Changelog

Another small, but important bug-fix update:

This update fixes an issue where on iOS 16 and earlier the “Closing Automation” and “Start Block Session” Shortcut would not work anymore.

This time it’s not my fault, it’s something that Apple has acknowledged in their release notes (including a workaround which I have now applied in this update, see FB13664020):
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-15_3-release-notes

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Some users have been reporting issues with the one sec widgets in the last update.
Sorry about that!
This update should fix that.

And if you haven’t checked out the widgets so far:

one sec has three amazing widgets you should give a try (now that they work again ;) ):

1. The “Last Pickup” lock screen widget: shows which app you used last and how long ago.
2. Statistics Widget: Time spent + open attempts for the last 24hrs.
3. Block Session Widget: Start block sessions right from your Home Screen.

Sorry for the bug!

Fixes an issue where the "always type intention" option would end up in an endless loop when opening an app.

Sorry about the trouble!

- Fixes an issue where the permission for “Don’t get lost notifications” wasn't asked for.
- Fixes an issue where “Github” and “FIFA Companion” would not appear in the list of apps to be intervened by one sec.
- Fixes an issue where one sec would crash when the device was set to French during the setup.

Also, of course, includes the improvements from the small update 3.4.1:
- Fixes an issue where a block session wouldn't be displayed correctly.
- Fixes an issue where one sec would crash on iOS 14.4 and earlier.

Journal with joy: join the journey with one sec’s new journaling intervention:

- If enabled, the journaling intervention will prompt you to write 25 words the first time you open social media in the morning (and in the evening). Otherwise, you’ll see the normal intervention.
- You can also directly start a new journal entry from the “Good Morning Countdown” or healthy alternatives.
- Like all data in one sec, your journal entries are stored on your device (and in your private iCloud container), I cannot access them.
- Journaling, and reflecting on your emotions and what you’re thankful for is a very healthy habit that sparks happiness (according to science)! I hope that one sec disrupting a bad habit can help to spark new, positive habits in your life. That’s why I created this feature.

◆ How to enable the new Journaling Intervention ◆

Go to one sec settings → "Healthy Habits" and you’ll be able to enable morning / evening journaling interventions. Force yourself to journal, reflect on your feelings the first time you open an app after waking up—and again in the evening before going to bed. You can also always add entries to your journal via the "Healthy Alternatives" within interventions.

◆ Journal Emotion Explorer ◆

On top of that, I’ve added an “emotion explorer” into the Journaling Intervention. I know it can be hard sometimes to figure out the (complex) emotions that we feel, and I believe structuring them can help a bit to navigate and identify the right ones.

◆ Journal Prompt Generator ◆

Depending on the context, the journal can optionally display prompts:

- Morning Reflection
- Evening Reflection
- Mid-Week Reflection
- Week Reflection
- Month Reflection

◆ Journal History ◆

You can see all journal entries in one sec → customize → Journaling → History. It’s such a cool thing to read the entries of your past self – even if it’s just two weeks ago.

…and there is even more:

◆ Sync with Structured: adding Colors! ◆

You can now adapt one sec’s intervention behavior based on the color of ongoing, unfinished tasks in Structured. Please make sure you have both the latest Structured & one sec version installed to make this work. You can find the new options in one sec → customize → Structured.

◆ Some small improvements and bug fixes ◆

- Fixes an issue where the one sec Safari Extension wouldn’t block apps during active block sessions while the intervention schedule was off.
- You can now allow BeReal to be opened once per day without intervention.
- You can now edit app-specific settings at the bottom of each app statistics.
- Fixes an issue where the Intention Picker wouldn’t be shown for the “Follow the Dot” intervention.
- Fixes an issue where the status bar and the outer progress indicator wouldn’t be visible for apps with a complete dark background (e.g. BeReal) during the “Follow the Dot” intervention.
- Fixes an issue where the iOS Safari Extension would state that it’s set up with one sec even through you’ve pressed cancel.

I really hope you enjoy these big + small improvements!

Announcing the biggest collab in AppStore history!!

one sec now integrates with Structured, an app made by my friend and fellow indie dev, Leo Mehlig. **Structured** is a planner app that visualizes your tasks in a beautiful timeline of your day.

