Stretchly

Stretchly is a free and open source cross-platform app with the goal of periodically reminding you to take breaks and rest when you are at the computer. At intervals you set, the program will display a full screen message with health and wellness related tips and messages.

Customize your break times

Before using Stretchly, it's best to review the wide range of options. Here you can choose how often you want your Mini Breaks and Long Breaks. It is recommended to have a Mini Break of between 20 seconds and one minute every ten, twenty or thirty minutes. On the other hand, Long Breaks should ideally take place every hour or ninety minutes, and last between 5 and 15 minutes. As a result, you will feel more rested and have better physical and mental health.

More options for your breaks

One of the most interesting options within Stretchly is Strict Mode. By default, the app allows you to skip any break with just one click. However, if you activate Strict Mode, you won't be able to skip it. With this mode, you can make sure that no matter what happens, no matter what you are doing, you get your rest. It may seem silly or unnecessary, but thanks to this feature you will always get a full break.

Make your PC time healthier

Download Stretchly if you work in front of the PC, especially if you work from home. Thanks to this simple app you will see reminders to stretch your legs, take a break, take a deep breath, and so on. What's more, you can customize the look of the interface and choose how long you want your breaks to last and how often you want them to be.
