About: Fight the social media algorithms and win back control over your phone usage &
your subconsciousness!
“one sec” uses Shortcuts Automation to toggle a deep
breath animation whenever you open one of the configured apps (Instagram,
Twitter, YouTube…). This breaks unconcious social media habits short-term
(literally, as soon as you have set it up) and even helps long-term by adding
more friction when opening these apps.
The following contact options are available: Pricing Information, Support, General Help, and Press Information/New Coverage (to guage reputation). Discover which options are the fastest to get your customer service issues resolved.

First I got to say I am using the free version. It gives you one app to use the function for. Which is fine and I do not criticize.
However, my two star review is mainly made up of for one it more often than not asks you to upgrade to pro instead of giving you the one deep breath exercise which makes me more annoyed than helps me to be more mindful.
I didn’t know I could only have one app which is why I had a second app set up with it. The app then prompted me to either upgrade to pro or chose between the two apps. I chose and even deleted the action I said up in shortcuts but it will ask me now to choose between both apps or upgrade over and over again. Pretty annoying bug.
And then, money might not be a factor for you, but it is for me, so this last point might be irrelevant; I do not understand what justifies the price of the app for the full version. $50 for a perpetual license is just not realistic for the average person, neither adding yet another subscription of $4 per month ($18.5 if you pay for the whole year up front). I really wish app creators would realize this.
TL;DR I like the idea but it’s too buggy in general and too spammy with their subscription service which is also overpriced. I will just uninstall and go back to leaving my phone in a different room again.

The articles won’t load—under the instructions tab. I would really love to be able to read through them to be able to use the app better and be better at using social media, but every time I click on one of the articles, it says it can’t be loaded. I’m giving it 3/5 only for that reason, because if I could load these, it would be perfect. I would appreciate if these could be fixed. Thank you.

It really helps you eliminate that knee-jerk reaction to opening app mindlessly. My only issue with it is that it ends up creating lots of notifications.
I know it’s Apple’s fault, since they make it impossible to permanently disable Shortcuts notifications, but sadly it adds up to the overall app experience. Cluttering the Notification Center is an unwanted side-effect of the app (although FAR less important than the problem it solved).
Would love for Apple to solve this issue soon
PS. I’m aware of the option to hide notifications within Screen Time, but they get turned back on again each day when i turn on my phone in the morning
PPS. Don’t let this little bug prevent you from getting this life-changing app
