Core features
Everything you need to sit less.
Up2Stretch runs quietly in your menu bar and handles the rest — no configuration required to get started.
Full-screen break overlay
When it's time to move, a full-screen overlay appears across all monitors with a visible countdown. Hard to ignore, easy to dismiss once you're ready.
Smart pause detection
Up2Stretch can detect screen sleep and screen lock, automatically pausing the timer so you're not prompted the moment you return to your desk.
Today's work and break summary
See how many breaks you've taken and how long you've been working. A small nudge toward building a healthier work pattern.
Up2Stretch Pro
Full control over your break rhythm.
Pro unlocks custom intervals, idle detection, and local habit reports — for people who want to go deeper.
Any work interval
Set a custom work interval in minutes instead of choosing from presets. Built for people with specific focus routines.
Idle detection
Up2Stretch pauses the timer when your keyboard and mouse have been idle for a set duration — useful for reading, watching, or stepping away.
Local habit reports
7-day, 30-day, and yearly summaries of work time and break frequency — all stored locally on your Mac.
