Love the app. It really helps to stay focused. Is there a mode that it keeps on blocking after 25min. My focus sessions are sometimes longer than 25 min and I like to block for 3 hours for instance. Thanks, for all you do!
Thanks for the review Tim! You can set the timer to 99 min (that's the max)

It doesn't track my times of focus time and total focus correctly. It missed most of my focus events.
Hi Yuefeng! Thanks for the bug report. It's been on my list to fix. I will look into it soon. :)

Causes a bunch of layout problems on youtube (buttons expanding, scrollbars showing up on video descriptions), took me forever to isolate it to this app as I have no idea why it'd cause so many problems.
Hi Eric, there's a new update with the fix for that. Please update to the latest version 1.0.37. It should fix the layout problems on youtube. Thank you!

I LOVE this app. Otto is so cute and I can't let him get hurt. I have ADHD and gamification works amazingly when I am trying to focus. There is one suggestion I would like to implement. I would like for there to be a mode where there is a white list or an allowed list so when I turn on this mode it only allows those websites and all other websites are blocked. I get distracted very easily and I start reading an online version of my LED lights instruction manual 😅. I just can't block all the ... Show more
Hi Lucas! Thanks you for your review. Yeah, i've had that request before (I'm not sure if you were the one who suggested it elsewhere but someone else did too. It is on my todo list so it will be added in the near future. Thanks for using Otto :)

I really like this app but thce only thing that sucks is when you're going on another web the timer doesnt stay on the screen and thats really anoying because you dont see otto and then you kind of forget to study😅, can you fix this plssss.
Hi Marie! Thanks for your review. That is intentional by design. While I agree that some people might forget, many people (including me) find it distracting when there's a box hovering. But I'll consider adding this, maybe as an option to toggle if someone wishes to have a timer stay on screen :)

I really love this app! The one thing that seems to glitch is the popup option stopped working even with notifications turned ON. It also resets right back to the 25 min session rather than my customized focus time.
Hi Michelle! The large popup (which is embedded in websites) should now show your customized focus time. But the smaller popup (otto popup) doesn't show that. I'll fix it in the next update.

Hey! Thanks a ton for creating this app. It worked like a charm for me for days, but then it suddenly stopped counting. Now, it only works if I manually stop the timer and restart, and it's really bumming me out. Appreciate any help with this!
Hi Nazanin! The timer should continue from where it's stopped after a couple of seconds. If you're using the task timer then I've released a new update so that should fix the task timer stopping bug (waiting for it to be approved by the chrome team) If you could give me some more info on this that'd be helpful. Please email be at jbnj(at)ottoapp.me

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. edit (Oct 15, 2024): Hi Alina, I've fixed the focus stats not getting saved bug. Needs version 1.0.32 New improvements coming soon, including a better game mechanic and better analytics.

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.
Hi Kimberly, thank you for your review. Yea it can be glitchy sometimes, I will be fixing it soon. :) edit edit (Oct 15, 2024): Hi Kimberly, I've fixed the tasks. To get the latest fixes you'll need version 1.0.32 or higher. - Pause buttons now work both for popup and task list embeds in pages - Can switch tasks in sequence mode from embeds - Smoother drag and drop - The duration can be changed now and it's not a fixed at 15 min. - Fixed the 30 min bug - When a task finishes, it shows you a popup to go to next task or extend current task unlike before. + many more fixes :)

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.
