Desktop app that works for ALL distractions, even apps outside of browser

Feature RequestWindows

I like the browser extension, but it only solves part of the problem. On my windows computer I get distracted by opening steam to play games and stuff, so I would like something that could block/intervene on apps outside of my browser.

    one sec App for Windows

    Hello One Sec Team,

    The One Sec app has helped me tremendously in managing my internet usage and reducing my digital addiction. Thank you for creating such an impactful tool!

    The only issue I face is that there is no Windows version of the app. A Windows version would be extremely helpful, as it’s very easy to access content on my PC if only my browsers are blocked. Video games and social media applications also have a strong influence on my usage.

    I would be very grateful if a One Sec app could be introduced for Windows, with a central control system on my phone that allows blocking everything in one place.

    Thank you for your time and for your excellent work!

        Hey, there’s actually a browser extension available for desktop, does this suit your needs?

    Calling attention to this. For apps like steam, xbox (on PC), ea play, individual games installed via one of these services, notification-heavy apps like outlook, youtube music, and itch (desktop app). There’s undoubtedly many more, but these are some that I would like this desktop app for. Also, I’d rather add one-sec for my browser (Edge) entirely like it is on mobile than select individual web pages to block. That too would require this.
