Browser Extension
ThinkBreak
Take a break while AI thinks. If a reply takes too long, the extension opens your chosen break-site tab and brings you back when the answer is ready.
Overview
ThinkBreak is a browser extension built around a simple idea: long AI response times do not need to trap you on a waiting screen. It turns those idle moments into intentional short breaks, then returns your attention when the reply is ready.

Problem / Idea
Waiting for AI responses often leads to low-value tab watching, distracted scrolling, or losing track of the original task entirely.
Solution
ThinkBreak watches for slow replies, opens a user-selected break site when the wait drags on, and restores focus once the answer arrives. The experience stays lightweight so the tool feels practical rather than disruptive.
