version 3.0
posted on 2022-04-05
Apr 5, 2022 Version 3.0
I’ve been working hard for the last 10 weeks on this update for one sec.
Indeed, there have been so many improvements that I decided to jump to the next major version: one sec 3.0 is here!
NEW APP ICON
To celebrate the launch of this big update, we’ve designed a new app icon for one sec: showcasing the brief moment of reflection of your habits, disrupting your app usage patterns.
We’re now making use of the new gradient in the app icon throughout the app as well – and added a new primary color for buttons and highlights.
NEW EXERCISES
- Rotate Phone: very annoying, because you have to physically rotate your device three times in order to unlock the app. My idea is also, that additional senses (using your hands, haptics) makes you more aware and helps to disrupt habits.
- Black screen: Fades out into black, and takes some time to come back to let you continue into the app.
- Minimal breathing: Reduces colors, optimized for dark mode.
NEW STATISTICS
- Much improved app stats page.
- You have now a better overview about your progress.
- one sec now shows how much time it has already saved you.
- Prediction for how much time you’ll save per year (at your current pace).
NEW: HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES
Get concrete and actionable healthy alternatives when opening social media apps:
- Add sports, hobbies, and well-being activities.
- Add close friends and family contacts to get suggestions to call or text them.
- Add photo albums to get suggestions to take a look at nice memories and pictures of loved ones.
- Get reading suggestions from one sec‘s reading list.
- Connect one sec with your calendar and reminders to help you get more structured.
- Get suggestions for good apps, such as eBook readers, podcasts, music, yoga, meditation.
NEW: MORNING COUNTDOWN
one sec won’t let you access configured apps directly after waking up (integrates with HealthKit).
ADVANCED SCHEDULING
- you can now change one sec’s schedule for each weekday.
- New Siri Shortcut for Focus Mode.
REFINED DESIGN
- Restructured + regrouped settings panel (incl. privacy + data tab).
