Expiration Date for Scheduled Blocks

Feature Request

Create block on app for X days

Say I want to break the cycle of use. Currently I have a strict 24-h block for apps that I want to prevent myself from using at all but I can’t remove the block (which is honestly fine). I would like to be have a strict 24-h block for a set period though. Like maybe I need a detox from Instagram but don’t completely want to get rid of it forever.

    Hi @Katie Miller , thanks for getting in touch!

    fFor which platform is this request?

    You can just create a block session/ manual block on Android and iOS like this: https://tutorials.one-sec.app/en/articles/3311298

    On Browser Extension it should also be possible by tapping the one sec symbol → open dashboard → navigate from Overview tab to Block tab → New Block → Set to once → Add time and the pages you want to block. (Attached Screenshots)

      I mainly use iOS. I was thinking of a scheduled block that expires after a set period of time (2 weeks or 30d)

        @Katie Miller I like your idea! So basically a detox/fasting feature?

          Exactly. Something to help me break a habit I might have or take a vacation from my phone.

          In my perfect world I with I could turn my iPhone into almost a dumb phone with all the messaging, navigation and fitness apps. That’s beyond the scope of this idea though lol
