Release Notes

[1.22.0] - 2026-07-17

Added

  • Windows installer now adds stretchly to PATH so CLI commands (e.g. stretchly pause) can be run from any terminal without specifying the full executable path
  • advanced option breakContentScreen to show break countdown/idea only on the primary, cursor, or a specific screen while other screens stay blanked
  • advanced option trayIconThemeSource (system, light, or dark) to set the tray icon's light or dark variant
  • advanced options monitorDndCheckInterval and naturalBreaksCheckInterval to tune how often Do Not Disturb and idle time are checked

Changed

  • tray icon now follows the light/dark theme automatically; the manual "Inverted Monochrome" option was removed
  • improved tray icons
  • reduced background polling for Do Not Disturb, natural breaks, and app exclusions to 2 seconds to lower energy usage (appExclusionsCheckInterval default raised from 1000 to 2000)
  • reduced CPU and energy usage during breaks
  • Do Not Disturb, natural breaks, and app exclusion monitoring are stopped while breaks are paused, to lower energy usage
  • disable new end break shortcut registrations on native Wayland, where they could remain active after breaks and block the shortcut in other apps

Fixed

  • fix Windows notifications not using Stretchly's name and icon when started via the stretchly command
  • fix crashes on system unlock
  • fix window icon turning monochrome with the monochrome tray icon setting
  • fix custom title for Mini break from command line
  • fix repeated crash windows after an error
  • improve double-click error prevention in breaks
  • fix fullscreen breaks dropping out of their Space after a few seconds on macOS
  • fix app exclusion state not updating in some cases
  • fix text selection on break screens allowing escape via the macOS force-click dictionary

Installer type: nullsoft
