Stretchly overview

Stretchly is a cross-platform open source app that reminds you to take breaks when working on your computer

When a break starts, you can postpone it once for 2 minutes (Mini Breaks) or 5 minutes (Long Breaks). Then, after a specific time interval passes, you can skip the break. Both actions are available by clicking on the link at the bottom of window or by using the Ctrl/Cmd + X keyboard shortcut
Stretchly is monitoring your idle time, so when you are idle for 5 minutes, breaks will be reset until you return
Stretchly is also monitoring Do Not Disturb mode, so breaks are paused when DnD mode is On
Stretchly follows the theme of your system and is also available in dark mode

What's new in version 1.22.0

Windows installer now adds stretchly to PATH so CLI commands (e.g. stretchly pause) can be run from any terminal without specifying the full executable path.
Advanced option breakContentScreen to show break countdown/idea only on the primary, cursor, or a specific screen while other screens stay blanked.
Advanced option trayIconThemeSource (system, light, or dark) to set the tray icon's light or dark variant.
Advanced options monitorDndCheckInterval and naturalBreaksCheckInterval to tune how often Do Not Disturb and idle time are checked.

Tray icon now follows the light/dark theme automatically; the manual "Inverted Monochrome" option was removed.
Improved tray icons.
Reduced background polling for Do Not Disturb, natural breaks, and app exclusions to 2 seconds to lower energy usage (appExclusionsCheckInterval default raised from 1000 to 2000).
