Not Every Second

Your feeds can wait.

Not Every Second keeps the sites and apps that pull you in closed until you decide to open them. 30 minutes at a time, 6 times a day.

A day with Not Every Second

  1. A new day starts with 6 Unlocks. Yesterday's leftovers are gone.

    Unlocks left today: 6

  2. You open Instagram out of habit and get the Block Screen. You press Unlock, and every site on your list opens for 30 minutes.

  3. The 30 minutes are up and blocking comes back on its own.

    Unlocks left today: 5

  4. You add Reddit to your list. It's blocked right away.

  5. You remove X. It stays blocked until tomorrow, so an impulse can't undo it.

  6. You've used all 6 Unlocks. Until midnight, blocking holds and you can only add sites.

    Unlocks left today: 0

  7. Tomorrow starts with 6 new Unlocks, and X is off your list.

    Unlocks left today: 6

Wherever you reach for it

iPhone

Pick apps, categories, and websites with Apple's Screen Time picker. A blocked app shows a Block Screen that sends you to Not Every Second to unlock, and blocking comes back after 30 minutes even if you close the app.

iPhone · iOS 18 or later

Chrome

Blocks the sites you pick from YouTube, Instagram, X, Reddit, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok. A blocked site turns its tab into the Block Screen. Unlock there and you're back on the page you wanted. Your Block List follows your Chrome account to your other computers.

Between you and your device

There's no account and no server. Your Block List and Unlocks stay on your device. In Chrome, your Block List syncs through your own Chrome account, like your bookmarks.
