Description

Fight the social media algorithms and win back control over your social media usage & your subconsciousness!

“one sec” forces you to take a deep breath whenever you open one of the configured websites or apps (Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram,…). This breaks unconcious 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 websites and apps.

Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present: Did you really want to open Instagram?
This app helps you to reflect your actions, thoughts, and feelings; disrupting harmful social media habits with mindfulness.

Version 1.3.1

TLDR: This update implements workarounds for Apple’s Sequoia software glitches in order to restore one sec’s full functionality.

Detailed info:

This update fixes a bug introduced by Apple with macOS Sequoia (macOS 15.0) and Safari 18.0.

Unfortunately, Apple has introduced a bug that causes permanent data loss (one of the worst bug categories that exist):

All of one sec’s statistics and settings are lost after updating to macOS Sequoia :(

Yeah, this is not cool.

But there’s nothing we can do.

To top it off, they have also introduced a new bug in Safari 18.0.1 in attempt to fix the previous issue.

Now their storage API isn’t behaving according to the specification anymore.

This update of one sec compensates for that.

If you have both Safari 18.0.1 and one sec 1.3.1 installed on your Mac, you can finally enjoy using one sec and all its features again!

I’m sorry about all the trouble, but this was out of our hands.

If you’re interested in the backgrounds of this, WebKit is open source and you can read all the details here:

If you wrote a review about one sec not working anymore, I’d appreciate if you could revisit it now.
Thanks a lot for understanding.

One sec is simply perfect

They don’t sell your data, they can’t even access it.

The devs behind this are quite good at implementing features that improved the already well rounded app. They also have put in dyslexic mode to help, so thumbs up for including that.

It’s perfect!

Pricing completely unreasonable

Putting a subscription pricing on something like this is unreasonable. I’m an app developer myself and I’m all for devs getting paid, but for such a small utility, subscription is unethical, and the one time cost is crazy, especially considering that the core functionality is performed by Shortcuts, not One Sec. I’d gladly pay $5 or maybe $10 but $30‽

The constant nagging for money when it’s supposed to be a mindfulness app is also incredibly off putting.

You can do this yourself

You can create your own version of this by using the Shortcuts app all the way. You don’t get the data on how many hours you save but you can create the function of being prompted with a yes/no question when trying to open the app (+ opening the app or going back to homescreen depending on your answer).

Sure, you dont get data and a cute prompt, but you save the money you would have to pay for using this app for more than one flow.
