Privacy Concerns
I used this app for a year back in 2023 and then never used it again but it sat in my phone since then. I recently (as in July 2026) was saving a page on safari to my reading lists and one of the options was “Add to onesec’s reading list”. I am honestly baffled at why onesec would even have a reading list to begin with. It’s an app to lower screen time. I never created a reading list for this app nor did I give it permission to create one. Zero stars if I could.

Baited in
You have to go through a lot of steps on your phone to block your apps. They send you a whole workflow to your email and everything. And then overnight, suddenly, they say that they will only lock you out of 1 app (versus the 3 I took my time to set up). Classic bait and switch.
Great app on iOS but experience between Mac and iOS needs to be more so the same
Like how its genuinely difficult to get around on iOS but way too easy to get around on Mac, especially through just disabling the extension or (if a website is blocked), clicking reload without content blockers. Frustrating how there’s no blocking schedule available on Mac for free but is available on iOS as blocking is the main thing that stops me ruining my sleep schedule through social media apps. Better integration fully with screen time on Mac would be better than an extension (or alongside an extension). Still an awesome utility and has definitely decreased my screen time 3-fold easily

Most effective screen time app
I’ve used and paid for subscriptions, apps like opal etc. This app is by far the most effective, it doesn’t use simulator type methods to get you hooked on not using apps, but enables you to think consciously about your choice and doesn’t force you to stay away if you actually WANT to use it.
Cool App
Kinda problematic they allow you to strict-block without setting an app, which combined with some of the other features, can be sort of a phone breaking feature. But the Detox feature is great!

good no goon
I tell all my friends about this!
one sec has been almost life-changing. It used to be one of my most opened apps because it interrupted all the times I tried to doomscroll! I love this app and it was so helpful. Setting it up, takes a little bit of work, but it was so worth it! My screen time has gone down significantly, and I have so much better boundaries on my screen usage. Every time the topic of looking at your phone too much comes up in conversation, I always recommend this app!

Too expensive
I would totally pay $1.60 or whatever it is a month. But that’s not an option. You have to pay for a year up front which is $19.99 a year. Most people are not gonna want to pay $20 bucks for something, they would much rather be allowed to pay 1.60 something a month. You’d probably make more money with this app if you offered more flexible and realistic payment options. Cuz it’s a great concept. But yeah way too much up front cost.

Just Basic
The app fundamentally lacks essential features, such as the ability to insert images or media directly from the photo library, relying solely on the camera. Additionally, the built-in text editor is quite limited in functionality, and there appears to be no way to delete images once they are added.
Non-Functional
They will happily accept your money for a subscription, but will not respond when you report an error via email. Do not recommend.
Greatest ever
I love this app. I used it for quite a long time for college because I was procrastinating by going on social media so much. At some point I ended up having to delete it because I was finding work arounds but have finally downloaded it again because I get so sucked into instagram daily. One sec my goat. I tried using opal for a change of pace but immediately got annoyed with how it is set up and came back to one sec.

Works
Sometimes I delete this because I get pissy about waiting 30 seconds to scroll, only to discover that I’m totally cooked without it.
Took away features for free users
Guess I’m too poor to benefit from an app like this. Raising the price and taking away options I already had is insulting. I genuinely enjoyed this app until it stopped allowing me to use it without paying a large recurring fee. Sad.
Massively useful app and great devs
This app is great for controlling my problematic social media use and when I pointed out an issue I hit, the devs communicated closely and fixed it!
Doesn’t work sometimes
Sometimes it just doesn’t open and skips the screen and goes to the app
I just delete the app
I’ve always tried these type of apps but they never actually work because I just delete the app
good until they got greedy
this really helps, keeps you from opening the apps instinctively and if I set the intro time really long I usually just get irritated and give up on opening the app. However the free version now only lets you have it configured for one app which is just ridiculous. Having app switching locked behind the subscription was already enough as that was super irritating and would’ve been worth paying money for.
