DeskStretch gently reminds you to get up and move during long hours at your desk, then guides you through quick stretches you can do right where you are. - Remind me every 30 / 45 / 60 / 90 / 120 minutes, only during your active hours (e.g. 9:00-18:00). - Stretch by body area: neck, shoulders, back & hips, wrists & arms, legs and eyes. - Every stretch is guided with an animated illustration, clear steps and a countdown timer. - Build a daily streak and see your weekly activity to make movement a habit. - Tap "Stretch now" to start a session anytime, without waiting for a reminder. - Private by design: no account, no login, no cloud. Everything stays on your device, fully offline. A simple answer to "sitting is the new smoking." Available in English and Japanese.
