APP
OF THE
DAY
one sec | screen time + focus
App & Website Limit, Blocker
Ever find yourself mindlessly opening an app while you’re in a queue, taking the bus or supposedly watching that show you’re really into? Break the cycle with One sec. It encourages you to take a breath before you open anything that you’ve identified as one of your time-wasters.
What we love: The encouragement to try alternative activities that enrich our day-to-day. Go to Settings > Healthy Alternatives and One sec will suggest things such as stretching, yoga exercises and even some language learning. That time you get back can be as productive as you want it to be.
Quick tip: If you decide to go ahead and open an app, One sec can send you a notification of how much time you’re spending on it. To do this, activate the “Reminder push after app open” option under Settings.
