Otto: Pomodoro timer, Tasks and Website Blocker Extension

Hello! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

A focus timer that helps you reduce procrastination, friction and helps you be mindful while working and browsing the web.

And we take your privacy very seriously. We do not spy, collect, steal, or sell your data.

How to Install Otto?

- Click on the “Add to Chrome/Brave” button.
- Once installed, you’ll see a welcome page with an overview.
- Be sure to pin the extension. This is important because the timer is displayed in the extension when you start a session. If you don’t pin it, you may not see it.

Remember to \"pin it\" ✅

Main Features

Pomodoro Timer:

Split your time into manageable chunks. For example, work for 45 minutes and take a 5-minute break. After each work session, a break session begins. The timer recurs until you stop it.

Task Timer:

Task sessions let you name your tasks, they act as a way to remind you what your working on. They function differently from a pomodoro timer since they do not respect the work/break idea. You can add up to 3 tasks on the free version and unlimited tasks on the Pro version. The task timer also shows you a little pop with your tasks, which you can minimize.


Website Blocker:

Block any website without any restrictions. You can add unlimited websites for free. Just go to the blocklist in otto’s popup and add your site. You can also go to a website and open ottos popup and block the site directly from there.
The block site will only be activated when a Pomodoro timer or task timer is running. This plays nicely into focus during work

Notion Task Timers
Turn your To-dos on Notion into Task sessions. You can create 4 days per day with a total duration of 80 min.


Autoblock Websites:

Automatically block websites after spending a certain amount of time on them. For example, block YouTube after 1 minute. Useful for breaking habits. The free plan allows one autoblock.


Sounds:

Customize the sounds that play at the end of a Pomodoro session.

Now how does Otto’s health and game mechanic works?

Here’s a simple explanation

- Focus is important, focus for 25 minutes or more and you gain 100+ health and a maple leaf
- Get distracted and your health goes down by -10
- If health goes to zero, then death comes
- But death is not final, revive using 10 maple leaves

So remember - Collect maple leaves and restore Otto.

Carla Morales (ID: 000000b46c3c04ec) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/24/2023 Es genial para evitar entrar en páginas que te suelen distraer. Pones que no puedes entrar en X o que solo te permita estar en X páginas y es genial. Como defectos diría que a veces se queda pillado el contador y echas mas tiempo del que programas y que tampoco suena la alarma por mas que cambies el sonido o la voz, por eso le quito una estrella. Si arreglasen eso, sería de 5 estrellas :).

Icham Sakkar (ID: 0000004186d6b894) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/11/2023 For some reason now sound doesn't work anymore. It did before. Bring it back.

Dawid gajdosz (ID: 00000096676a57a5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/12/2023 When the timer is over, there is no sound or any other notice from the application. There is a menu, where you can choose you favorite sound....but it never get trigged.So you constantly have to check the passed time...not that great solution.
