Description from store
one sec forces you to take a deep breath whenever you open social media or other distracting websites. 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.
You just wanted to check that one message – and ended up scrolling for 30 minutes on Instagram? Social media companies use psychological traps to keep you hooked and spend as much time on their apps as possible. Time that could be spent so much better – with your family and friends, getting work done or for your hobbies and wellbeing.
Many apps and tools block social media for a limited amount of time to help you focus. This might increase your productivity for the moment, but the real problem – your habitual urge to check apps and websites to get that dopamine boost – stays.
The one sec Chrome Extension is designed from ground up to keep your information private and secure. All usage data is stored offline, on-device, and only you can access it. I make money selling apps and subscriptions, not your data!
one sec is also available for iPhone, iPad, and Android Devices to block native apps and websites. More info on my website.

- (2025-08-17) Artem: nice
- (2025-08-15) Samuel Szuchan: This is the first app I've really seen cure my habits. Instead of arbitrary blocks, it lets you technically open at any time, but forces you to really think if you want to actually open the thing.
- (2025-08-12) Ali Baba: very nice work on extention
- (2025-08-11) Selva Bharathy: great

- (2025-08-08) Temba Mateke: Been using it for only a couple of days and it's already one of the most useful and best designed chrome extensions I have.
- (2025-08-07) Phani Vadrevu: One sec has been awesome so far! I feel like this "softer version" of blocking where you have the control each time but just reminding you constantly is simply perfect!! And, all the features look very well-thought out and constantly evolving. Kudos to the team. Of course, this is still early days for me but I really hope I keep using this app/extension system for a long time. (I really wish something was there for physical activities too 😂)

- (2025-07-04) Nguyễn Đặng Hửu Trúc: so useful
- (2025-07-03) Liz Hay: This is better than apps that 'limit' your time. Forcing me to make a choice every time is like that little grain of sand in your shoe--just aggravating enough to make me rethink my choices.
- (2025-07-03) Christian Michael: yeah. it's amazing.

- (2025-07-01) Joey Martin: Incredibly useful extension. The app is better (with more functionality), but the chrome extension being free and effortless to set up is very nice. Would rate 5 stars if website sub-addresses could be individually blocked (I need YouTube but I waste so much time on shorts ToT).

- (2025-06-01) Yuki Iwasawa: Best app ever.

- (2025-05-29) Wonderful Alice: Best. The app has been the hack to living well that I've always needed. I didn't realise how distracted and on autopilot I used to be all the time. I was glad to buy the pro version for my phone as well. 10/10 recommend.

- (2025-05-18) Nathan Masters: good, free, works well, could be more ways though to optimise it to you
