彩虹屏幕锁 · Pause · 好好用机 你有没有过这样的瞬间——手指还没决定要做什么,屏幕已经亮了;抬头才发现刚才那 20 分钟不知道去哪了。彩虹屏幕锁 不打算替你戒掉手机,它只想在这些"惯性打开"的瞬间轻轻拦一下,让你把它变成一次有意图的选择。 彩虹屏幕锁 把屏幕时间、专注计时、意图确认、睡前守护、步行提醒、情绪打卡、屏幕节食和每周复盘放在同一个温和的界面里。你不用逼自己"少用手机",只需要一次一次地问自己:这次打开,是我真的想要,还是习惯性动作? 今天先暂停一下 打开 App 就是"今日"仪表盘:一个圆环显示你离今日目标还差多少、拿起了多少次手机、几点最容易走神。下面是三到五个可执行的小建议——不是空洞的鸡汤,而是像"距离屏幕上限还有 40 分钟"、"你已经连续用了 35 分钟,先起身走两步"这样的当下动作。年热力图让你看见自己坚持了多少天,不追求满勤,也不焦虑漏掉的那几格。 专注盾牌:真的把分心 App 收起来 5 到 100 分钟自由调整,配 25/45/60 分钟的常用预设。你可以选择在这段时间里被暂时收起的 App、分类,甚至具体网站——不是提醒你别打开,而是让它们在专注期间根本无法进入。想切歌、想听雨声?内置了雨声、咖啡馆、白噪音、篝火等环境音,音量与背景播放独立。专注中的实时活动会显示在锁屏和灵动岛,让你在放下手机之后仍然知道"还有 18 分钟"。专注结束还会有一次可选的质量小问卷,几秒钟就能记录这次的状态。 意图确认:给冲动 60 秒缓冲 对你标记为"容易上头"的 App,彩虹屏幕锁 会在你打开时先弹出一小步:写下这次打开的目的,比如"回复妈妈的消息"。写完之后,可以选择"有意图 · 打开 60 秒"或"算了 · 先放下"。60 秒不是惩罚,是一个让你完成目的就退出的时长。这一步不改变系统,但会明显减少那种"打开了才想起来自己要干嘛"的循环。 屏幕节食:7 天,慢慢来 与其一刀切限制屏幕时间,不如从三个更小的维度慢慢减:总时长、晨间第一次拿起、每日拿起次数。选一个 7 天挑战,彩虹屏幕锁 会记录你的进度圆点,让你看到"昨天比前天少 12 分钟"这种真实变化。不用打卡不用付费墙,中途放弃也不会有羞耻提示。 睡前守护:把手机交给夜晚 设定一个守护时段,比如 22:30 到 07:00,Pause 会在时段内自动收起你选择的睡前分心 App,减少"再刷五分钟就睡"的循环。如果你允许,Pause 会读取"健康"里已有的睡眠记录,只用于展示昨晚睡了多久、什么时候上床——不写入健康数据,不做医疗判断。 步行提醒 & 位置自动化(都可选) 走路时收到步行提醒,让你把注意力还给路面;到了公司、图书馆或健身房自动进入专注状态。位置自动化完全可选,什么时候关都行。 周报洞察:不只是数字 每周一份复盘:本周屏幕时间、分类占比、专注总时长、睡眠线索、情绪打卡的趋势。在支持 Apple Intelligence 的设备上,彩虹屏幕锁 会用设备端模型生成一段个性化的观察文字,不上传任何数据。如果设备不支持,普通版报告依然完整可用。 不用打开 App,也能开始 主屏小组件显示今日进度和一键开始;控制中心按钮一按进入专注;Siri 与快捷指令可以让你说"开始 25 分钟专注"就直接启动;Live Activity 让专注状态跟你一起从锁屏走到灵动岛。你甚至可以给不同 App 设置各自的规则,比如"社交类每次最多 5 分钟,之后需要重新意图确认"。 主要功能一览 • 今日仪表盘:屏幕时间、拿起次数、今日目标、当下建议 • 专注盾牌:5–100 分钟专注,暂时收起 App / 分类 / 网站 • 环境音:雨声、咖啡馆、白噪音、篝火等,专注时可后台播放 • 意图确认:打开前先写目的,60 秒有意识使用 • 屏幕节食:7 天挑战,减总时长 / 晨间拿起 / 拿起次数 • 睡前守护:夜间自动锁定,可复盘"健康"里的睡眠记录 • 情绪打卡:一天几秒,看看情绪与用机的关系 • 步行提醒 & 位置自动化:都是可选授权 • 周报洞察:分类、专注、睡眠一起复盘,AI 洞察在支持设备上端侧生成 • 番茄钟、任务清单:把想做的事写下来,配合专注一起完成 • 小组件、控制中心、快捷指令、实时活动:不打开 App 也能暂停 你决定,我不评判 彩虹屏幕锁 不会替你做激进限制,也不会用羞耻感推动改变。所有屏幕时间、健康、运动、位置、通知权限都由你主动授权,任何一项都可以在 App 内随时关闭。它更像一个温和的提醒:先暂停一下,再决定要不要继续。
