Description and use

<p><em>My entry for the Hacktoberfest 2026 Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend</em></p> <h2> The problem </h2> <p>My friends and I were talking about breaks. Someone takes a 10 minute break and it turns into an hour. Some of us end up scrolling mindlessly, some play games, some just sit there doing nothing.</p> <p>The break itself was never the problem. After studying, your brain is tired, and it tries to weigh every option it has. Scrolling wins because it is the only option that needs no decision.</p> <p>We didn't want to quit our phones. We wanted something that would just tell us what to
