Chivvy 3.2

Sleep gate / 睡眠守门

• Enforcement, not just a reminder: set a bedtime (23:30 by default). Five minutes before, a popup warns you; at bedtime a ten-second countdown appears — and the Mac goes to sleep.
  不止提醒，还会执行：设一个就寝时间（默认 23:30），提前 5 分钟弹窗预告，到点弹 10 秒倒计时，然后电脑真的休眠。
• One escape per night: "Not sleeping tonight" on the countdown card. Once used — or once the Mac slept — the gate stays quiet until tomorrow.
  每晚一次「今晚不休眠」逃生口；用过或睡过之后，当晚不再重复。
• Asleep at bedtime? The gate still fires within 10 minutes of waking; later wakes and the next morning never trigger it.
  就寝时电脑在睡眠，10 分钟内唤醒仍会补执行；更晚唤醒或第二天开盖不会触发。
• Turning the gate on, or moving the bedtime, after it already passed never sleeps the Mac on the spot.
  事后打开开关或修改时间不会追溯触发当晚的休眠。
• Toggle it and change the bedtime right from the menu bar. Off by default; works while Chivvy runs.
  菜单栏可以直接开关、修改就寝时间。默认关闭，仅在 Chivvy 运行时生效。

Your reminders and settings carry over. / 原有的提醒和设置都会保留。

Chivvy 3.1

One-time reminders / 一次性提醒

• Once / 仅一次: a reminder can now go off once, on a date and time you pick. It's removed from the list after it rings.
  提醒可以设成「仅一次」：指定日期和时间，响过之后自动从列表移除。
• Voice / 语音: just a time or a day ("7点钟提醒我睡觉", "明天下午三点开会", "周五下午三点交周报") adds a one-time reminder right away, with undo. Without 上午 / 下午, the nearest such time is used.
  只说时刻或某一天，会直接添加一次性提醒，可以撤销；没说上午还是下午时，取最近的那个时间。
• More dates / 更多日期说法: 后天, 今晚, 10月3号, 十月三号, 5号, 下个月3号, 下周一, 下下周一, 下周末.
• Sentences with a repeat word (每天, 工作日, 每周五…) still make a repeating reminder. A date that may be misheard, or a time that has passed, opens a card for you to check.
  带「每天 / 工作日 / 每周X」等重复词的仍是重复提醒；日期可能没听准或时间已过时，会弹出卡片让你核对。
• The sidebar page "Daily reminders" is now "Reminders". / 侧栏「每日提醒」改名为「提醒」。
• Fixed: "钟" from "7点钟" no longer ends up in the note. / 修复"7点钟"的"钟"混进备注。
