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.

Last update:
- Fixes an issue where the anti-cheat protection would remain active even when the target app is allowed to be used (e..g allowed by focus filter). - Fixes an issue where the Structured intervention would not trigger for Delayed Interventions. You need to set up Automations for the target apps, in order for the Structured intervention to work, even for the new Delayed Intervention mode. - Accessibility VoiceOver improvements for the time interval picker (Re-Interventions and “Always Ask Intervention”). Shout-out to Marissa for bringing this to our attention! - Improves capabilities to re-connect apps via the Screen Time app picker in case glitches with Apple’s Screen Time framework occur. - Smaller UI improvements and bug fixes throughout the whole app. If you like one sec and the continuous work we put into app updates, I’d highly appreciate if you could take three minutes to leave a review on the App Store <3 – Frederik
