We've got
your back.
StretchClock reminds you to move every hour and walks you through guided desk stretches. Five minutes a day to fewer aches, better focus, and real relief from back pain, RSI, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
"The best aspect of the Stretch Clock is the series of videos teaching you how to stretch... [it tells] you when it's time to get up from your seat and do a little body restoration work."
Melissa Bell, The Washington Post"StretchClock has it all — funny, healthy, relaxing, easy to use. I feel better every time. Everyone on my team started using it too."

Windows Desktop App
A lightweight app that lives in your taskbar and reminds you to move, even when your browser is closed.
Best for you if:
- You use Windows 10 or Windows 11

Not sure? If you run Windows, use the Windows app. Otherwise use the Web Reminder. You can easily switch later if you need to.
What users say
The break reminder people actually use.
"StretchClock Rocks!"
It's funny, healthy, relaxing, easy to use, and does all the mundane stuff for you. StretchClock lets me know every hour it's time to get up and stretch, and I feel better every time. Everyone on my team started using it, too.
"That feels better!"
This little gadget makes a world of difference to my poor, cramped shoulders, wrists, back. The trees, water and ambient birdsong as you stretch for a minute gives your mind a refreshing break, too. So worth the minute it takes!
"Indispensable."
What did I do before this? Sit around cramped all day. I have mine set on 30 minutes, which feels completely intrusive, which is great! Aren't you more important than whatever it is you're working on?
"Brilliant!"
Really, really good. Only problem is I want to be where he is and not at my desk!
"StretchClock. It's about time!"
My job requires me to sit at the computer all day. Sometimes I lose track of time and find myself in a world of hurt. StretchClock is making a difference in my day, every day. Thanks!
Easy to invest a little time in yourself.
Trusted by thousands of individuals, businesses, colleges, and universities every day. Healthy, safe, and fun.
