About One Sec
One Sec doesn't just block apps—it inserts a deliberate pause. When you tap Instagram or Twitter, it triggers a breathing exercise that lasts a few seconds, giving your impulse time to cool. The result? You open the app less often, and when you do, it's intentional.
What it does
One Sec intercepts app launches on iOS and Android, overlaying a guided breathing prompt before the app opens. You can customize which apps trigger it and adjust the delay length. It also tracks how many times you've been 'saved' from opening an app.
