The most impactful update we’ve shipped for one sec:

With one sec 6.0 and the new big iOS update you no longer have to set up Shortcuts automations manually!

Simply tap on “Add Intervention” to automatically import the automation.

This makes one sec’s setup a one-step process, instead of a technical 10-step process.

And this was by far the biggest complaint we’ve heard over the years for you, our users.

Besides that, with this update one sec becomes better in every aspect:
- Big accessibility improvements (especially voice over)
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
- Liquid Glass design improvements

I’m really proud that we’re able to ship such a significant improvement for one sec alongside the big iOS update.

And I’m especially grateful that I got to work on this amazing update with the best team I could dream of!

Hope you’ll enjoy this update as much as we did working on it this summer :)
