A pause slows you down.
A block stops you.

One Sec slows you down. Open a distracting app and it drops in a breathing screen first, a few seconds of friction meant to make you reconsider. If you still want in after that, you get in. It's a pause, not a wall, and a pause can always be clicked through.

Fella is a wall. The app is locked, full stop, not delayed. The only way in is the one 5-minute unlock Fella gives you each day, and once you've used it, the lock comes back on its own. No deciding each time whether today is the day you keep scrolling.

Both run on Apple's own Screen Time framework, so if gentle friction stopped working for you, the fix isn't a longer pause. It's removing the decision entirely. Fella runs $9.99 a month or $34.99 a year, with a 3-day free trial to feel the difference.

No way to talk yourself in. A pause can be clicked through, breathed past, dismissed without a second thought. A block can't be reasoned with. The app simply isn't there, no matter how convincing the excuse sounds at 11pm.

One unlock, not unlimited pauses. Fella caps you at a single 5-minute window a day, and it doesn't reset because you asked nicely. No "just one more pause" loop, no quiet renegotiation every time the urge comes back.

Built for people past the mindfulness stage. If gentle reminders already failed you once, they'll fail you again. Fella skips the nudge and removes the choice entirely, so willpower stops being the thing standing between you and your phone.
