Reviews & Comments of Otto – Pomodoro timer and website blocker chrome extension

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

Otto really helps me get my work done in segments and allows me to take breaks to avoid burning out or feeling too overwhelmed with my to-do list.

Amazing extension, works perfectly!

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

noice

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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. :<

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.

The blocking feature doesn't work at all

Simple! Love it

I really like this extension, I haven't used it in a while but I've been starting to use this again. I really recommend this<3

No doubt, has made me a more productive person. It's cute. It's effective. It's my favorite.

Great. Add different looks for him that you can unlock after a certain amount of time!

I liked the idea of this timer, but I cannot manually change the work and break times. Big letdown...Hopefully this change could be made, but for now I'll have to use something else..

love this extension. It helps me focus and get my work done. Just a few issues. You can't set the timer for an hour or over. Would really love to be able to do this. Another thing, sometimes the timer glitches. I'll set the timer and then right after the minute digit will switch between two numbers (i.e. if i set a timer for 30 minutes, the minute place will switch between 30 and and random number less than it, but the seconds work fine). Other than that, highly recommend.

Great extension would be nice to see as a desktop app. One thing that does bother me a bit is how if you get blocked when traveling to a restricted website, you can't go back to the page when you stop the timer so it is lost. Additionally, the health bar seems to not be functional but that was never the reason why I started using the extension.

It looks great! However, I'd love it if you could manually start and stop focus/break times. Currently it just rolls over automatically, which is not always good for when you're away from the screen.

Great UI, best pomodoro app out there!

Works like a charm! I love the cute animation and definitely don't want to hurt Otto which prevents me from getting distracted

To be honest, it's nice. :) My father thinks it has a virus though so he uninstalled it. But here I am, installing it again. I really hope Hard MOde comes out soon. :D

I love this extension, but I would love to be able to set a timer for more than an hour.

I think it's absolutely wonderful, especially for somebody with adhd, but there is one thing that bothers me, I cannot make timers that are 60:00 or above an hour, I would love to see perhaps an extended timer?

helped me on nnn

Very nice extension. What I am missing from all pomodoro extensions is a small pop up in browser because sometimes I don't hear notification

Great extention, my only problem is that if you stop a timer in the middle of it, in the next timer it glitches to where the timer you stoped would be and the new timer. Then you need to uninstall it and reinstall.

break session does not work - otto blocks sites even in the break session - great extension

BEST AND CUTEST TIMER

So far, amazing. I really needed some friendly reminder to become aware of my tick to open twitter and then puff, lost 15 minutes. In the aspects of design and development is beautifu, thanks. If you need a hand with coding or testing, contact me :)

Super cute design and really easy to use. It was exactly what I was looking for because the timer is displayed :) Thanks for making this extension

Otto is AMAZINGGGG. It helps me concentrate and get my work done!!!

Well designed, simple, and easy to use.

it's so cute, hopefuly you keep improve this extension!

This is a great extension but I think there's a bug with otto. On my break, He is working out but when it is working time he is sleeping. Otherwise, a great extension, better than most other pomodoro timers.

great extension. really helpful -- looking forward to the new "hard mode" and "break mode" features!

Cute and extremely helpful.

Highly reccomended! The interface is user friendly and pleasing to look at, and the game-like features (death count, hard mode, times distracted) are a great way to keep users engaged. The only thing that I found confusing is that when I move to the daily distraction graph and then back onto the homepage, the timer appears to have reset. Not sure if that's supposed to happen, but the extention is great regardless!

it works

Otto is fun and very easy to use <3

Really good except that the timer is small and in the bar so its hard to notice when the timer has finished. I wish we could also change the Pomodoro timings so we can have slightly longer sessions ( 45/15). Overall, still very good extension.

Es un muy buen servico de contador/cronometro pomodoro para computador, en el telefono utilizo otro xD pero aun asi cuando se trabaja solo en computadora me parece mejor porque bloquea los sitios que puedad distraerte

I like it. It'd be nice to have a 'warning' ding before the timer is complete though. I'm not always watching the timer, so this would let me wrap up what I'm doing instead of it being a hard stop.

Otto really helps me staying productive when my mind starts to wander! Highly recommended! ?

I liked it a lot :P

Una buena extensión para no distraerte con pijadas

Otto is a fun way to cut down the time I spend on the internet!

Otto is Ossome
