one sec | screen time + focus
This text discusses a new screen time tool called "one sec" that differs from others by delaying access to apps and websites instead of completely blocking them. It cites a scientific study conducted by the Max-Planck Institute and Heidelberg University, which confirms that app usage decreases by an average of 57% with the use of "one sec." The tool aims to help individuals regain control over their phone usage and subconsciousness, specifically targeting social media algorithms. "one sec" utilizes Shortcuts Automation to present a deep breath animation when opening certain apps like Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, interrupting unconscious social media habits in the short-term and creating more resistance to opening these apps in the long-term. It encourages users to reflect on their actions, thoughts, and feelings regarding app usage, promoting mindfulness and disrupting harmful social media habits. Additionally, "one sec" allows users to contribute their mindful moments to the Health App through HealthKit. The app provides various subscription options, including one sec pro with annual, monthly, or lifetime unlock. The End User License Agreement (EULA) and Privacy Policy for "one sec" are also provided.
