Stretch Clock

Stretch Clock is a desktop gadget that reminds PC users from time to time to take a break from work and stretch, by following simple steps shown in online videos. It comes packed with a few customization settings that can be easily figured out.

Straightforward interface

The interface is based on a small frame that you can move to any position on the screen with the help of the mouse cursor. Since this is a desktop gadget, Stretch Clock shares some options with most such widgets: it is possible to make the frame stay on top of other windows and to adjust its opacity level.

Easily configure settings

By default, the time between stretches is 60 minutes, and it can be changed to any other number of minutes. Moreover, Stretch Clock can be set to play an intro sound and ask for confirmation before stretching, while you can create a weekly schedule.
However, it is possible to stretch at any time by clicking a button, as well as to pause and reset the clock. The tool brings up a webpage in the default browser, showing a random video out of the many clips available on the developer's website; most of them last maximum 2 minutes.

Conclusion

The tool does not put a strain on PC performance, as it runs on low CPU and RAM. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and Stretch Clock did not hang or crash. Thanks to its intuitive layout and options, it can be handled by all users.
