Features	7.5 The core function that One Sec uses to make users more productive is a pause before opening the website. When I open websites I have defined, such as Twitter, a gray page with a countdown appears. During this period, I was reminded that I didn't want to spend so much time on Twitter and asked myself whether this was intentional or just a reflex out of boredom. This worked very well for us in the test and there were no problems. It is also possible to adjust the delay individually. If you only need the reminder but don't want to be disturbed too much, you can set the timer to just one second, or several seconds if you prefer. Finally, a useful function is the analysis dashboard. This provides analyses of your surfing behavior, showing you at a glance how often you try to open these websites during the day. However, we would like to see more analysis options here. All in all, the functions are kept very simple; further options for time tracking would be an advantage here so that you don't need additional extensions. These functions are already available in the mobile app. One Sec is a good addition to existing time management extensions.	8.0 We like that it nails the essentials without pretending to do everything. You can capture tasks quickly, organize with simple lists or tags, add due dates and reminders, and attach short notes to keep context. It also syncs and works offline when needed. The flipside is clear: there are no advanced filters, templates, or automations, and integrations are minimal. If “fast basics” is your goal, it succeeds.
Performance	9.5 In our test, we did not notice any delays or slowdowns due to the extension. Regular updates are also released to improve performance and fix bugs.	8.8 It feels instant, which matters more than people admit. The pop-up opens quickly, typing and checking off tasks are immediate, and sync behaves reliably across sessions without hogging memory or slowing other tabs. Staying fast keeps you in flow—and that’s the real performance test for a to‑do tool. We never felt it getting in our way.
Design	8.0 The user interface is clean and minimalist, and this also applies to the setup and settings. The extension offers an effective use of visual elements for taking a break by displaying a preset screen with a countdown. There would be potential for improvement here if the screen could be customized.	8.2 The interface is clean, calm, and focused on the list. We noticed readable typography, sensible spacing, and a clear hierarchy that keeps controls out of the way. Keyboard navigation works well, and the UI feels snappy in both pop-up and full view. The minimalist approach avoids visual clutter without feeling bare. It looks and feels like a tool designed for momentum.
Value for Money	9.2 The browser extension is completely free of charge. However, you only get a small number of functions. For anyone who only needs the basic function, this is unbeatable value for money. OneSec also offers an app with additional functions. At $4.99/month or $49.99/year, it also has a good price-performance ratio.	9.0 As a free, lightweight checklist, it delivers real everyday value. There is a ceiling for power users, who may still want a pro task manager as needs grow. But as a companion list that stays out of your way, it punches above its (free) weight
Ease of Use	9.5 The installation process was quick and straightforward. This also includes the setup, which is very intuitive with clear step-by-step instructions. Everything is also well explained in the settings menu afterward, so everyone should be able to find their way around.	9.2 This is a tool you understand in a minute. We didn’t need a tour—adding, editing, reordering, and completing tasks are all immediately discoverable, and the few shortcuts are easy to remember. The daily flow of capture → prioritize → complete is frictionless, and it’s forgiving when you make quick edits or misclicks. If you value speed over setup, it shines.
Security & Privacy	9.5 Data usage is described transparently in the privacy policy, which places great value on user privacy. This is also reflected in the fact that the features already work with minimal authorizations so that not much private data needs to be tracked.	9.0 It keeps things modest, which often helps privacy by default. From our use, it appears to rely on browser sync with local storage offline and keeps permissions lean, avoiding unnecessary prompts. We’d still like clearer public documentation about data handling and retention. In practice, it benefits from the security of the browser’s sync, but more transparency would inspire extra confidence.
Conclusion	One Sec is a tool that encourages mindful browsing by introducing a pause every time you want to access a distracting website. Although it stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness, its limited functionality means that it should only be seen as a supplement in the area of time management. Overall, however, it is a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their online productivity.	If you want a simple, reliable checklist in your browser, To‑do List nails the basics. It’s fast, easy, and stays focused. The trade‑off is fewer power features. If you need advanced filters, templates, automation, or deep integrations, you may outgrow it. We’ll keep it for small personal lists and quick captures. For complex projects, we’d still choose a fuller task manager. As a focused browser to‑do, it’s a solid pick.
