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.

Latest reviews
- (2023-11-24) Carla Morales: 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 :).
- (2023-11-11) Icham Sakkar: For some reason now sound doesn't work anymore. It did before. Bring it back.
- (2023-10-16) It's very helpful, but there is no sound. On top of that, it could be great more gamification
- (2023-10-14) Lilah Harrison: fudge you you bish idiot. your stupid as extension does not even block the dam websites!! KILL YOURSELF OR GET A FUDGING LIFE
- (2023-10-12) Dawid gajdosz: 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.
- (2023-09-26) jyotsana gyanwali: its so cute and useful
- (2023-09-19) Анна Костова: It's very helpful. Loved it.

- (2023-09-11) Jeff Liu: I love the auto block where it blocks a website after a certain time. Just what I was looking for.
- (2023-09-11) Hello Itsme: Timer pauses randomly?? Made me feel like my internal clock was off (it rarely is) until I realized. Otherwise worked okay. I'll stick to my mobile timer for now I guess :,)
- (2023-09-01) Abhishek Kumar Verma: Best Tool ever for me either in terms of interface design or its simplicity. Very nice keep going.
- (2023-08-31) Ryan Pagaduan: It works fine for me after having trouble on my development project causing an error for hours found out that the reason is this plugin and here is the error :8080/#/:1 Refused to apply style from 'http://localhost:8080/css/blockedPage.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.
- (2023-08-28) L (Lazagna): Loved this extension, it keeps me focused on my studies. Major issue im experiencing tho is it still blocks the websites i block/didn't block whenever it's on break time, I even went to the settings to turn on break mode but to no avail. Pls fix this, thank you.
- (2023-08-25) Boris Zhguchev: Just awesome.
- (2023-08-22) dinuja lakshitha: it was very usefull
- (2023-08-21) Kate Lwwiksiks: It's a really useful tool, really helps with organisations. Sometimes it glitches every now an again but its all manageable. :)
- (2023-08-17) Juan Daniel Escalera Bernal: Era mi herramienta favorita para el trabajo pero ha dejado de alertarme y no entiendo porque.
- (2023-08-12) Not edited: It crashed a lot and the timer randomly froze which was annoying
- (2023-08-10) Ritu Mitra: It super cute and focusing. TRUST ME it's amazing. You can control it and learn about cool things!
- (2023-08-08) Javiera Herrera: i love the app, its just incredible, it helps me a lot with my organization.
- (2023-08-02) Alice Ospovat: How on earth is this supposed to be useful without any kind of always-on-top functionality? I can launch Otto, sure, but then as soon as I click back to my page in Chrome, he disappears. What's the point of that? Are you only supposed to use this app if you are working outside of Chrome? I don't get it.
- (2023-07-30) Arundhuti Mukherjee: Been using this since last year abd I really love how simple and effective it is. Love the new update
- (2023-07-14) Ian Rickett: This app has genuinely saved me from so much distraction. It's helped me keep focused, and I appreciate how the app is pretty simple but lets you adjust the things that you need to like how long each pomodoro is, how long the rest periods are, etc. I also love its ability in-app to block certain websites which prevent you from checking twitter when you really should be working. A great little app, don't know what I would do without it.
- (2023-07-14) CARLA VALENTINA FERNANDEZ: Hola! Hasta hace unos días me funcionó excelente, después se comenzó a pausar sola. La instale nuevamente para ver si de ese modo funcionaba correctamente pero me sigue fallando. Una lastima porque es muy practica.
- (2023-07-13) Raktim Majumdar: causes continuous reload in microsoft services webpages. Tried disabling one by one extension and this was the cause.
- (2023-07-13) Michelle Blanchette: I've used Forest in the past, but I like the simplicity and UX of Otto better. I also really like the custom ppomodoro timer format. It has some quirks and bugs here and there, but overall the best productivity timer and website blocker I've used. I hope it stays this simple and doesn't get bloated with features.
