## Description

Stretch is a clean, lightweight countdown timer designed for fitness and everyday timing tasks. It offers five large preset buttons, a reset button, and a running count of how many times you’ve timed. Timers run in the background and can play with other audio, even when your device is locked; you can also disable auto-lock and set timers to repeat.

Use cases include stretching, workouts, rest periods, boiling eggs, steeping tea, and brewing coffee. To customize, tap and hold a preset to edit its duration, and tap the timer to reset. Stretch is designed to be simple yet flexible, with a clear interface and fast access.
