Configuration

After starting the utility you can access its parameters by clicking the system tray icon. There is an option to automatically launch Stretchy alongside the OS. Moreover, checkboxes for showing exercise tips during breaks and keeping track of the overall idle time are included.

Scheduling

This application allows users to choose between mini and long breaks. The duration of the pause can be adjusted by moving the corresponding slider in the Schedule tab. Additionally, it is possible to change the break frequency.
