Let's Stretch

A lightweight macOS menu bar app that reminds you to stretch throughout the day. Built with SwiftUI for macOS 14+.

Features

• Menu bar app — lives in your menu bar, stays out of your way
• 18 curated stretches — designed specifically for desk workers
• Timed reminders — configurable intervals with a gentle pulsing icon
• Step-by-step instructions — clear visual guidance for each stretch
• Auto-play sessions — chain multiple stretches together
• Launch at login — start stretching from day one

Install

Homebrew (recommended)

brew install --cask lucasprim/lets-stretch/lets-stretch

Manual download

Head to the Releases page and download the latest LetsStretch.zip. Unzip it and drag LetsStretch.app to your Applications folder.

Note: Since the app is not notarized by Apple, macOS will block it on first launch. After unzipping, run this in Terminal:

xattr -cr /Applications/LetsStretch.app

Then open the app normally. You only need to do this once.
