brainrot-break

A feed of pixel art mini-videos to scroll while Claude thinks.

When an answer from Claude takes more than a couple of seconds, a TikTok-style feed opens next to it: scroll, like, and the feed tells you when Claude is done. It plays in the Claude Code terminal and in the Claude desktop app, in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese or Italian. Everything is drawn locally: it uses no tokens and calls no model.

Try the feed in your browser: every video, playing as in the mod.

Install

At the prompt of a Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add BordyV/brainrot-break
/plugin install brainrot-break@brainrot-break

From a shell:

claude plugin marketplace add BordyV/brainrot-break
claude plugin install brainrot-break@brainrot-break

In the Claude desktop app, where /plugin doesn't run: click + next to the prompt box, then Plugins, Add marketplace with BordyV/brainrot-break, then Add plugin.

To update later: claude plugin update brainrot-break@brainrot-break, then /reload-plugins or a new session.

How it works

• Ask Claude something. If the answer takes more than ~2.5 s, the For you feed opens.
• When Claude has answered, the video dims and a card says ✓ Claude has answered, with what you watched while waiting. Keep scrolling or close it; it closes by itself after 15 s.
• A video can belong to several themes (Jenga is crafts and destruction). It shows as soon as one of its themes is ticked: Hide all then ticking robots brings every robot video.
• Kinds you like come back sooner, and kinds you skip in the first 2 s a little later (scroll back within 10 s and that skip is forgotten). Scroll back and a video picks up where you left it.

Controls

Action	Mouse	Keys*
Next / previous video	wheel, ▼ / ▲	j / k
Pause	click the video	space
Like	double-click the video, ♥	l
Comments	≡	m
Not interested (fewer videos like this one, Undo for 5 s)	⊘	n, then u to undo
Only this video's theme for now (click again or ✕ to stop)	the #hashtags at the end of the caption
Menu: themes, my likes, settings	··· at the top of the side column	t
Shortcuts	? under ···	h, or ? once the video has been clicked
Keep scrolling / close the end card	buttons	c / x

* Keys work once the feed holds the keyboard: ctrl+x tab gives it to the feed, Esc gives it back to the prompt. Once the video has been clicked, it takes the keys too.

Choose what you see

• ⊘ Not interested (n): fewer videos like this one, and a little fewer of its theme. It never hides anything: a kind you mark comes back every few rounds instead of every round. ⊘ Fewer "…" · Undo shows for 5 s under the caption (u).
• ··· menu (t), at the top of the side column, on the playing video:
  • Not interested, as ⊘;
  • Hide #theme: unticks this video's theme, so its videos stop coming unless another of their themes is ticked;
  • Choose my themes…: every theme with its number of videos, to switch on or off (one always stays on), Show all and Hide all (all but the playing video's, then switch on the ones you want);
  • My likes: the videos you liked, kept between sessions, to watch again;
  • Settings…: language, opening while Claude works, next video by itself;
  • Forget my "not interested": back to an even feed, likes kept.
