Stretchly for Windows

What is Stretchly?

Stretchly runs in the system tray and interrupts computer work with timed break reminders. It suits people who want regular prompts to step away from the screen rather than watch a timer themselves. Mini breaks and longer breaks have separate schedules, with advance notifications and suggested activities in the break window.

The publisher documents a default 20-second Mini break every 10 minutes and a five-minute Long break every 30 minutes, after two Mini breaks. You can change the timing, switch between windowed and full-screen reminders, choose sounds and colors, and pause reminders while the computer is idle or Do Not Disturb is active. The tray menu gives access to preferences and break controls.

Most settings are available in Preferences, but some advanced adjustments require editing a JSON file after quitting Stretchly. The publisher warns that manually entered values can display incorrectly in the preferences interface. This entry links to the regular Windows EXE installer for version 1.22.1, not the separate portable or Microsoft Store package. The screenshots are publisher-supplied illustrations of the shared application interface; the Preferences image uses macOS-style window controls and is not a capture of this Windows release.
