  • Works.

    Breathing intervention is customizable and straight up works. Tab switching grace period is also customizable. Great app, and can't wait for more of the mobile stuff to be added
  • once setup, seamless integration to the apps

    seems effective, built with psychology in mind
  • It sucks

    Takes up to ten seconds to open when you open an app. When you click continue to the app after waiting the 6 seconds it will redirect you to the wait again after a few seconds sometimes. Main app interface is extremely spammy.
  • W app

    This app will probably help w my 10 hour screen time😭😭
  • Effective in reducing phone usage

    This app is really helping me to be mindful of my phone usage and help me to develop healthier alternatives and habits. I was not going to pay for the premium because i assumed that the developer was selling user data and who wants to pay for an app when its making money off the statistics collected from your daily habits, but I read that the developer is not in the data selling business and I appreciate that and hope that’s its true so I did purchase it for the year. I will continue to use onesec but one gripe is that some apps, like gmail open quickly and onesec is not activated fast enough, so I already get a good look at my email for a few seconds before onesec pops up but otherwise it is pretty effective. I only have FB for social media and onesec has been working excellent for keeping usage down.

  • Great idea, but not well executed

    This app has honestly helped me curb my Instagram usage so much! I didn’t realize just how often I’ve been opening the app out of almost subconscious habit, but having this tool has helped me realize that I don’t have a good reason and I’m losing a lot of life I’d rather live.

    They have a few other features, but the main one I downloaded the app for - the intervention - has to be set up one app at a time (so won’t block new games), and and worse yet, you can only set up interventions for a limited list of common entertainment apps. If you’re getting stuck on anything but the most popular games and social medias, this app can’t help.

    Additionally, the app itself is confusing and difficult to navigate. All the possible features and integrations are in one big list, and it’s usually unclear what each thing does without a lot of experimentation. Having the main features highlighted with “enhancing features” as sub-parts, or having a tutorial that walks through all the main things you can do with the app, would be a lot easier.

  • Genuinely amazing.

    I didn’t realize how often I use social media when waiting for something, dealing with difficult emotions or just boredom. It’s so simple but helps so much to have something that helps you take a moment to reflect and asks you if you actually WANT to do what you’re about to do.

    Plus the subscription is ACTUALLY just a bonus. You don’t need it to reap the benefits. Please never change that, devlopers 🙏🏼

    Great app.

  • Fantastic app

    This app is really good ! It has significantly helped me reduce my screen time and manage my smartphone usage. I now feel like I’m quickly taking back control rather than being controlled by my phone. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to add a second intervention screen, instead of just a banner alert, when the allotted scrolling time is up. This would make the experience even more effective.

  • great.., to an extent

    I’ve been using it and loving it for about 6 months to keep me from mindlessly scrolling on instagram, and it’s been great. but the past few months I started getting these notifications from instagram that they could somehow “detect that my account is automated” and threats to remove my account. I deleted the app a few weeks ago and haven’t gotten a warning since. I don’t know if there is a way to fix this problem but if you guys ever do, i’d love to start using it again.
