How to use Stretchly<\/h2>\n
To use Stretchly on the Linux desktop, start off by opening up the app. You can open up the app on your Linux desktop by searching for \u201cStretchly\u201d in the applications menu. When you\u2019ve launched the app, follow the step-by-step instructions below.<\/p>\n
Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong> There are tons of languages to choose from. Each of the languages is represented by country flags. Using the UI, select the language you prefer to use Stretchly in.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> After selecting your language, find the \u201cOpen preferences\u201d button and select it with the mouse. From here, you\u2019ll see the Stretchly app settings. In this window, find the \u201cSchedule\u201d section, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> In the \u201cSchedule\u201d area, you\u2019ll see your break schedule. It has \u201cmini breaks,\u201d which are a 20-second break every 10 minutes. You\u2019ll also have long breaks, which is set for a 5 minute break every \u201c30 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Look through \u201cmini breaks\u201d and define how long (or short) you wish your breaks to be. Do the same thing for the \u201cEvery\u201d section as well.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve defined your \u201cmini breaks\u201d in the \u201cSchedule\u201d section of Stretchly, it is time to define your \u201clong breaks.\u201d Using the slider, determine how long (or short) your long breaks should be. Then, modify the \u201cEvery\u201d slider to your liking.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve set your Stretchly preferences, close the window by clicking the X. When you close this window, Stretchly will still be running, and it will appear to remind you to get up and take a stretch at times you\u2019ve configured in the \u201cPreferences\u201d window in steps 3-4.<\/p>\n
