Stop opening social media on autopilot. one sec adds a short pause before distracting apps so you can choose what deserves your attention. This principle works really well: we have gained scientific evidence in numerous research studies with the Max-Planck Institute, with the German and Danish government, and in dozens more scientific collaborations: one sec has incredible effects on your screen time: app usage drops by 57% on average! …just read our App Store reviews or try it for yourself if you don’t believe me (…you should really try it)! How is one sec different from Screen Time limits or app blockers? - one sec DELAYS access to distracting apps instead of blocking apps completely – that’s an important difference psychologically. - This way, we solve the screen time problem at its roots: long-term & sustainably! - one sec is always on, and makes using social media just slightly more annoying…so you’ll end up using it only when you actually have a reason! Which apps can I use with one sec? - You can set up one sec with any app you’d like to use less / more intentional. - Most popular use-cases are: social media, games, video streaming, dating, stock/coin trading, adult content. - Using one sec with one app of your choice is completely free, for more you’ll need to purchase one sec pro (we also need to finance development of our app!). What if I get stuck scrolling? - No worries, one sec offers a Doom Scroll Emergency Brake: We call it Re-Intervention. - After a set time (e.g. 5 minutes) you’ll be kicked out of social media, and you’ll have to go through an intervention again to unlock more time. Where can I learn more about the scientific background of one sec? → https://one-sec.app/research Can I use one sec to interrupt access to websites as well? → Yes, one sec offers a free Safari extension as well. How does one sec work technically? - one sec uses Shortcuts Automation to toggle a deep breath animation whenever you open one of the configured apps (Instagram, Twitter, YouTube…). - This breaks unconscious social media habits short-term (literally, as soon as you have set it up) and even helps long-term by adding more friction when opening these apps. Integrations: - Structured: one sec blocks apps during unfinished tasks. - LENGO: learn vocabulary to unlock social media. I developed one sec for myself in 2020…and it worked so well I decided to upload it to the App Store. Especially for people with ADHD one sec is a great tool to gain back control for incredible focus and concentration. – Frederik Legal information: Available Subscription Options: one sec pro (annual / monthly / lifetime unlock) one sec can contribute mindful moments to the Health App via HealthKit. one sec is covered by U.S. Patent 12,468,828 B2.

Uan escucha lo que le pedís y se lo manda a la IA que mejor lo resuelve. Vos escribís una sola vez, en un solo lugar. Una es mejor para escribir, otra para programar, otra para traducir, otra para contestar rápido. Uan las tiene a todas y elige la que corresponde, pedido por pedido. CÓMO ELIGE Cada pedido pasa por un clasificador que reconoce de qué se trata: código, escritura, traducción, una cuenta, una pregunta suelta. Con eso elige. DE DÓNDE SACÓ LO QUE TE DICE Si para contestarte buscó en internet, te muestra las fuentes que usó y las podés abrir una por una. TU PLAN, A LA VISTA Hay una pantalla que te dice qué plan tenés, cuánto te queda de este mes y qué día se renueva. Abajo, dos listas cortas: lo que ya podés hacer y lo que se te abre si algún día querés más. Entrás, mirás y sabés dónde estás parado. EL PLAN GRATIS SIRVE Rutea igual que los planes pagos: las mismas IAs y el mismo criterio para elegirlas. Podés mandarle una foto o un PDF para que los lea, buscar en internet, pedirle imágenes, música y video. Lo que queda para los planes de arriba es la IA más potente de todas —la que se reserva para lo verdaderamente difícil—. Adentro de la app eso se ve con candado, sin letra chica. CUESTA 4 VECES MENOS El plan de entrada son US$4,99 por mes. ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro y Google AI Pro cobran unos US$20 cada uno — 4 veces más. No es una versión recortada: elegís entre las mismas IAs de punta que usan esas suscripciones, sin resignar calidad ni funciones por pagar menos. Te suscribís sin salir de la app, con tu cuenta de la tienda. CÓMO SE ENTRA HOY Con Google o con Apple entrás directo. Con mail y contraseña te llega un código al mail y lo escribís en la app, sin salir de ella. No hace falta invitación ni esperar a que alguien te habilite: el plan gratis anda desde el primer minuto. Hecho en Buenos Aires.
