How a stretch break works

  1. Your cat knocks

    The painted cat peeks in from the edge of a Mac desktop and knocks beside an open Notes window.

  2. Stretch together

    The actual app shows Standing Quad, a four-second hold with the app’s start beep and final 3–2–1 countdown.

  3. Break complete

    The cat returns to standing, then smiles as the app lists Standing Quad under 1 stretch completed.
