Have something to say?
Re-intervention loop
Most of the times after doing an re-intervention the allotted time is not respected by the app and I get prompts to close or do a re-intervention again in like 30-40 seconds when I chose 15 mins. The only way it gets fixed is I have to close both, the app and one sec even from recent apps wait for 5-10 mins then start again.
Re-interventions stall
Sometimes there is a bug that after multiple re-interventions, the app just stops doing re-interventions.
wrong time shown by re-interventions
Hi, I've noticed that when multiple re-interventions are triggered, the timer displayed on the screen with “Continue to [app]” button shows the wrong amount of time passed. For example in the image I had first a 3 min intervention and then a 1 minute re-intervention totalling at 4 min, instead it says “last usage: 1 min ago”. I think it should be fixed so that the page displays the real…
Wider Re-Intervention Options?
Both on Android and desktop, max re-intervention can only go as low as 15 minutes. This doesn’t feel annoying enough, and given how I’m usually gonna choose the max anyway, I would love it if the max re-intervention could be set as low as 3 or even 1 minute!
FFox: Custom Time Limit for re-intervention
Allow a custom time limit for re-intervention. Currently there’s a slider to set the re-intervention interval anywhere from 1-15 minutes (or No Limit). Instead of the slider, allow for input of any number of minutes in a text box.
Timer Intervention
When I set a timer to re-intervene, if I close the app it makes me redo the timer and go through the breathe process. It would be nice if the app was fully unlocked while the timer is going on so every time I re-open the app I don’t have to set another timer
Option to not include re-interventions in 'times opened in 24 hours'
…time it does a re-intervention, it counts for the number of times I've opened the app in 24 hours so the number looks huge (like 40 opens in 24 hours) even though a large proportion are the re-interventions. Can there be an option to not count these re-interventions in the total times I've attempted to access the app? It seems counterintuitive that I have the re-intervention timer set low to…
30 second warning before intervention
I would love it if 30 seconds before the intervention starts again, I got a little pop up warning me of time left (or even better, a timer counting down to the intervention). I find the biggest reason I log back in is to finish a reel which is where the cycle starts again.
Use default time for re-intervention without having to scroll the dial
I find the initial intervention helpful, but the dial-scroll to select the time for the session (I.e. 10m) is unnecessary and gets in the way. It would be great if we can set the default max time (10m) and that is used for every session, before re-intervention kicks in. Even better: have the default 10m initially, and the re-intervention would bring back the dial for continued usage.
Intervention timer before accessing target app
It would be very useful to have the intervention forcefully take time(adjustable) instead of being based on physical action because my dopamine brain has already learned the fastest way to clear the intervention without thinking. The forced wait would make me wake up and think about if I really want to be on this app right now.
Randomize usage time in re-intervention
I’m using the re-intervention tool and realized, that if I allow myself 4 minutes of instagram, just before my time runs out, a reel I’m really interested starts to play and has its peak right after my usage time. I think the algorithm understood that I’ve been leaving the app after an whole-numbered amount of minutes and tries to incentivize me to come back again (which unfortunately happens ever so…
Bug bypassing Lengo re intervention with Lock Screen
I have the Lengo intervention activated and if I get a re intervention I can simply lock my phone and unlock it again without doing the intervention and the re intervention banner disappears in front of my eyes also the time limit is skipped so no more re interventions after that. I tried with friends and it seems this only happens to Lengo intervention users.
Please Re-Interventions possible for websites!
You can only add Apps to the re-intervention feature, not websites. It would be so useful to be able to add websites to the re-intervention feature too.
Custom / Longer Intervention Timer (e.g. 15 minutes)
I love 1 Sec and the intervention timer is genuinely one of its best features, it creates just enough friction to make me pause before mindlessly opening an app. That said, I’d love to see the timer options extended. Right now the preset options only go up to 2 minutes, which is too short for what I’m trying to do: use that waiting time to read a few pages of…
Dynamic Island TImer not working with Shortcuts URL scheme
Hi! The timer floats and disappears specifically when I enter apps without URL schemes using the Shortcuts workaround. When I also exit the app, the timer also floats and disappears — but I can see that it’s been tracking the time correctly, it just doesn’t remain there. Interventions (and reinterventions) work though! I’d really like the time to be visible.
A loophole that prevents reintervention
If i have an ongoing reintervention timer going on and I lock and unlock my phone during that period, then I get unlimited access to the app which is quite an easy way out and i twnd to use it sometimes
“Cool down” after a re-intervention
I often find myself doing breathing exercise after exercise. I would love if there was a strict block for like an hour or two until I’m allowed to do another breathing exercise and get back into the app. That would help me be productive while I wait out the timer! What do you guys think?
Visual Countdown Timer
A visual timer like a slim reverse progress bar at the top or bottom of the screen. This would ideally not block anything of the app in use, but still be a visual cue in the corner of our eye to see how much of use time is left before the next intervention. This way the brain can pre-adjust instead of being hit with an intervention in the middle of…
Make re-checks incrementally longer
To make it harder and harder to keep extending your time on an app after re-checking in, the delay to re-open the app should get incrementally longer (or at least make it an option to do so). For instance, the first re-check takes 10s, then the next one is 20s, next one is 40s, next one is 80s, and so on…
