touchgrass.fm,一个帮你放下电子设备的网站

1作者: softservo6 个月前
https://www.touchgrass.fm/ 背景:大约一个月前,我妻子远道而来的父母遭遇了一场可怕的车祸。所有人都活了下来,并且情况正在好转。但随之而来的是一系列情感、身体和后勤方面的挑战,将我的妻子和她的家人逼到了极限。 第一周,我们几乎寸步不离手机,联系家人、保险公司和空中救护车服务。我发现自己痴迷地查看手机,等待更新,发送空洞的消息,漫无目的地刷着信息流。我的屏幕使用时间达到了历史最高点。我清醒的16个小时里,有12个小时都在盯着屏幕,而不是陪伴我的妻子和她的父母。感觉我躲在手机后面。 我并没有特别容易上瘾的性格,但我不可否认地对手机上瘾。而这正是我最终需要解决这个问题的一周。 我尝试了苹果的屏幕使用时间功能和一些流行的屏幕时间管理应用程序,但发现这些屏蔽功能太容易绕过了。我也意识到,大多数应用程序(例如 YouTube)的用处和干扰性一样大,这取决于具体情况。我并不一定想减少使用手机:它是一个非常有用的工具,而且这些干扰有时也很有帮助。 我真正需要的是有意识地远离手机的时间。我构建了 touchgrass.fm,这是一个简单的方式来记录和激励这些远离手机的时间。它还没有完全完成(在几个小时的空闲时间里构建的),但它帮助我在医院探视、用餐和重要对话时保持专注。 我决定分享它,万一它能帮助其他人重新掌控自己,并在日常生活中更专注一些! 你在做什么(2025年6月):https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44416093#44427955 回复

https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.touchgrass.fm&#x2F;<p>Backstory: About one month ago while visiting us from overseas, my wife’s parents were in a terrible car accident. Everyone involved is alive and going to be okay. But what followed was a series of emotional, physical and logistical challenges that pushed my wife and her family to their limits.<p>For the first week we were practically glued to our phones, contacting family members, insurance companies and air ambulance services. I found myself obsessively checking my phone for updates, sending empty messages and mindlessly scrolling feeds. My screen time reached all time highs. I was spending 12 of my 16 waking hours staring at a screen instead of being there for my wife and her parents. It felt like I was hiding on my phone.<p>I don’t have a particularly addictive personality, but I am undeniably addicted to my phone. And this was the week I finally needed to deal with it.<p>I tried Apple Screen Time and a few popular screen time management apps, but found the blocks were too easy to bypass. I also realised that most apps (e.g. YouTube) were as useful as they were distracting depending on the context. I didn’t necessarily want to use my phone less: it’s an incredibly useful tool, and the distractions were sometimes helpful.<p>What I really needed was intentional stretches of time spent away from my phone. I built touchgrass.fm as a simple way to record and incentivize those stretches of time. It’s not quite finished (built in a few hours of downtime), but it helped me stay present during hospital visits, meals and important conversations. I decided to share it on the off chance it helps others get some control back and be a bit more present in their day to day lives!<p>What Are You Working On (June 2025): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=44416093#44427955 reply
