How to play

  1. Set your work interval in minutes and tap Start — the corner ring counts down quietly while you work.
  2. When the interval ends, a full-screen sequence of four full-body stretches appears automatically, each with its own hold countdown and a soft chime when that hold finishes.
  3. The stretches are drawn from a rotating pool so every stretch appears once before any repeat, keeping breaks varied instead of showing the same moves every time.
  4. Tap Snooze for five more minutes if you're mid-task, or Skip Sequence to return to work immediately — either way the recurring schedule keeps running and Pause always resumes exactly where it left off.

Set a work interval and press Start, and this tool counts down quietly in the corner until it's time to move. When the interval ends, a full-screen guided sequence takes over with four different stretches drawn from a rotating pool, each shown one at a time with its own hold countdown and a soft chime when the hold finishes. The pool cycles through every stretch before repeating any of them, so the sequence stays varied across breaks instead of showing the same four moves every time. If you're mid-task when the prompt appears, tap Snooze for five more minutes without losing the recurring schedule, or skip the sequence entirely to get back to work sooner. Pausing anywhere — even mid-hold — resumes from exactly where you left off.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the 20-20-20 Eye Rest tool?
20-20-20 Eye Rest is eyes-only: a fixed 20-second glance at something far away every 20 minutes, with no movement and no sequence. This tool is full-body — each break is a guided sequence of several different stretches, drawn from a rotating pool, each with its own hold countdown, rather than one fixed 20-second pause.
Will I see the same four stretches every single break?
No. Stretches are drawn from a pool using a fair shuffle that cycles through every stretch in the pool before any of them repeats, so consecutive breaks show different combinations rather than the same fixed four moves.
What happens if I pause in the middle of a stretch hold?
The hold countdown pauses exactly where it was and resumes from that same remaining time when you press Start again — nothing resets or restarts, whether you pause during the work interval or mid-stretch.
