What is stretchly?
Stretchly is a cross-platform desktop application that reminds computer users to take regular breaks. It helps prevent repetitive strain injuries, eye fatigue, and mental burnout by enforcing periodic pauses from screen time. The app runs in the system tray and displays customizable break windows with suggestions for stretches or relaxation.
Developers, knowledge workers, students, and anyone who spends long hours in front of a computer and wants to improve their ergonomic habits and productivity through structured breaks.
Developers choose Stretchly for its high customizability, cross-platform support, and non-intrusive design. Unlike simple timers, it offers advanced features like idle detection, Do Not Disturb integration, and a rich preferences system, all while being free and open-source.
