Data, privacy, and limitations
XiaoQi is local-only. It does not connect to the internet, read what you type, or capture your screen.
Where your data lives
| Data | Location |
|---|---|
| Settings and stats | Local preferences, bundle identifier com.ziizko.macxiaoqi |
| Logs | ~/Library/Logs/小憩锁屏/app.log |
| Single-instance lock | ~/Library/Application Support/小憩锁屏/instance.lock |
Settings include work duration, rest duration, idle threshold, and launch at login. Stats include today’s completed breaks, streak, and skips. Logs include state changes, overlay events, watchdog events, skips, and errors.
What XiaoQi does not access
- No network requests, accounts, or analytics SDKs.
- No keystroke content. Activity detection uses the system idle time.
- No screen recording, camera, microphone, contacts, location, or Accessibility permission.
- No purchases or subscriptions in the current version.
Uninstall
- Quit XiaoQi from the menu bar.
- Turn off launch at login in Settings.
- Delete
小憩锁屏.app. - Run:
defaults delete com.ziizko.macxiaoqi
rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/小憩锁屏
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/小憩锁屏Known limitations
- Not a system lock. Force Quit, restart, and power off can bypass the overlay.
- Cmd+Tab can briefly switch away. XiaoQi pulls itself back within about a second, but it is not instant.
- Full-screen apps and multi-display hot-plug are not fully verified. The overlay is created per connected display; external-display hot-plug behavior still needs a real multi-screen test.
- The build is ad-hoc signed and not released. Distribution requires Developer ID signing and notarization.
- Sleep and lock behavior is limited. The rest countdown does not pause when the Mac sleeps or locks; a work stretch resets after ten minutes of sleep or lock.
- No system notifications in this version. The break is the overlay itself; pre-break notifications are planned for a later version.
- The interface is Chinese-only for now. This site documents the labels in English.
