BreakLoop

BreakLoop interrupts procrastination at the moment it becomes a pattern.

BreakLoop is a behavioural intervention web application built for HudHack26 – “Break The Loop”.
Instead of rewarding productivity, BreakLoop detects repeated task avoidance and intervenes before procrastination becomes a habit.

The Problem

We noticed a common loop:

1. Add a task
   
2. Snooze or avoid it
   
3. Feel short-term relief
   
4. Repeat tomorrow
   

Most productivity tools allow unlimited postponement.
They track completion — but ignore avoidance patterns.

We asked:
What if we intervened at repeated failure instead of tracking success?

Core Features

🔥 Loop Break Mode

After 3 avoidances, a full-screen intervention activates.
Users must choose:

• Do It Now → 10-minute focus timer + auto-open task link
  
• Make It Smaller → Break task into a manageable step
  
• Consciously Drop It → Select a reason before archiving
  

There is no ignore option.

🚫 Distraction Blocking (Chrome Extension)

During Focus Mode:

• Social media sites are blocked
  
• The extension cannot be disabled
  
• Only completing or pausing the task unlocks access
  

This transforms intention into enforced discipline.

---

⏳ Deadline & Social Accountability

Each task includes:

• A deadline
  
• An uploaded accountability photo
  
• Friend email addresses
  

If the deadline passes:

• A warning is triggered
  
• An accountability email is sent
  
• The uploaded photo is delivered to selected friends
  

BreakLoop shifts motivation from internal guilt to external commitment.

Smart Task Linking

Optional task links (Canvas, GitHub, Notion, etc.)
Automatically open when Focus Mode starts — reducing friction between intention and action.