This small update fixes an issue where the Structured integration wouldn’t block app while the normal intervention wasn’t scheduled to run. Also fixing a crash when the Structured intervention was triggered by a custom app.

Also fixed:

- a bug where the “adult content detox” feature wouldn’t work.
- a bug where the one sec widget wouldn’t get updated

Also, if you haven’t read the release notes of one sec 3.2, here’s a quick overview of what’s new:

- one sec is now much faster (so you will see less (or even nothing) of distracting apps before the intervention kicks in).
- Much improved customization settings for interventions.
- Scheduled blocking.
- New Intention picker.
- More languages.
- Adult Content Detox.

Fixes a bug where Intervention Schedule couldn't be enabled/disabled.

On top of that, all the news from last version are, of course, included as well:

- Adding support for more apps: Draftkings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Line, Google, Diablo Immortal, Teams, Clubhouse, ZDFheute, Squid News, DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser.
- Adding more healthy apps: Notes, Notion, Calm, Things.
- Adds Focus Filters for iOS 16: modify one sec’s behavior depending on your current Focus mode, e.g. block certain apps completely or adding an extra-long intervention.
- Adds new mirror exercise: look in your eyes and tell yourself that you really want to open that app right now…
- Fixes a bug where the Focus Session wouldn’t work when one sec was not scheduled or the intentional app switching was still active.
- Adds a new feature that lets you increase the intervention duration for every attempt to open a target app.
- Adds intention reminder in a picture-in-picture view when proceeding to the target app.
- Adds new Shortcut that lets you export stats data from one sec to other apps or storage services.

I’ve been working hard for the last 10 weeks on this update for one sec.
Indeed, there have been so many improvements that I decided to jump to the next major version: one sec 3.0 is here!

NEW APP ICON
To celebrate the launch of this big update, we’ve designed a new app icon for one sec: showcasing the brief moment of reflection of your habits, disrupting your app usage patterns.
We’re now making use of the new gradient in the app icon throughout the app as well – and added a new primary color for buttons and highlights.

NEW EXERCISES
- Rotate Phone: very annoying, because you have to physically rotate your device three times in order to unlock the app. My idea is also, that additional senses (using your hands, haptics) makes you more aware and helps to disrupt habits.
- Black screen: Fades out into black, and takes some time to come back to let you continue into the app.
- Minimal breathing: Reduces colors, optimized for dark mode.

NEW STATISTICS
- Much improved app stats page.
- You have now a better overview about your progress.
- one sec now shows how much time it has already saved you.
- Prediction for how much time you’ll save per year (at your current pace).

NEW: HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES
Get concrete and actionable healthy alternatives when opening social media apps:
- Add sports, hobbies, and well-being activities.
- Add close friends and family contacts to get suggestions to call or text them.
- Add photo albums to get suggestions to take a look at nice memories and pictures of loved ones.
- Get reading suggestions from one sec‘s reading list.
- Connect one sec with your calendar and reminders to help you get more structured.
- Get suggestions for good apps, such as eBook readers, podcasts, music, yoga, meditation.

NEW: MORNING COUNTDOWN
one sec won’t let you access configured apps directly after waking up (integrates with HealthKit).

ADVANCED SCHEDULING
- you can now change one sec’s schedule for each weekday.
- New Siri Shortcut for Focus Mode.

REFINED DESIGN
- Restructured + regrouped settings panel (incl. privacy + data tab).
- More granular settings for each configured app and website.
- New exercise picker, giving a visual preview of what to expect.

OPTIMIZED TUTORIALS
- Setup and App Closing Tutorials: send the tutorial to your own email address or AirDrop them to your computer.
- Redesigned setup / tutorial pages including screenshots.
- New tutorial videos.
- New suggestions feed (including setup + closing tutorials).

- You can now set alternative app icons on iPad.
- Adds new apps: MyDealz and Zeit Online

You can now select different time intervals (week / month / year) and scroll through your history of data, viewing the ups and downs of your app usage.

As a reminder, those features are available in one sec pro:

- Quick app-switching
- Additional exercises
- Scheduling
- Alternative app icons
