  description

  BreathBreak quietly tracks how long you spend on social media and gently 
  interrupts you with guided breathing exercises — not to stop you, but to 
  give you a conscious moment before continuing.
  
  5 levels, progressively deeper:
  • Level 1 (5 min) — Box breath, 30 seconds
  • Level 2 (15 min) — 4-7-8 breath + reflection prompt  
  • Level 3 (25 min) — 4-7-8 + body scan
  • Level 4 (40 min) — 4-7-8 × 3 rounds + reflection
  • Level 5 (60 min) — Full presence: 4-7-8 × 5 rounds + body scan + reflection
  
  You can always skip. BreathBreak doesn't block anything — it just asks you 
  to breathe first.t

  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.
