Break – Interrupt the Loop. Reclaim Focus. Break is a calm, always-available productivity side panel designed to help you interrupt unproductive patterns, take intentional breaks, and keep your thinking organized — without leaving your browser. It’s not another noisy productivity tool. It’s a pattern interrupt. What Break Does Break lives in Chrome’s side panel and gives you instant access to the tools you actually use throughout the day: Break Reminders Set up to three recurring break timers with custom messages like Drink Water, Stand Up, or Look Away.
