Why take short breaks

Long, uninterrupted stretches of screen time quietly build up physical tension and mental fatigue — tired eyes, a stiff neck, a foggy head. A short, deliberate break every so often resets that, and a 30-90 second break genuinely helps you come back sharper, not just rested.

The hardest part is usually just deciding WHAT to do with the 60 seconds you've given yourself. The Mental Break Spinner removes that decision — spin, and do whatever comes up.

How to use the Mental Break Spinner

  1. Open the Mental Break tab (it's selected by default).
  2. Click the wheel, or press Space/Enter, to spin.
  3. Follow the activity that comes up — a timer, step counter, or water tracker appears if relevant.
  4. Click "Done" when you've finished, or "Spin Again" to try something else.

How to make a custom wheel

  1. Switch to the Custom Spinner tab.
  2. Type your own options, one per line — or pick a ready-made preset from the dropdown.
  3. Adjust settings like spin duration, colour theme, or "remove winner after spin" if you're picking names one by one.
  4. Spin the wheel, and optionally save or share it for later.
