timed intervention lock (critical) for iOS

Feature Request🍏 iOS

For iOS

After I start an intervention lock, it should stay active for the full selected duration with no exceptions.

• Every access attempt during the lock must require the intervention

• The app must not allow normal use until the entire lock period ends

• Only after it ends should the app ask again for usage time

Currently, if I return shortly after leaving, the app sometimes lets me in without enforcing the intervention. This weakens the restriction. The lock should remain strict for the full duration.

    Prevent Preview of Target App Before Intervention

    I would like to on ios a way to make the shortcut work faster so you can not see the target app for a second prior to intervention. A suggestion is to make it like the re-intervention where it automatically says it is blocked and redirects you to shortcuts app to complete the intervention which removes the lag time and preview of target app

      Hi there, thanks for your feedback! We are continuously working on making the intervention snappier – but there are many factors that can make your intervention not hit as fast as we would like to (device, OS, etc).

      We do have a workaround for this on our Tutorial Site with exact the same title , maybe you want to give it a try?

    Hi there, we published this feature in beta a while ago!

    Lock Target App during Intervention [BETA]

    Prevents cheating around the intervention mechanism. You can set up one sec so that opening a target app shields the target app completely – and only becomes usable again after intervention has been completed.

    1. Navigate to one sec's Customize Tab, tap Cheat Lock and go to Lock Target App during Intervention.

    2. Toggle on "Lock Target App During Intervention "

    3. In the chapter "Apps": Tap on the app you want to connect -> Connect... -> and Select/search the app you want to connect.
