I gave up on using Pomodoro timer mainly because of the lack of good UX. This changed my mind. Thank you for making this. 🙌
Is there any place where I can provide feedback?
@imkarthikk Hi Karthik, thank you for the kind words!
You can DM me on twitter since I'm mostly active over there :)

Just installed it on my work and personal browser! This is the most beautiful Pomodoro timer out there. Lovely illustrations! Congrats on the launch.
@soorajchandran_ thank you Sooraj! Hope you find this useful :) Please let me know if you have any feedback
@irina_evstratova Thank you! Do let me know what you think :) I'll be adding new features soon
Hey, Product Hunt!
It's been a while since I launched anything on Product Hunt. I've been wanting to scratch the itch of launching something again for the past few months now. And here I am, launching a new product. I've been working on this for the past few weeks on and off during my spare time.
About the Product
I usually get distracted a lot while working or doing anything in general and I wanted to do something about it. So I made a Pomodoro timer and a website blocker to help me stay mindful about the actions I take. The chrome extension is called Otto and it's here to help you.
Otto introduces a simple point-based reward system, in this case, its health points. Every time you visit a blocked website while you are working, Otto's health depletes. And every time you complete a session successfully, Otto regains health. The idea behind the gamified system is to make work a bit more fun and also to remind you every action has a price.
Features
- Work/Break timer
- Block sites
- Point-based reward system
- Insights (soon)
I've got a few more features on the roadmap, I'll update this post when they're live.

@iamnottheway @harowitzblack congrats ! Cool concept , the Otto reminds me of tamogotchi but based on internet behaviour
@iamnottheway @harowitzblack @graeme_fulton thanks Graeme! I got the idea for this from an extension called tabagotchi. Same concept of health points but its for the number of tabs opened
@iamnottheway @harowitzblack @graeme_fulton oh I hadn’t heard of that one! Using Otto now - will it have an api? hahah .. I think that’s my #1 question for all products 😅 ..with api we can make ottos battle like Pokemon ?
@iamnottheway @harowitzblack @graeme_fulton Hahaha like a global otto championship!! No API tho, don't know how it would benefit anyone.
Altho i'm thinking about a todoist integration since I've been using todoist and Otto + todoist would work well together, nothing is certain for now.
Website looks super cute & product looks useful .. Will definitely use it !!! Congrats @harowitzblack
@jamesivings Hey James! No, not yet but if there's interest I'll work on it :)
@harowitzblack anyway I wish your product huge growth to expand platform for Safari, hah :)
