把学习的时间,种成一只看得见的小手办。 选一个盲盒系列,写下你打算专注多久,然后把手机扣过去。你专注的每一分钟,盲盒都在长大:种子、发芽、鼓起花苞——专注结束的那一刻,它会开出一只立体小手办,带回你的展示柜。 专注完,拆一个盲盒。 三个系列、19 只手办,每个系列都藏着一只隐藏款。坐得越久,遇见隐藏款的机会越大;很久没开出隐藏款,也会有保底。盲盒只能靠专注获得,不能花钱抽。 集齐一整个场景。 每个系列都有自己的展示场景:初遇的小花园、萌宠的小院、秋之节气的田野。开出来的手办会站到属于它的位置上,集齐常规款场景点亮,连隐藏款一起集齐还有金边。 跟着节气开盒。 秋之节气系列跟着真实的节气走:现在是哪个节气,就更容易遇见它。 攒 3 只同款,解锁闪光版。 倾斜手机,闪光版会跟着反光。 中途走开,它会蔫。 但不会把你一整次的努力清零:还有一次浇水机会把它救回来。接电话、上厕所,用「暂停」就行,暂停不算惩罚。 五种白噪音,陪你坐下来。 细雨、海浪、麦浪风、灶火、虫鸣,或者干脆静音。专注过程中随时可以换,还可以带上一只手办陪你。 锁屏也能看见它。 开始之后,实时活动会把倒计时和正在长大的盲盒留在锁屏和灵动岛上。你不需要为了看一眼进度而解锁手机——那往往就是分心的开始。 看得见的坚持。 记录页有这七天的柱状图、连续天数和每一次收获的明细。数据只在你想看的时候才出现,不会在你专注的时候跳出来打扰你。 我们特意没有做的事: · 没有排行榜,不和任何人比 · 没有好友、没有动态、没有社交 · 没有推送通知,没有小红点 · 不需要注册,没有账号 所有记录只存在你这台设备上,不上传、不收集。 免费与买断: 初遇系列(5 只)免费,可以一直玩下去。萌宠小院和秋之节气需要一次买断解锁,没有订阅;以后新出的系列和新功能,买过的都不用再付钱。 适合谁: · 考研、考公、期末周需要长时间自习的人 · 用番茄钟坚持不下来,觉得计时器太冷的人 · 喜欢收集、喜欢盲盒手办的人 · 想要一点陪伴感,但不想被社交打扰的人 专注一次,拆一个盲盒。
