Stretchly

It's quite easy to forget that a normal human being needs to move around and stretch their legs from time to time, especially when working on a computer. Stretchly comes with a simple solution for this issue. The application displays regular on-screen messages, to remind you to start stretching. It is a simple and straightforward application, but it can be of significant help in the long run.

Stretchly is absolutely free and it works on all popular Windows versions. Its components are distributed in a ZIP archive, so you only need to extract them and run an executable, rather than going through an installation process. The application can be launched immediately, without meeting any special requirements.

Running Stretchly on your computer is all you have to do. The application will remind you every few minutes through a message on your screen. A simple configurations menu can be brought up through the application's system tray icon. This menu is where you can change the interval at which the application should remind you, as well as the reminder's duration.

Besides Stretchly's timing, you can also change its color scheme and the sound it plays when displaying a reminder. The reminder itself is displayed on a large window, in the center of the screen. However, you can't say that it's intrusive. Your system won't be locked, so you'd be forced to take a break and you can also dismiss the message immediately.

Regardless of how simple and insignificant it may seem, Stretchly can be beneficial to your health in the long run.
