Smart break reminders with safe exercises for neck, shoulders, back, and eyes. Evidence-based. Works in background. Stretch Reminder helps you take short, structured breaks while working at a computer — protecting your neck, shoulders, lower back, and eyes from the cumulative damage of long sitting sessions. 🎯 WHAT IT DOES Every 45-60 minutes (you choose), the extension opens a focused break tab with 2-3 carefully selected exercises for one body zone. A countdown timer guides your pause, and a celebration screen with a short jingle rewards you when you finish. 💪 EVIDENCE-BASED EXERCISES All exercises come from authoritative medical sources: - American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) — for neck and cervical health - NHS UK — for shoulder impingement and rotator cuff - Cleveland Clinic — for "tech neck" and posture - American Optometric Association — for the 20-20-20 rule and digital eye strain - Harvard Health — for sitting-related back pain Specifically designed to be safe for people with pinched nerve symptoms or shoulder impingement. We deliberately exclude exercises that AAOS warns against (full head rotations, ceiling-look stretches, aggressive shoulder external rotation under load). 🧘 FEATURES ✓ 4 body zones: Neck, Shoulders & Upper Back, Lower Back, Eyes + General Activity ✓ 5 exercise variations per zone (20 total) — randomly rotated, never boring ✓ 2-3 exercises per break (research shows people skip larger sets) ✓ "Replace exercise" button if a specific one doesn't fit you that moment ✓ Adjustable timing: 10-120 min work / 1-15 min break ✓ Auto-schedule: extension turns itself on and off based on your work hours ✓ Idle detection: doesn't bug you when you're already away from screen ✓ Snooze 10 min for important meetings ✓ Background operation: alerts fire even when the extension tab is closed ✓ Weekly report with charts, completion rate, zone breakdown, CSV export ✓ Gamification: levels, streaks, daily counter (no leaderboards, no social pressure) ✓ 65+ motivational memes (PM, marketing, finance humor) ✓ Custom memes folder: add your own GIFs and images ✓ Sound: ambient beep + victory jingle (4 variations) — toggle off if you prefer silence ✓ YouTube "watch demo" link for every exercise ✓ Full bilingual support: English and Ukrainian (toggle in the popup) 🔒 PRIVACY 100% local. No analytics, no tracking, no remote servers. All your data stays on your computer. Open source. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This extension is not medical advice.
