背景故事:大约一个月前,我妻子的父母从海外探访时遭遇了一场严重的车祸。所有相关人员都活着,并且会没事。但随之而来的是一系列情感、身体和后勤上的挑战,令我妻子和她的家人感到极限疲惫。 在最初的一周,我们几乎都在盯着手机,联系家人、保险公司和空中救护服务。我发现自己不断地查看手机以获取更新,发送空洞的消息,毫无目的地刷着信息流。我的屏幕使用时间达到了历史新高。我在16个清醒小时中有12个小时都在盯着屏幕,而不是陪伴我的妻子和她的父母。感觉就像是躲在手机后面。 我并没有特别上瘾的性格,但我无可否认地对手机上瘾。而这正是我终于需要面对的一周。 我尝试了苹果的屏幕时间功能和一些流行的屏幕时间管理应用,但发现这些限制太容易绕过。我也意识到,大多数应用(例如YouTube)在不同情况下既有用又分散注意力。我并不一定想减少使用手机:它是一个非常有用的工具,而这些干扰有时也很有帮助。 我真正需要的是有意识地抽出一段时间远离手机。我建立了touchgrass.fm,这是一个简单的方法来记录和激励这些时间段。虽然它还没有完全完成(是在几小时的空闲时间里搭建的),但它帮助我在医院探视、用餐和重要对话时保持专注。我决定分享这个,希望它能帮助其他人重新掌控生活,变得更加专注于日常生活! 你在做什么(2025年6月):https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44416093#44427955

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
