About ThinkBreak
ThinkBreak – Take a Break While AI Thinks
ThinkBreak is a Chrome / Edge browser extension designed to make waiting for AI responses less boring.
When you send a prompt to AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or Doubao, the AI often takes several seconds (or longer) to generate a response. Instead of staring at the screen while waiting, ThinkBreak automatically opens a short-break website. When the AI response is finished, the extension can automatically bring you back to the original AI tab or send you a notification that lets you return with one click.
This allows you to use your waiting time more efficiently and avoid idle screen time.
(To use notifications, please enable browser notification permissions in your computer’s system settings.)
Key Features
• Automatically detects when AI starts generating a response
• Opens a break website while waiting
• Automatically switches back when the response is complete
• Sends a notification when the response is ready
• Lets you return to the AI tab with one click from the notification

How It Works
1. Ask a question in an AI platform
2. When the AI begins generating a response, ThinkBreak detects the generating state
3. If the waiting time exceeds your configured threshold, a break website opens automatically
4. When the AI finishes responding, ThinkBreak can automatically return you to the AI tab or
notify you that the response is ready
5. If you receive a notification, you can click it to jump back to the original AI tab

All detection is performed locally within your browser.