- (2023-07-09) Raktim Majumdar: simple with website block feature
- (2023-07-06) Eggie: Good
- (2023-05-22) Agnar Joensen: I really like this extension, it's simple to set up and use and does what it promises. It's almost exactly what I am looking for and I have not found anything else that fits my requirements better. Excellent work from the developer! A feature that I would like to have is the ability to get a clearly visible pop-up (or redirect into a new tap in my browser) when the timer is over, so I know when a break starts. I'm not always able to listen to the bell chime. I also would have wanted the same thing to happen when the break is over and that I then manually would have to turn it on again for my work period. This way of working would be better for me.
- (2023-03-19) Nguyen Tan: quá xịn xò luôn
- (2023-03-13) امیرحسین صادقیه: رابط کاربری ساده ای داره هر چند سایت رو بخوای بلاک میکنه یه قابلیت hard mode داره که نمیتونی تا زمانی که تامیر تموم بشه قطعش کنی ولی هنوز فعال نشده قابلیت خوبیه کاش زودترفعال بشه
- (2023-01-24) Sholehuddin Syaifullah: This application is very good, I hope that in the future the website blocker can be turned off during breaks. I also hope that we can include a to-do list in the application. Thankyou
- (2022-11-21) Sarim Khan (Sarim Khan): Amazing extension, works perfectly!
- (2022-10-20) the square root of seven (The square root of seven): I like this while it worked. I don't know why but now when I restart otto, he's always on break mode. Even when I press stop and restart it
- (2022-10-15) Trang Do Thu: xài free nhưng mà thấy rất ổn áp, nếu mà các break session cho mấy bài stretch vào nữa thì bá cmnl
- (2022-10-08) Piyush Patil: noice
- (2022-10-05) Ziggy Shaw: The website blocking isn't working at all. Or is it not meant to block website and just reduce health? I didn't really understand, because the health isn't going down either when on a blocked website.
- (2022-09-25) Phương Nguyên: cái này hay lắm, có chế độ block web nữa, dùng khá ok, mn có thể thử
- (2022-09-09) Taufiq Qurahman: Really like the simple and minimal extension for using. Great work But the contrast purple of background color and showing the seconds is kinda a distraction tho. Hope there's some option to on/ off showing the seconds.
- (2022-07-02) Ngoc Luong: When pausing the timer, it somehow messes up the bluetooth connection. My keyboard and mouse were lagging right after pausing the timer on break mode. I tried to continue the timer and the bluetooth connection turns back to normal.
- (2022-06-22) Ahmad Developer: Hey Found 2 bugs in the extension. 1: When u go to a blocked website. blockedwebsite.html loads but if u look at health bar on website it remains unchanged. Problem is it is not able to access js file. cuz path given to it is /scripts/blockpage.js but in reality the js file is in /scripts/MAIN/blockpage.js changing this should fix the issue. 2:The second issue is that when break happens otto still does his workout he doesn't stop but I guess there is an animation for otto break. Use that animation if u are using that then it is not working fix these issues as soon as possible. Thanks
- (2022-06-18) mcg: Otto's health bar does not decrease in blockedUI.html. blockedUI.html does not appear in incognito mode (yes I let Otto run in incognito mode.) It still works as it blocks the website but it just says "[a bunch of stuff] is blocked" instead of showing blockedUI.html on Edge.l
- (2022-06-16) Lacy Castleman: I love this extension! It is user friendly, helpful for ADHD, and visually appealing. I just wish it had a to-do feature or task list
- (2022-06-16) StitchTehZombie: Useful, but very glitchy! It often gets confused about whether it's counting down my break or my working time. Sometimes it'll make the bell ring randomly. It is supposed to keep my focused but it is actually quite distracting at times. please fix this!
- (2022-06-13) Walber Lustosa: uma que você inicia o período de foco, as sessões seguintes (de intervalo e foco) são iniciadas de forma automática e não tem como desabilitar essa opção
- (2022-05-28) Mikee Soriano: Whenever I use this extension, it prevents all my tabs from loading even if the auto block is turned off. ALl my tabs will only continue to work if I remove the extension from chrome. It's just sad as this is the pomodoro extension that I wanted to use. It's so cute however there's that. Hope this could get fixed. :<
- (2022-05-05) Fernando Me: Lovely extension, I just wish I could make work sessions longer than 59 minutes. I know the pomodoro technique is shorter than that, but I don't see why that would stop the extension from having longer times.
