I love the extension, I love pomodoro, and seeing it up above. I love the element of gamification and earning points HOWEVER, none of my points or stats get saved whatsoever. It isn't tracking my stuff and I can't find any place in my settings to fix it!

Hi Alina! Yes, thats a bug. Thanks for reporting! :) I'm aware of it and it's on my list to fix. Currently though there are other features/fixes I'm prioritising but I do have plans to overhaul the stats/points/reporting system soon. Ideally this month or the next.

LOVE this extension, but tasks feature is glitchy. Pause buttons not working on both the pop up and the extension. I also set a task to 15 mins but it sets a timer of 30 mins. Other than that, it's one of the best apps out there. I will be using the timer feature more.

i love this extension , one of the best pomodoro extension i have ever used. Although I have one request, please please add a stopwatch mode along with the pomodoro mood.

Nice, love the aesthetic and how straight to the point it is. However, its autoblocking does not work properly. Overall, a useful extension.

Hi Sagittarius, can you give me more details on how it's not working properly? I just tested it and it works as expected. Autoblock never blocks a website permanently, only that particular session of the tab will be blocked.

Very cute and the website blocking is super useful, only complaint is that I wish there was an option to keep the timer on the screen to keep me motivated.

I love this extension!! I plan to get pro when I have more money ^0^! I was wondering if you guys would consider making a firefox version in the future? I use firefox a lot more than chrome so it would be amazing to have on there too :D

This extension is AmAzInG. I'm one of those people who always get distracted every 5 minutes and goes wandering off to a random site. However, with this wonderful creation my focus is next level. Otto blocks sites, lets you customize the sound, and works along with you. I love this extension and will use actively. Thank you!

thank you for the kind words Amy! I just added a new quality of life feature called "The command bar", you can open it from anywhere by pressing cmd + shift + o to quickly start the timer. I hope you find this new feature useful. You should be able to use it in a day or two. You can find more info here https://ottoapp.me/help/command-box

Absolutely love the extension; such a life savior! Besides having all the functionalities for a pomodoro timer (like letting you set how much time you allot for working and resting), it just has the best animation! I LOVE that Otto is working out alongside me. And the page blocker is great. Otto's disappointment when you open a blocked page breaks my heart and makes me want to go straight back to work. One of the best extensions out there productivity, hands down!

I love how cute it is......it does not let you get distracted by any site which is not useful and has a Pomodoro timer! It really helped me a lot in my high school exams....the light blue and golden theme is really great and the tasks section too. Now, I can focus so much more on studying Highly recommend it to fellow students!
