ZenTab vs one sec

Where one sec is better

- A gentle, research-backed pause that's easy to keep on for years.
- One pro purchase covers your phone and your computer.
Where ZenTab is better
- $10 once versus $19.99 a year or $99.99 lifetime.
- The free plan covers 10 sites, not one.
- Intent Mode asks how long you need a site and closes it when time is up, instead of only pausing at the door.
- Feed Eraser, a focus timer, ambience and a streak in the same extension.

Frequently asked questions
How much does one sec cost?
When we checked, one sec pro was $3.99 a month, $19.99 a year or $99.99 lifetime in the US, with lower prices in some regions and a free version for one app or site.
Is ZenTab's Intent Mode like one sec?
Same idea, different ending. one sec makes you pause before a site opens. ZenTab asks how long you need it (5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes), shows a countdown on the page, and closes the site when time is up.
Can I use one sec on my phone and ZenTab on my computer?
Yes, and it's a good pairing: one sec for phone apps, ZenTab for Chrome. Avoid adding the same site to both on your computer, or you'll get two interruptions.
