How can I help?

Email stretch@calebhamilton.org and I'll get back to you. A few common questions first:

Black & white doesn't turn on

• In Settings › Accessibility › Display & Text Size › Color Filters, set the filter to Grayscale. The switch itself can stay off.
• In the Shortcuts app, check that your automation includes the app, has Is Opened and Is Closed ticked, is set to Run Immediately, and runs the Stretch shortcut.
• In Stretch, open Settings › Tracked apps and tap an app to test its shortcut again.

"Stretch is paused"

Screen Time access was turned off, so minutes aren't being counted. Tap Turn back on on the home screen and approve Screen Time again.

The check-in came a little late

iOS reports Screen Time in whole minutes, so a check-in can land up to a minute after the mark. Time only counts while you're in a tracked app.

Starting fresh

Ten minutes away from your tracked apps always resets the session. A check-in photo resets it straight away, and so does "Take a photo to reset" on the home screen after a check-in.

Stopping Stretch

Delete the app, then remove the Stretch automation and shortcut from the Shortcuts app. Nothing else is left behind.

Requirements

An iPhone with iOS 26.5 or later.
