What is Stretch Break App?

Ergonomic support utility that regularly reminds you to take breaks from using your computer, similar to tools like Workrave and Safe Eyes.

With Stretch Break you can:

Get break reminders every 20 minutes
Automatically pause the break countdown when you're not using your computer
Automatically reset your break countdown when you've been away long enough
Mute break reminders for a period of time
Enable reading mode, where the break countdown doesn't pause while mouse and keyboard are idle

Stretch Break works best with its accompanying GNOME Shell extension installed, which will display remaining time in your system tray.
