On iOS, I've tried nearly everything, but here's what's lasted more than a few months.

1. A physical blocker like Brick (getbrick.app) and/or a Kitchen Timer Safe (KSafe).

2. One Sec app

I'll occasionally leave my phone at home and use only an Apple Watch with LTE.

These are the only flows that haven't become frustrating over time and have worked to cut screen time and addicted apps (or altogether).

One Sec broke my addiction to doomscrolling apps. The feature that makes you look at your face for two seconds when you open the app, while telling you that you last opened it a minute ago, is both hilarious and effective.

has anyone dug into whether one sec is safe (private offline on device as it states)? it requires access to accessibility settings, which means that it could be reading all of you cryptocurrency apps, passwords as well as two-factor authentication

I just needed to create shortcuts. I don’t remember needing to grant any further accessibility settings, but I don’t currently have it installed.
