one sec | Website Blocker, Focus, Screen Time

“one sec” forces you to take a deep breath and pause whenever you open one of the configured websites (Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, …).

Features & Capabilities

one sec is a privacy-focused Chrome extension designed to help you regain control over your digital habits by forcing a mindful pause whenever you open distracting websites such as Reddit, YouTube, or Twitter.

It protects your privacy with zero tracking, no accounts, and offline data storage—ensuring your information stays secure. Available also for Firefox, iPhone, iPad, and Android, one sec provides a comprehensive solution to manage screen time and cultivate mindfulness online.

User Reviews

Reviewers repeatedly cite one sec as an effective tool for cutting time on distractions, especially YouTube, and appreciate its cross-device usability (phone and computer) and ability to pair with LeechBlock. The blocking mechanism with a pause-and-breathe flow and its clean, intuitive UI are praised for a calm focus aid without slowing browsing. The main caveat across multiple reviews is cost: many features are paid, with some users suggesting free alternatives or desiring more customization.
Pros

  • Works across devices (phone and computer) and can be used with LeechBlock for stronger blocking.
  • Smooth, non-intrusive performance that doesn’t slow down pages or interfere with browsing.
  • Elegant UI with a pause-and-breathe blocking approach.
  • Intuitive and easy to use.
Cons
  • Paid features and overall cost may deter some users; several reviews compare it unfavorably to free or cheaper options like LeechBlock.
