I’ve been using onesec[1] for a year now it’s been working great for me. Additionally works great on the browser I use. Onesec uses the shortcut/automation on iOS to intercept app open and not the screen time api you mentioned. So it does take a little time for the initial setup, that’s the only friction I remember from a long time. Just putting it out there. I do like the additional social feature here. Would give it a try. 1. https://one-sec.app/ https://one-sec.app/

they've executed brilliantly, glad to see it's working well for you. along with the one-tap setup and social accountability features you point out, other noticeable differences between their solution and our are - we can pull you out of an app at the end of the time you intended to use it for - we support restricting websites - we let you accumulate your progress over time via a streak, which is quite motivating (at least for me personally)

  One sec lets you restrict websites! But the other two features you listed are compelling. I may give it a try

  I just installed it on my iPad, but adding a number (I am on my iPad and I am in the 0.00001% who doesn’t use phones) is a no go. There is an Apple sign in, but I prefer e-mail if possible. The Apple signup also cuts of at the bottom. You mention phone use in the description of the app, but also address iPad users if possible. I am big fan of allowing people to see what would be happen by choosing one over the other, usually with a (?) symbol. So I am not going to use it right now. Hope you can work with this feedback.

I've also been using one sec, and ended up paying for Pro use. A feature I really like is the ability to increase the duration of the waiting period every time you successfully open the app within a 24 hour period. Just a suggestion if you're looking for them. It's also very rigorous about switching to the app from other apps, to the point where even if you quickly switch out it will make you wait again when switching back. The ability to bypass this within a 10 minute window (or whatever) is what made me pay for it. Not sure if yours does the same thing, but thought I'd suggest that too. I'll give yours a try. Thanks for making my phone better!
