Stretch It — a smarter, sleeker timer in your menu bar. When you need focus, a quick break, or perfect cooking timing, you shouldn’t open a full timer or task app. Stretch It is a minimalist macOS timer you control with one simple gesture.

Key Features & Benefits:

Gesture-based setup: Drag the menu-bar icon down — the farther you stretch, the more time you add. Fast, intuitive, and non-intrusive.

Customizable appearance: Adjust color, contrast, and alert sounds so the timer feels native.

Multi-monitor ready: Works seamlessly across all displays.

Minimalist design: No task lists, labels, or clutter — just a single quick-launch timer.

What sets Stretch It apart:

Lives entirely in the menu bar — always accessible.

Uses a natural, fluid “pull” gesture instead of dialogs or sliders.

Avoids the complexity of task apps; built for speed and simplicity.

Perfect for: Pomodoro focus bursts, micro-breaks, stretching, breathing resets, boiling eggs, steeping tea, or anyone who values a fast, clean, unobtrusive timer.
