one sec | screen time + focus App Reviews

Really has helped me, each time I want to fall back into old partterns it helps me

Being productive is not easy I am currently looking for my way to show productivity. And those plugins and exteiosn show the result The app is not there yet in terms of work on Mac OS but I believe it’s getting there.

This app makes me so mad. Super effective and saves so much time.

I only used this app for the phone free morning feature, now that apple has removed the ability to detect when you wake up without an Apple Watch, the app is useless to me. Not onesecs fault, if they can find another way to implement it I would happily redownload

Something happened to your formatting that makes it so the words are cut off at the top by the phone camera bar and you can barely read them. Skip is so cut off that it’s not even clickable.

Some apps block you from completely accessing certain apps or websites. This forces you to be intentional about wanting to go onto them. I love the reinterventions, and forcing you to say how much time you want to spend before you go in, so you don’t look up at have 1 hour gone. Awesome app, best $20 I’ve ever spent. I use both the iPhone app and the chrome extension.

Legit life changing app if you are addicted to social media like many of us are! Took my social media screen time from over 11 hours per week to under 1 in two months!

This app has reduced my scroll time from 3-4 hours a day to under 1 hour! Customizability is fantastic, I only wish I could set the app to automatically enter a sticky block after I’ve used an app for a certain amount of time in a day, or really any app limiting feature.

I can't select minutes when to start the app restriction and that's frustrating because for example I want to set the restriction on 9:30 but the app gives you only 9:00 or 10:00 and so on

Finally I’m making progress with combating mindless scrolling and breaking the bad habit of bad websites. Game changer for my business productivity

I recommend this app to all my friends. Only issue I’ve had with it’s paid version recently is that I turned on the “don’t get lost” function, which notifies you that you’ve spent x minutes in the app. This notification happens even if you left the app before that number of minutes has passed, which is a bug. I hope they fix soon.

Simple UX and very effective. Has been a great tool in managing procrastination and anxiety.

Nothing, and I mean zero things, has ever been as helpful for my obsessive autopilot. This so effectively interrupts my addictive actions. I don’t even notice half the time I’m just jumping between apps. I’m just zoned out and this just stops me for a second and truly makes me ask “do I want to actually use this app or am I just bored?” I’ve had it a day and know I’ve only opened instagram 8 times instead of 30. Functionally it’s so easy to use. The instructions on setting up shortcuts are cry

We’ve really enjoyed One Secano, the videos are very helpful. We’ve always wanted to learn more about programming and automation! We did have an issue with some of the apps but we will go back and review the helpful videos to see where we need to improve our programming language. Good job! 👏 thanks 🙏🏽 again, adios!👋

Taking a breath literally gives me a more centered ability to make a better long term decision of not opening Instagram

thank you thank you, it’s very helpful and appreciated

This is perfect.

Finally an app that actually keeps me off my phone. The shortcuts are easy to set up. And I love the morning count down to block apps first thing in the morning to start your day right. There’s no way to override or skip through any of the sequences. It’s perfect and so worth paying for premium!

love love loveee

Overall great app that’s simple and does what it states

AMZING APP!!!! I have saved so much time and been way more productive ever since downloading

Hefty one-time purchasing price My suggestion: make it $15 (I would definitely recommend/buy it)

Actually a really great concept. Going to try it out a bit further.

very good app, works great, but it has a problem in that it interrupts work flow when switching between apps, and the “app interval” option costs money. if this is ever fixed i will redownload instantly

the title, it's very helpful get the app

It’s crazy how often this app really makes me think twice about opening an app and scrolling endlessly. The timer forces me to consider, and often change my mind. I only wish there was an ability to add a force-close after say 20 minutes!

Simple and SO helpful and nice! A no brainer download - get this on your phone asap

This app is excellent- everything I wanted and lots more that I didn’t know I needed. The only thing I would change is that on the dashboard overview, it significantly underestimates how much time it’s saved me. One sec, you’re even better than you know!

If it worked like it was supposed to more often. Will use the block feature and then when it ends, I still can’t get into the apps because it says the block is still on. Other times it just won’t block me at all

Strange that the apps I want to limit are not available to be selected: Spotify (podcasts) Apple Podcasts, StumbleGuys (game) Seems like maybe a feature that shouldn't be too hard to code? Why not allow the user to input a custom URL scheme like "spotify://" when asked to give the one sec app an argument after running openAfterBreathingExercise()? Why can I only pick from a set of apps that can be controlled by the core functionality of the one sec app? Five stars if you make this change

This app alone cut 1 hour of my screen time!!!

I have adhd and have struggled since high school with managing my screen time and social media use. This has been the most helpful app I’ve tried!!

I’ve had One-Sec for about two months and it has been a life saver - literally. It has brought my Instagram usage down 81%. I just bought the pro version and am excited to see how it works on my other over used apps. Highly recommend!

Thanks for this amazing app

I always find myself picking up my phone just to check YouTube and “mindlessly” watching non productive videos. I like that I always have the choice to do it after but the reminder makes me more conscious every time and decide to spend my time how I want instead of YouTube deciding for me. I love how it tells me how many times I attempt to go on YouTube in the last 24 hours so I can keep track. Great thanks to those at onesec

I have long considered just throwing out my phone - as it brings more distraction and waste than worth. I was about to go with a new simple e-ink phone, but this app has saved the phone for me. I've tried so many ways to reduce instagram and uneccessary web browsing distractions and only this one has worked! Love it, thank you!

asks you to take a breath before you open an app of your choice. after the breath, asks again if you’d like to open the app. so simple, and the deep breath is nice enough to occasionally warrant opening twitter for it alone.

This app is really cool and I’m considering getting the paid version. The thing that’s currently holding me back is id like to be able to disable the shamey screen that counts how often you open an app in 24 hours. For me, that makes me feel more anxious. If that wasn’t there, I’d also be able to set this for apps that I intend to open frequently but would like to do so mindfully (think, my work email, maps before driving, etc)

15 a year isn’t bad and in 24 hours I already feel better for not doom scrolling Reddit. My fingers are also so used to opening fb even though there’s nothing there for me

This app is single handly responsible for curing my bad habits and keeping me focused on whats important. By far the best productivity option out there!

Great app! much more effective than the screen time app.

Has been such a game changer.

The only thing that has stopped my automatic addiction to opening phone apps. Great!

i chose 45 minutes, blocked it again only 2 minutes later

i recently redownloaded one sec after having it deleted for a while and was really disappointed to see that now i have to pay to have more than one app restrict usage. before i had three to four apps i could stop from going on. now i cant do that which is a shame since it was very helpful before
