• Allow the user to connect their Spotify account and play music through the app. The music will be toggled on and off for breaks. The music will default to lofi hip hop music - beats to study/relax to
• Allow the user to select custom study/break intervals (i.e. 50/10; 90/30)
• Allow the user to select different Spotify generated playlists. The playlists will be listed and based on genre radios.
