  How to Use:
  
  Set Your Timer: Choose any work interval (like 50 minutes) and a yellow countdown appears in your browser corner.
  
  Take Your Break: When time's up, your screen transforms into a calm meditation page for an immersive resting experience.
  
  Flexible Options: Need more time? Click "Need 3 Minutes" to quickly note where you left off. Ready now? Click "Start Meditation Now" to begin immediately.
  
  Smart Limits: To ensure you actually take breaks, we limit wrap-ups to two maximum. After that, it's really time to rest!
  
  Simple and Effective: Just set it, work focused, and let Break Now guide you to better work-life balance.
  
  Take real breaks. Reduce stress. Improve focus.

  You know you should take breaks. You just never actually do it.
  
  Break Now is a minimalist meditation timer that makes stopping easy — 
  and stopping real.
  
  Set a work interval, and a quiet countdown appears in your browser 
  corner. When time's up, your screen transforms into a full-screen 
  calm space designed to pull you away from the noise.
  
  How It Works:
  
  ⏱ Set Your Timer: Pick any work interval. A subtle blue countdown 
  tracks your focus time in the corner of your browser.
  
  🧘 Full-Screen Break Mode: When the timer ends, your screen becomes 
  a distraction-free meditation space — no pop-ups, no clutter.
  
  ⚡ Flexible Controls: Need 3 more minutes to wrap up? Hit "Need 3 
  Minutes." Ready now? Jump straight into your break.
  
  🔒 Built-In Accountability: Wrap-ups are limited to two max — because 
  real rest matters, not just the intention of it.
  
  No accounts. No tracking. No noise.
  Just work, breathe, repeat.
