#STRETCHLY SKIP CURRENT BREAK INSTALL#
You can install Stretchly for all users silently by running this as administrator: installer.exe /S /allusers. Stretchly is also available in Microsoft's winget. You can also install Stretchly with Chocolatey by running the following command from the command line or from PowerShell: choco install stretchly. If you're using Alfred on macOS you can use this Alfred Workflow to interact with Stretchly. Stretchly is not signed (due to its costs) so you will need to use this workaround for the first run: Open a Mac app from an unidentified developer.

Stretchly is a cross-platform open source app that reminds you to take breaks when working on your computer. Open-source enthusiast, connecting the dots in Product teams. (It also unfreezes eventually if I left-click-drag over and over for a short period.Stretchly - The break time reminder app Jan Hovancik I also found that although left-clicking, scrolling and typing don't work when the browser is frozen, right-clicking to open the context menu unfreezes it immediately. I tested in Chrome, Edge and Firefox and it only seems to affect the Chromium-based browsers, not Firefox. So I guess it has something to do with accidentally clicking once or twice after a fullscreen break has started (even though it takes lots more clicks to reproduce consistently). Exit the break by clicking Postpone/Skip this break or by just waiting for the timer to run out.Whilst in the break, click all over the screen with the mouse (I've managed to reproduce once with just 4 clicks but it's much more consistent when I do about 10).Right-click the Stretchly taskbar icon and choose Skip to next break (either Mini or Long break will do).Fun fact, it is even enough to hide only one window (out of multiple when using more than one display) and it does not matter, which one is hidden.Īfter experimenting I found I can reproduce the error consistently by doing the following: After that, I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. That doesn't seem right, but not sure how/where to report this exactly.Ī possible workaround seems to be to first hide the break windows, then close it: master.BenediktAllendorf:hide_and_close. If you manage to make the tab non-responsive even the dev tools freeze and the performance monitor stops.
I managed to do this by starting a new break right after a chrome tab had loaded a page (meaning, the dev tools showed a loading time aka "Load: 1.23 s") but still was doing something (requesting/rendering stuff) and moving the cursor over the chrome tab while in break.
The tab is marked as such in Chrome's task manager. It seems that this is a Chromium bug and in some weird cases, the tab gets inactive and therefore, does not render correctly anymore.
But as I'm not the only one (and because I was scared that I had introduced that bug by using the screen-safer mode ^^), I debugged it. I had this for a while in Chrome (Windows 10 圆4 Pro 20H2) now and couldn't really make sense out of it.
