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.）

notify you that the response is ready
