one sec | schermtijd & focus

Please make it so that you have to go trough an intervention to turn ‘intervention on app’ off. I have very low self discipline and find myself just turning intervention on app off instead of waiting

The onboarding process is overly complicated compared to other apps, and the UI/UX is terrible. Additionally, the "blocking" feature has numerous issues, such as being able to select more than 50 apps, resulting in the blocking not working at all. Furthermore, changing the timer does not update the success screen, which continues to count up with 20 minutes. This app feels outdated, likely created years ago and now surpassed by newer innovations.

Dear developer, the app generally works great but unfortunately doesn’t block porn in private mode. Could you please fix this?

This app really helped me reduce my screen time by making me think twice before opening instagram as a habit. Too bad you can only have 1 app when you don’t pay for the premium version, im getting kinda sick of all these apps having paid subscriptions. €15,- per year to have unlimited apps seems way to high to me.

Deze app heeft veel potentie. Via  Opdrachten app kan je de opdracht aanmaken dat eerst automatisch One Sec wordt geopend voordat je Instagram opent. In die ene seconde komt er een scherm voorbij gegleden waarin staat om even diep te halen. In de hoop dat je uit je automatische patroon gehaald wordt en je bewust wordt.
Echter One Sec pakt alleen de grote Social Media apps zoals Facebook en Instagram ect. De app van de krant, zoals bv. het Algemeen Dagblad of De Telegraaf pakt ie niet. Daar ben ik nou net verslaafd aan.
Hopelijk komt daar ook nog eens een oplossing voor. Of anders meer mogelijkheden geven om zelf (lokale) apps of sites in te stellen.

I love this app made by Frederik. It’s so efficient en I like how socially engaged Frederik is in the mission to reduce social media addiction. This has been the most helpful app for me to build a more conscious smartphone habit (a lot more than Freedom etc)

One Sec works great to reduce my distractions on mobile. I succesfully blocked a few apps and even in the first week I reduced my socials time by half. However, the laptop app is a little bit less intuitive. It took me a few weeks to get Whatsapp properly blocked. The browser extention too wasn't too easy to find. It works now, but that is because I finally figured how to (manually) enable it. It would be nice if the developer makes a tutorial on how to install extentions just like how they have tutorials on everything iOS related.

Its a mess. The tutorials are not helpful as it is simply not the same as in the app it self. Buttons do not work either. Nothing is clear.

I love the apps it has greatly reduced my phone usage. However, I have the app applied to instagram, but after I finish the intervention, my sound doesn’t always work. Very strange…

After using the app for about a month it suddenly says you have to pay for some features you have been using thoroughly. Did not like the surprise of that. Still bought it, because I can’t live without the extra features anymore

Someone mentioned the One Sec app and made me curious.
I just installed it and hope that it helps me to reduce social media consumption.

I’d designed something similar in shortcuts myself to make opening distracting apps more painful, but this dedicated solution is way smoother

Baits you into thinking it is a free app, makes you pay to use it for multiple apps.

I think the concept is great but for some reason, some apps I use the most won’t setup with One Sec. E.g. I want to limit my news reading on some apps. I can select the app just fine but then want to set up the automation the app is nowhere to be found in One Sec. Must the developer setup all distracting apps in his own app by hand?!?

Seems to work more reliably now and man, I love it!
Thank you so much dear devs and team

Cool concept, but a one app limit on the free version brings very little value. A subscription for such an app does not seem appealing to me.

I tried the payed version to use for websites but you can only use onesec for websites on safari, not on chrome. Therefore useless app cause all addictive apps have a browser version.

Nice idea but half the time it doesn’t engage/start the app. I don’t know if it’s the fault of Shortcuts or One Sec but it’s a problem either way
