NEW INDIE APP COLLAB 🥳

You can now integrate LENGO and one sec to force yourself to learn vocabulary before you can use social media.

This feature works in the free versions of our apps.

Nils, the founder of LENGO, is a fellow indie developer from Germany. We met at the App Store Get Together at the new Apple offices in Berlin earlier this year – and had the idea to combine our apps in a meaningful way.

Give it a try, I found it very useful!

Here’s what’s new in one sec v3.6:

‣ Dynamic Island Timer
‣ New Block Screen designs
‣ Interactive widget to start new Block Sessions
‣ Apps can now be blocked with Screen Time during specific Foci + Block Sessions.
‣ Per-app intervention schedule.
‣ All new overview screen.
‣ Shortcuts app can now be locked.
‣ Last pickup Lock Screen widget.
‣ New scientific study with Berkeley (University of California) and Heidelberg University.

…and a ton of bug fixes!

Hope you enjoy the new version!

✨ What if an app forced you to develop healthier habits instead of being delivered to the seduction of social media right away?

With update 3.4,
one sec can now prompt you to journal before accessing social media first thing in the morning.

Some thoughts on #Mastodon, @glass, @onesec, and how to set things up for more deliberate decisions.

Frederik's Notion on Notion
- Fixes an issue where some alternative app icons could not be selected in one sec’s settings.
- Fixes a bug where healthy alternatives would not be displayed in the “black screen” and “rotate phone” interventions.
- Fixes an issue where the minimal intervention settings wouldn't allow you to customize the breathing phrase.
- Fixes an issue where the Focus Block Screen was displayed incorrectly on iPhone Max models.
- Adds out-of-the-box-support for more than 75 highly-requested apps.

I built one sec for myself in the very first lockdown of 2020, because I spent way too much time on Instagram and online news. As an app developer, I always tend to solve my problems by building new apps…the idea of one sec was born. After using the prototype for two weeks myself, I noticed my screen time was down 44% – and decided to polish the app and publish it on the AppStore. The app gained traction quickly, and received many 5-star ratings on the AppStore.

✨ Happy to announce I’m filling in a new important position:

@GruningJ is one sec’s lead scientist!

His responsibilities: funneling all research, and organizing experiments within the app.

There are many cool things to come 😏

one sec research

one sec changes smartphone habits deeply and sustainably. We have conducted research on the psychological effects of the app demonstrating that one sec reduces app usage by 57% and significantly improves life satisfaction. Please note: one sec does not collect user data by default, only users who opt-in to participate in our studies, and fill out the intro/exit surveys contribute data.
