✨ 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.

**Finite feeds and friendly friction**
How a little road bump in your iPhone nudges you to make more deliberate decisions on where you spend your time.

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

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 😏

@cliffwade @fedigardens I’d like to think Fedigardens is part of that bigger discussion and is proposing ideas that other clients might not have yet. For example, the interventions feature I’ve been working on with @onesec, where you have breathing exercises to prevent doom scrolling.
