    Bypass intervention when Urgent use needed

    I use One Sec for WhatsApp. I have many chats and distractions on WhatsApp that I would like to limit my usage on, but are there are also times that I need to respond or text someone urgently. It would be tremendously useful if there was a preset number, per app maybe, of times that I could skip the intervention and go straight to the app in case of emergency

    Add a global pause button

    While I'm driving, I quickly need to access WhatsApp and YouTube for work related stuff but there's no global pause option in the app. Need it as a pause timer during emergency. It's a hassle to delete and re setup the whole thing again and again. Please please work on it. I hate the fact that there's no global pause button

      Hi @V Abhishek , thanks for getting in touch!

      There are several ways that you could use to access the apps you need when you need it:

      • Use Focus Filters: With iOS Focus Mode and one sec’s integration into it, you can adjust the behavior of one sec, so certain apps are not intervened or even completely blocked while being in that Focus Mode (for example “Work”. I wrote some time a ago a blog article for our tips article about it – maybe this helps? https://one-sec.app/de/blog/focus-mode-focus-filter/

      • Intervention Scheduling: You can also decide when to be intervened and when not. If you have fixed working times, this could be the solution for you. https://tutorials.one-sec.app/en/articles/3311554

      • Or just go to: one sec –> Overview -> Target App -> Customize --> Intervention → Run one sec for Instagram → Pause the Intervention for …. to pause one sec for a day, until the weekend or forever.

      Hope that helps

      – Lucas

    Hi @uday lal das , thanks for your feature request!

    Could you elaborate on what should be paused? How do you imagine the feature to work and what would it help for your use case?

      For studying i use one sec ,but when i am doing multi tasking the app shows interuuption every time i switch and hence for i want one sec to add option of pause so that i can use my phone for productivity like adding one sec will not work for 30 monutes and after 30 minutes it will again start .
