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/

    As a teen I’ve suffered from many addictions online. Once I got one sec I knew it was gonna change my life and it indeed did😊.

    It doesn’t look like a bad app, it just doesn’t have the one thing I got it for in the app selection part within the shortcut.

    I really wanted to like this app and planned on paying for the subscription but sadly now I’m deleting. After 3 days of playing with the app I just couldn’t get it to do what I wanted with blocking a specific app. Whenever I set it up to block the app it would not only block the target app but the OneSec app itself. It also prompted me to take the set up survey every time I opened the app. Every. Single. Time! Definitely a number of bugs to work out for a better experience. I would also recommend having the option to password the settings so an app blocking does cannot be bypassed. Like I said, definitely potential but overall disappointing as is.

    This app is so annoying, it works amazingly. Only slight inconvenience that you can fix but have to pay money for… is that you have to do the whole thing even if you just switch tabs. Great app though, really makes you think before mindlessly scrolling.

    My friend showed me this app years ago and it’s really helped my life as a whole. It’s removed scrolling habits from my subconscious, fostered intentional social media usage, and helps me stay present.

    I am so glad I found this app. I’ve had it about a month and it has helped me so much. My one big suggestion is to have the intervention time be extended to way longer than two minutes…like up to a couple hours. Unless there is another way in the app to intervene longer?
