stretchly

Very good application. Breaks are configurable. Tried several apps. This one is the best so far. Wishes for developers:

1. show not only text during microbreaks but images as well - it's much easier to see a picture rather than concentrating on a text
2. appear window slowly - I don't like interruptions so have disabled microbreak notifications. But when you are busy it's obstructing when window appears right when you do something, e.g. quickly typing text.

If you are looking for a very light weight application that does all the basic requirements, you might want to try our product. It offers micro breaks, breaks, sound and visual reminder and stretch suggestions all in a minimalistic appearance.

It's so simple and does exactly what I want - force me to take a break. I found that I have to use strict mode, but others will appreciate the option to not use it.

I also like that if I'm in the middle of typing I can still type although I can barely see - this allows me to not stop in the middle of a thought, and also not have to dismiss the break.

I wish there was a phone version!

Stretchly is an awesome app and most of the things are easily configurable. The settings area is very clean and intuitive. It automatically adapts to the system's appearance (dark/light mode).

stretchly is free and open source, and also lets you fairly easily customise the messages that come up in breaks, to target particular stretches etc that are helpful for you

It helps me to avoid long-time sitting

It's the only one I like and managed to keep for several months now.
