## Description

<strong>Stop Mindless Scrolling. Reclaim Your Focus.</strong>

You know the feeling. You open your socials "just for a second" and suddenly 2 hours have vanished.

Break the Loop puts you back in control.

<strong>What It Does:</strong>

Every time you visit a time-sink website, a calming breathing screen appears. You get 5 seconds to pause, breathe, and ask yourself: "Do I really want to be here right now?"

Then choose: Continue mindfully, or close the tab and reclaim your focus &amp; time.

If you need that dopamine rush and decide to scroll for a bit, that's okay. Our extension will send you nice reminders about the time you spent scrolling.

<strong>Why It Works:</strong>
<ul><li>Instant Awareness: Catches you before the scroll begins.</li><li>No Willpower Required: The extension does the heavy lifting.</li><li>Fully Customizable: Choose which sites trigger the pauses.</li><li>Keep track of your time even when you decide to scroll for a bit.</li><li>Privacy First: Zero data collection, everything stays in your browser.</li></ul>
