one sec for neurodivergent founders
one sec is an app that adds a short pause before you open distracting apps.
Free planWhy it helps neurodivergent founders
It doesn't block apps. It asks you to take a breath first, which gives you a moment to choose instead of scrolling on autopilot.
How founders use it
- Add a pause before opening social media
- See how often you reach for your phone
- Break the scroll habit without strict rules
Alternatives to one sec
Open source, privacy-first, eco or free options, if one of those matters more to you.
