Floe vs one sec
one sec puts a pause, such as a deep breath, between you and a distracting app. Floe also stops you at the door of an app on iPhone, and adds the day plan and focus clock around it.

Looking for a one sec alternative?
If one sec’s pause before an app works for you, Floe asks first on iPhone too, with a daily number of breaks, and builds a day plan and a focus timer around it, so you know what to go back to. one sec is out now; Floe launches on 1 December 2026.

How we compared
We read one sec’s own website and wrote down only what it states. Where it does not say, the table says “not shown on their site”; that does not mean the app lacks it. We did not test one sec, and we give no ratings. Prices change and differ by country, so check their store listing. Floe’s column describes the app as built today, before release.
