Desk Stretch: Six quick moves in four minutes
Get through six guided stretches with a countdown, pause and skip controls, and watch your daily streak grow.
Sitting at a desk all day tightens your neck, wrists, shoulders and back. Desk Stretch guides you through six simple moves you can do right at your desk in just four minutes. Each stretch shows a clear emoji cue, a one-line instruction, and a countdown, with soft audio ticks to keep you paced. The app tracks how many days in a row you complete the routine, giving you a visual streak to maintain.
What it does
When you start, the app shows you one stretch at a time with a large emoji symbol, the move's name, and a specific cue like 'Ear to shoulder, breathe slow'. A ring fills as the 40-second countdown ticks down, with soft beeps marking each second. You can pause, resume, or skip any stretch. As you move through all six stretches, dots at the bottom show your progress. Once you finish all four minutes, the app records that you completed it today and updates your streak.
