How to use the StretchClock Extension for Chrome
StretchClock is a break reminder that reminds you to stretch. The break reminder is available as a Chrome Extension that you can install directly into your web browser.
Notice the Icon In Your Toolbar.
After downloading the Extension StretchClock is installed in your browser menu.
The number on the icon tells you how many minutes until your next break.
Click on the StretchClock icon in your toolbar to see the main menu.
Note: If you do not see the StretchClock icon in your toolbar, look for the puzzle piece icon in your Chrome toolbar. From that menu click the Pin icon to place StretchClock in your toolbar.
