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.
