Stretchly has recently released version 1.18.0 of its open-source application designed to encourage users to take regular breaks from their computers. Recognizing the importance of taking breaks for eye health and physical well-being, Stretchly serves as a reminder tool that operates from the system tray, allowing users to manage their break schedule easily.
Users can access various functions by right-clicking on the Stretchly icon, including options for accessing information about the app, skipping to the next break, pausing, resetting breaks, adjusting settings, and configuring the app to start at login. However, the "Your Stretchly" feature is currently inactive.
The app's settings allow users to customize break intervals according to their preferences. By default, Stretchly prompts users to take a 20-second microbreak every 10 minutes, followed by a longer 5-minute break after two microbreaks. Users have the flexibility to modify these time settings or disable breaks altogether.
Additional customization options include selecting audio alerts and color schemes, as well as the ability to set breaks to full screen, display break ideas, and receive notifications before breaks commence. Users also have the option to skip breaks if desired when the reminder window appears.
Overall, Stretchly stands out as a highly customizable ergonomics application, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to improve their work habits and maintain better health while using computers. With its user-friendly interface and thoughtful features, Stretchly encourages users to prioritize their well-being during screen time. As the app continues to evolve, future updates may introduce even more functionalities to enhance user experience and promote healthier computing habits
