人生是一张有限的纸。
每过一天,纸上就多一个点;
每完成一事,纸上就多一道痕。
但纸总会用完,时间从不回头。 「时光印记」是一款为ADHD与时间感知者设计的时间可视化工具。
我们不做复杂的管理,只做温柔的提醒——
通过直观的点、线、进度与小组件,
将抽象的时间变成看得见的痕迹,
帮助你感知它的流逝、把握当下的力量。 【为什么我们需要“看见”时间?】
对ADHD来说,时间常常是“隐形”的。
我们容易陷入时间盲区,或是被碎片淹没。
「时光印记」用温和的视觉反馈,
为你建立时间的地标与进度的锚点,
让每一天、每一周、每一段任务——
甚至整个生命的进度,
都清晰呈现在你的桌面上。 【核心特性】
• 多维度时间感知 • 以“点”为刻度:直观展示天、周、月、年的流逝 • 生命进度条:如果人生是一张纸,你已使用了多少? • 任务进度可视化:不只是完成,更是看见自己前进的轨迹 • 丰富的小组件生态 • 10+款精心设计的桌面小组件,从不同角度呈现时间 • 支持自定义样式:简约点阵、诗意进度、数字时钟…… • 横屏模式可用作桌面时钟,让时间始终在眼前 • ADHD友好设计 • 无压力提醒:不制造焦虑,只提供平静的感知 • 视觉聚焦:用图形与颜色降低认知负荷,增强时间实感 • 当下提示:弱干扰、强提醒,帮你回到此时此刻 【设计哲学】
我们不鼓励“压榨时间”,而是倡导“感知时间”。
每一个点,都是你活过的一刻;
每一段进度,都是你走过的路。
时间不必追赶,但应当被看见、被珍惜。 人生苦短,愿你看见时光,更看见自己。
—— 让时间,留下印记。 如果您有任何疑问或者建议,可以联系我们 邮箱:1056709274@qq.com 微信号:wjrrjw 备案号:闽ICP备2025125092号 Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ذث
