one sec | app blocker, focus (PRO) 2.0.12
The description of one sec | screen time & focus
one sec forces you to take a deep breath whenever you open distracting apps.
It’s as simple as effective: You will reduce your social media usage just by becoming aware of it. one sec is the focus app that tackles the problem of unconscious social media use at its root. It is designed to change your habits on a long-term basis.
one sec works so great because it is fully automated – and forces you to reflect on your actions – while they happen.

2. Long-term habits change because these apps appear less appealing to your brain (their “dopamine on demand” effect fades away).
