Stretching Timer for Guided Routines

Hold each stretch for exactly as long as you need — a quick 30 seconds here, a deeper 90-second hold there — and let ChainFlow move you through the whole routine with an audio cue, so you never have to check a clock mid-stretch.

Why ChainFlow works for stretching

A generic countdown app treats every hold the same. Real stretch routines don't — some positions need 30 seconds, others need a full 90. ChainFlow lets each stretch keep its own duration in one continuous, hands-free sequence.

Different hold durationsEvery stretch can be timed exactly as long as it needs.
Hands-free progressionMoves to the next stretch on its own — no reaching for your phone mid-hold.
Audio cuesA clear sound tells you when to change position.

Questions

Can each stretch have a different hold time?

Yes. A quick 30-second stretch and a deeper 90-second hold can sit in the same routine — each gets its own duration.

Do I have to watch the screen to know when to switch stretches?

No. An audio cue signals when to move to the next stretch, so you can close your eyes or focus on your breathing.

Can I build a full-body routine in one sequence?

Yes. Chain as many stretches as you want into one self-running sequence.

Can I save my stretch routine and reuse it?

Yes. Save it once and start it again in a tap.

Is it free?

Free to download and use. A one-time $4.99 Pro unlock adds unlimited saved routines and cloud sync.
