yixi

Self-hosted 'pause before opening' app that adds a ten-second breathing prompt to distracting apps.

Webfree

yixi is a self-hosted alternative to the One Sec app, built as a web page instead of a native iPhone app and running entirely on Cloudflare's free tier. Before a distracting app opens, it shows a page asking the user to breathe for ten seconds, then offers to cancel or continue, keeping a log of the choice. It also includes a simple daily goals view with a streak tracker. It's aimed at people who want a moment of friction before opening apps they compulsively check.
