About:
Stretchly is an open-source cross-platform desktop application that enforces the Pomodoro technique by scheduling regular micro-breaks and long breaks. It helps prevent repetitive strain injury (RSI) and burnout by reminding users to step away from their screens at customizable intervals. The app runs quietly in the system tray with configurable break durations, skip options, and strict modes to ensure compliance.
Key Features:
  • Customizable break intervals and durations
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • Strict mode to prevent skipping breaks
  • Micro-breaks and long breaks with educational tips
  • Offline-first, privacy-focused, no data collection
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing regular screen breaks for remote workers and developers
  • Preventing eye strain and RSI during long coding sessions
Alternatives:
  • Time Out – macOS-only, similar break reminders but less cross-platform
  • Pomodoro Timer – Often browser-based, less system-level enforcement
