one sec
Barcelona, Spain
What it is
one sec interrupts or blocks apps, social media, and websites to help users manage their screen time. Its prompts can ask users to breathe, reflect, rotate their phone, or complete a typing exercise before continuing. Users can schedule sessions that prevent selected apps or websites from opening during set periods, while Healthy Alternatives can suggest activities such as journaling. Structured integrations can block distracting apps while tasks remain unfinished and show upcoming tasks as alternatives. The free version can target one app; Pro supports unlimited apps and adds intentional app switching, time tracking, website blocking, strict sessions, and other intervention types. A free LENGO integration requires a vocabulary exercise before social-media apps can open. Browser extensions work with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and other major browsers. One account can be used on iOS and Android devices and browser extensions on Windows, macOS, and Linux. By default, data stays offline and intervention logic runs on the device. A free plan and seven-day trial are listed; Pro costs $6.99 a month.
