Kill the innovation killer: social media

The truth is, most of your employees don’t even enjoy wasting time on social media. 

Social media apps do anything to bind users’ attention:

  • more eye-ball-time
  • = more ads shown
  • = $$$

Building addictive products is the best shortcut to maximize attention-based business models. What it does to users’ (mental) health doesn’t matter to them.

But it should matter to you:

Employees’ (mental) health is the foundation of great creative work and productivity.

Incredible focus and mental health gains starting at 0.19€ per employee per month.

100% Private, on-device

one sec handles all user-data with greatest care: there is no server collecting user data or accounts required. I earn money selling in-app-puchases, not users’ data.

Intrinsic support

Most employees want to reduce time spent on social media but fail at it due to the sophisticated algorithms developed by the best psychologists in silicon valley. And one sec fights that problem at it’s root: breaking the dopamine-feedback-cycle of social media.

Personalized

Each team member has their own apps and distractions on their smartphone: most popular apps and websites are supported out-of-the-box, custom ones can be added as well.
On top of that, there are countless customization options for the intervention itself.

Tangible results

After using one sec for a couple of weeks, users can see how much time they have saved with one sec. In my case, I save two full weeks every year by spending way less time on Instagram and Twitter.
