Interventions in one sec are small exercises that pop up before you can continue to a target app. By default, this is the Breathing Exercise.

The goal of each intervention is to help you reflect on your phone usage and decide if you really want to open a particular app. Interventions are designed to take away the instant gratification that social media apps purposefully build in – one sec is the ultimate protection against their algorithms!

Customize Intervention Settings

On the Android app, you can easily customize how long the intervention takes and what text is displayed to you while you wait.

  1. Open the one sec app.

  2. Navigate to Settings.

  3. Here you can adjust the intervention duration as well as the phrase that is displayed during the breathing exercise.

(Note: We are constantly working on bringing more intervention types from our iOS version to Android. Stay tuned for future updates!)
