Take a Break Button

Take a Break Button is a free browser tool for choosing a short, quiet pause. The homepage opens random calm scenes, including koi, aurora, stars, clouds and ripples. A separate box-breathing timer follows four-second inhale, hold, exhale and hold phases, with one-, three-, five- or ten-minute sessions. The site works on mobile, requires no login and does not autoplay sound. Its guides also distinguish watching a calm animation from taking a break away from a screen.
