BreathBreak — Mindful Scrolling

Turns doom scrolling into breathing breaks. The longer you scroll, the deeper the reset.

BreathBreak watches how long you've been scrolling on social media — and when it's time, it gently interrupts with a breathing exercise before handing you back control. No judgment. No lecture. Just a pause. ────────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ────────────────────────────── After 8 minutes of active scrolling, your feed softly blurs and a breathing exercise begins. The longer the session, the deeper the practice: 🌬 8 min — Quick Reset: Box breath (4-4-4-4) 🌬 18 min — Settle: 4-7-8 breath + a reflection prompt 🌬 30 min — Body Scan: Guided attention through your body 🌬 45 min — Deep Reset: Extended breathwork + reflection 🌬 60 min — Full Presence: The complete experience ────────────────────────────── WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT ────────────────────────────── → Proportional — the intervention matches how long you've been gone → Private — zero data collection, no accounts, no network calls. Everything stays on your device. → Not a blocker — BreathBreak doesn't stop you from scrolling. It just makes sure you took a breath first. ────────────────────────────── YOUR DATA ────────────────────────────── BreathBreak stores everything locally using Chrome's built-in storage. No servers.
