one sec | screen time + focus

I have had one sec since 30 November 2023 and life time access to all its futures. Yesterday I opened the app and all the futures were gone. I tried to restore the purchase but nothing happens.

This did not work when tryin on YouTube iOS 15

I’ve genuinely saved weeks with this app. I have it set to not let me on instagram until I do a morning journal entry and it pushes me to start the day right.

Missing features: Customizable interventions, where you have to write a text of your own choosing, instead of a random text. This shouldn’t be hard to do. Intervention straight after opening the phone at certain times, like first time in the morning. Thank you

Innovative way to help reduce the negative impacts of doom scrolling. It doesn’t feel like I’m being told what to do, it just helps you reevaluate what you actually want and are you going to feel like you made the right choice later on!

Extremely frustrating. Tried enabling intervention boosters but every time it asks me to subscribe, although I am already subscribed (on the 30 days trial). I click anyway, it confirms I am subscribed and I have access to all features but then sends me back to square 1 and it all repeats itself. Not impressed at all and definitely will not be paying for this- cancelling my trial straight away.

This app is so well thought through and I’ve loved seeing the feature set grow over the last couple of years. It does take a bit of time and experimentation to get it set up but I wouldn’t look back. My favourite features are being able to block certain apps at specific times of day e.g. when I should be asleep and the “don’t get lost notifications” which remind me that I’ve been scrolling Facebook for 15 minutes (or however long I set it for) and ask me if I should stop. With premium, you can configure it so you can switch in and out of an app within a few minutes without having to re-do the intervention which I also really like.

I liked the idea of this app in principle, but I find it irritating that if I minimise the app for just a moment and then reopen it immediately I have to sit through the pause again. I see this can be changed but only for paid users. I found this too irritating and ended up uninstalling the app.

I’ve looked at tiktok once today and its to test if it works i accidentally tapped on it and i took a deep breath and thought i actually don’t want to go on it anymore so it does really work!!

Takes a bit to get setup, but once you do, it’s worth it. It just asks you if you actually want to open the app, instead of stopping you, which I find much more effective as I can still use social media when I want to. It also asks how long you want to use it for, and will check back with me after that time so I can’t lose track of time and spend longer than I wanted to on social media. It does have a subscription, which, although some features are free, you do need to get the most out of it. However, it’s only £20 a year and has a one week free trial so I can’t complain too much.
