One Sec
A browser and mobile extension that forces a short, intentional pause before opening distracting apps or websites to reduce impulsive scrolling and reclaim time.

This app inserts automated, configurable delays whenever you try to open selected apps or websites, interrupting habitual impulses with simple unlocking actions like guided breathing, following a dot, a brief black screen, rotating the phone, or a mirror prompt.

Built with input from psychologists and UX experts and tested in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute and Heidelberg University, the tool has been shown to reduce app usage substantially (study-reported average reductions around 57%) and reports large cumulative time savings. It supports iOS, Android, Mac and browser extensions and can suggest healthy alternatives, schedule blocks, or fully block targets for focused periods.

Privacy-focused design keeps data on-device rather than selling or analyzing it centrally. Basic configuration for one app or website is free and a free trial is available so you can evaluate effects before paying.
