one sec gives you the chance to think twice – before you get sucked into an endless loophole designed to draw you in for hours.
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 Edge Extension is designed from ground up to keep your information private and secure. There are no accounts, no login, no tracking, no profiling. All data is stored offline, on-device, and only you can access it. I make money selling apps and subscriptions, not your data!

- (2023-03-24) Kathleen: Love onesec for my computer and ESPECIALLY my phone! Just that moment of mindfulness has decreased my social media usage significantly and I find myself doing more productive things with my time (reading, working, etc.) Anything I can do to combat the addiction the tech companies are trying to push on me is worth it in my book.

- (2023-03-06) Chris: This is a powerful weapon to help you fight back against Tech companies that sneakily try to hack your brain and addict you to their websites/apps. As someone who knows a thing or two about behavioral economics and the kinds of psychology that these tech giants wield against its users, this is something they do not want you to have. The last thing they want is a bunch of users exercising self-control before they engage with their platform. Every single part of these websites is designed to undermine your self-control and manipulate you into doing something that benefits *them*. They don't care if it's shrinking your prefrontal cortex or causing an epidemic of mental health problems among our youth or degrading society as a whole. Reflect on that while you take a deep breath, count to 3, and close the app you reflexively opened. Also, I checked out the science they did, it was actually really well conducted. I bought the pro version without hesitation and will keep this app forever.
