minha experiência com one sec

simples e intuitivo, não precisa de pro para funcionar tranquilamente, interface fácil de entender

Thank you

Thank you

Closest thing to magic bullet

Cut my screen time dramatically instantly. I compulsively open apps and unfortunately the best advice to this point had been to just put your phone away, which I can’t do because of various reasons. This has been a life saver, I usually don’t gush this hard over an app but this had been hugely beneficial for me.

Please

Please add setting so one sec can work on chrome app on iPhone for websites!!!

Used to be amazing

I used to use the app about six months ago, and it worked perfectly. Now, every time I open the app, I’m forced to create a new account and sign in again, which is extremely frustrating.

On top of that, the app won’t let me block more than three apps at a time, even though I paid for a full year of the One Sec subscription. At this point, the subscription feels like a complete waste of money because I’m paying for features that either don’t work properly or that I can’t even use.

I really liked the app before, so it’s disappointing to see it become this difficult to use. I’d appreciate it if these issues could be fixed or if someone could explain why my paid subscription isn’t working as expected.

Please add Minecraft

Please add the game "Minecraft" to the "Shortcuts" app for setting usage restrictions. Otherwise, the app is great

Amazing app to stop procrastination.

This app is great for people addicted to procrastination. It’s really eye opening to see how many times I opened this app and how much time I saved. Opening Instagram or tik tok has always been so impulsive to me that I don’t even realize it when I do it. This app provides a breathing exercise before opening up social media and it’s great to stop impulsivity and be more aware of the apps that you are opening up on your phone.

Great app - suggestion!

It’s a great app, but like all addictions you’ll always find a way around it. I think for the recurring block feature I’d like to see an option where I’m not able to turn off the block in the next hour as well as the current hour. For example at 9.57pm I can turn off the hour 10-11 and in three minutes I’m doom scrolling away!

很一般

ui也不美观,功能限制太多,体验不太好

5/5 would recommend

Begone doomscrolling 😩(i know I can just uninstall those apps, but this is a sweet compromise)

莫名其妙耗电严重

没在使用且关闭后台的时候,还是在后台24小时耗电!!

Bud big price

Not free

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!

no goon

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!
