscription Options: one sec pro (annual / monthly / lifetime unlock) Terms (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://one-sec.app/privacy/

    I bought the permanent access package and it was completely worth it. I am a ninja when it comes to getting around app blockers and this one is impenetrable. One feature I would love is a trigger feature that blocks an app for the day when a time limit is reached.

  • This app is full of bugs

    I have loved this app since I began using it 6 months ago. It even inspired me to purchase my cousin an iPhone, knowing that I would be able to restrict their screen time and break the dopamine-induced doom scrolling that social media and games can oftentimes induce. When I was going to sign up for the family plan, I saw the price had increased from $25 to $40. For reference, the individual plan is $20. Honestly, if I only intended to add one additional user to the subscription, what incentive is there in not receiving a discount? Look at it this way: 2x individual plans = $40; 2x users on family plan = $40. What's the difference? This is really shortsighted and selfish of the developer, in my opinion, and it makes me want to not even renew the individual subscription. $40 is too much. The app is good and well thought out, but it isn't actually providing that grand of a solution to justify that price, even for multiple users. $25 actually motivated me to add users to the app, given it was only a $5 increase from what I was paying. Doubling the price only frustrates me and makes me want to protest the developer's greed, and it shows that their intent isn't to actually provide a solution and make that accessible to more people, but to squeeze every dollar from their user base. What a careless decision towards users. I'll be deleting the app.

    I got this thinking it would help me with my screen time but now I can’t even enter the apps I do the exercise and click go to whatever app but all it does is make me do it again I have tried the steps a hundred times but it still doesn’t work

  • Another greedy subscription app

    Such a great concept that is once again blocked by a massive subscription. These days no one can pay for an app with one simple fee; instead, app developers greedily want you to pay them month after month for an app that tells you to take a break from using your phone. I’d be totally willing to pay a one time fee because I hate subscription services. But if you’re not going to pay anything to them, the app is unusable because you’re only blocking one app, which defeats the whole purpose of having multiple target apps. 1 star

  • Amazing

    Just got this app and it is wonderful. I think my brain is going to be able to function properly again and not feel constantly distracted when I’m on my phone. I love how it requires you to be mindful and intentional with your choices on your phone. I think I believed if I just had strong enough willpower, I could conquer my bad habits, but my brain actually needs some additional help to make better choices. I am a full grown adult. I can’t imagine how teenagers and kids are expected to manage themselves well on their devices without help and boundaries. 5 stars for sure! Thank you!

  • It’s pretty decent.

    So far I’m kinda ehh about this app. I feel like it can be quite tricky to set up how you want it and some of it is confusing. Some functions need better descriptions and I wish in the summary it told you how long you were actually on each app that day in addition to how much time was saved. The cost is really great, but I don’t care for all the extras of it. I just prefer something a bit more simple personally.

  • Slow updates, morning journal broken with no way around
