Automations seem to be broken on the new iOS 26.6 version. Not only one sec is affected by this.
Our recommendation: If you’re actively using one sec, do not yet update to iOS 26.6.
We are already working closely with Apple on finding a solution and are hoping that an iOS 26.6.1 update can be provided asap!

New Indie App Collab:
I have partnered up with Nils’s app LENGO so you can now force yourself to learn vocabulary before you can open social media.
Nils is a fellow German indie app developer, he created LENGO, an app that helps you to learn new languages.
This summer, we met at the App Store Get Together in the new Apple offices in Berlin – and we had this idea to collaborate on a new feature together:

What if an app forced you to develop healthier habits instead of being delivered to the seduction of social media right away?
With update 3.4, one sec can now prompt you to journal before accessing social media first thing in the morning.
Enable the new special intervention in one sec → customize → Journaling.

3. Post it on Instagram or TikTok, and don’t forget to tag @o…

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
