Stretch Timer

Stretch Timer is a small software application developed specifically for helping you set up timers in order to remember to take a break from your computer, and rest your eyes and muscles. It comes in handy especially for users with RSI problems.

Drop it on pen drives

You can take advantage of the tool’s portability status and run it without having to go through an installation process. You may simply double-click on the executable file in order to gain access to the GUI.
In addition, you may save it on USB flash drives or other similar devices so you can carry it with you everywhere you go. The program can be opened straight from the storage device and without having to possess administrative privileges. It does not populate your Windows registry with extra entries so you may get rid of it with a simple deletion task of the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

Look for Stretch Timer in the system tray

You can find the application residing in your system tray. You can check out its configuration settings by right-clicking on the tray icon. The GUI looks minimalist and easy to work with so you are not going to spend a lot of time tweaking the dedicated parameters.

Take breaks from your computer

Stretch Timer offers you the possibility to check out the remaining time (in hours and minutes) until the next break, and stop or reset the timer with ease.
Several configuration settings are hidden under the hood for helping you set up the timer by specifying the number of hours and minutes, and automatically showing reminders at a custom number of minutes.
Other important options worth being mentioned enable you to enter a custom text message that is displayed when the time is up, reassign hotkeys for starting, stopping, or opening the timer, play sound notifications, test the audio files, and import custom songs (WAV file format).

Final observations

All things considered, Stretch Timer provides a simple and efficient software solution for helping you make sure you won’t forget to take breaks from your PC. It can be tweaked by rookies and professionals alike.
