Summary

L’application “one sec” aide à réduire l’utilisation inconsciente des réseaux sociaux en obligeant l’utilisateur à réfléchir avant d’ouvrir des applications. Des études montrent qu’elle peut réduire le temps passé sur les réseaux sociaux de 57 % et améliorer la satisfaction de la vie. L’application fonctionne en créant une pause qui permet à l’utilisateur de décider s’il souhaite vraiment passer du temps sur les réseaux sociaux ou s’il s’agit d’une impulsion due à l’ennui. En plus de bloquer l’accès durant les sessions de concentration, “one sec” propose des alternatives saines et suit les progrès de l’utilisateur grâce à des visualisations de données. Elle ne collecte pas de données personnelles, garantissant ainsi la confidentialité. La configuration est gratuite et nécessite quelques minutes seulement.
