A lightweight application that makes sure you take a break from working on your PC by sending you notifications at custom intervals

stretchly is a small and intuitive application designed to remind you to take a break at regular intervals from working in front of your computer.

Once you launch the app it will automatically start to time your work and break intervals. It runs in the system tray so it won’t bother you while you’re using your PC.

The timer can be paused by right-clicking the system train icon. When stretchly sends notifications they’ll be displayed on top of all other windows and you can dismiss it at any moment.

Furthermore, the application will provide useful health advice and various exercises you can try during your breaks. Speaking of, users can define how long should the breaks and microbreaks last, as well as their frequency.

Once the break period comes to an end, stretchly will play a sound and you can customize it from the list of built-in audio files.
