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/

    Edit: continually running into this problem. This app has been super helpful but I’ve run into an issue where I start a block session from the widget (24 hours in this case) and it keeps the onesec app from opening but has no effect on any other app such as instagram or tiktok. I’m unable to deactivate the block session to go into onesec and fix it.

    Absolutely the best app for anyone that spends too much time on social media. I’ve tried pretty much every blocker available, even hard core shut down ones and nothing has worked like this app. The redirect breathing exercise is so annoying to go through every-time you open the app that it deters me and because you can enter the app afterwards I’m not tempted to go through the trouble of deactivating the mechanism. I solved my social media addiction with this app and while yes it may seem pricey, it’s still less expensive then other blocker apps that I’ve found to be far less effective so it’s worth it for me. I definitely recommend trying if you’ve tried blockers before and haven’t had success
  • Don’t buy - doesn’t work

    I loved this app while it worked. But two days after buying it, it stopped showing up on the shortcuts app. I reached out the developers and they were unhelpful and made the problem worse. Supposedly this is an apple bug, but their app is the only third party affected by this bug. Don’t waste your time or money.

    Please buy this! I’ve had One Sec for almost a year now, and it’s done exactly what I hoped. I am no longer the sorry result of human habit—mindlessly opening Instagram, scrolling, and wasting my precious life! I don’t usually write reviews, but THANK GOD for this!
  • The app is a lifesaver

    This app has done a tremendous job helping me curb my phone addiction. The features are fun and it has great alternatives, but I am mostly impressed with its simplicity and ease of use. The instructions to setup are straightforward. Then, once it’s up and running, it helps me not spend too much time on my phone through prompts ahead of opening social media and through simple interruptions so I don’t spend too much time doing something without thinking. A 10/10 app.

    I really love the concept of this app, but when I subscribed, I did not get the features promise. If I switch out of Tiktok for less than a minute to look up something or answer a text, then I have to sit to the prompt to get me back in even though I said it to give me a three minute break. I tried adjusting multiple settings, but I keep running into a problem when I try to save something I saw too my book list or make a note and it became too annoying.
  • Great app to break out of doomscrolling and help improve mental health!

    I’ve used the pro version for two years, and it’s been a game changer. Being able to use one sec across different apps makes me become more mindful of my intentions of using the apps. Having some gentle reminders set up on the intervention screen (e.g., take a breath, stretch, drink some water) has also complemented what I learned from cognitive behavioral therapy. 100% would recommend trying one sec out!
  • Good app
