Unhunched (beta)

A small Windows app that reminds you to move while you work at your computer. A card with a short exercise appears in the corner of the screen. It never takes the focus from what you are doing, and it does not show when you share your screen.

Getting started

1. Unpack the zip file.
2. Put Reminder.App.exe where it can stay, for example in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Reminder (paste that into File Explorer's address bar and create the folder). No administrator rights are needed.
3. Double-click the file. Windows may say "Windows protected your PC", since the beta is not signed yet: click "More info" and then "Run anyway". You only have to do this once.
4. A welcome window tells you the app is running. After that it lives as a star in the system tray, next to the clock. If you can't see it, click ^ by the clock.

The app starts by itself with Windows from now on. The first exercise comes after 30 minutes.

Using it

• On the card: click "Done" when you have done the exercise. Click the figure to pause for 1, 2 or 4 hours, or just hide the card. If you do nothing, it goes away by itself.
• The star in the system tray: click it for an exercise right away, right-click for pause, settings and exit.
• Settings: how often, extra eye breaks, quiet hours, where the card appears, sound, and start with Windows.

Starting the file again while the app is running opens the settings.

Removing it

1. In Settings, untick "Start with Windows" and save.
2. Right-click the star and choose Exit.
3. Delete the file, and the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\StretchReminder with your settings.

Good to know

The exercises are gentle suggestions, not medical advice. Stop if anything hurts.
