Task timers are just your regular Pomodoro timers, but you can name them. Any Pomodoro session can be turned into a Task Timer just by giving it a name.
Task timers are a Pro feature. On free mode, you get 3 daily tasks (15-minute duration).
All the features that work with the Pomodoro also work with Task Timers without any changes.
Managing multiple task sessions
You can create multiple task timers by adding them to your list.
You can start any task timer by clicking the play button next to it. And if you’re going through several sessions back-to-back, you can use Sequence Mode.
Sequence Mode: This mode lets you run task timers one after the other. Once a session is complete, you can extend it or move on to the next one.
Is Otto also a todo list?
No, Otto is not designed as a todo list or a planner. At its core, it’s a timer and a website blocker. Todo lists are messy, and honestly, there are enough of them out there already.
Think of this feature as planned sessions or a simple dropbox for the things you want to work on. You can add task sessions for the day and start them whenever you like.
FAQ
Do you plan on adding integrations with other tools?
No, we want to keep Otto as simple and focused as possible. There are plenty of tools out there if you’re looking for deep integrations with other apps. Otto is designed to help you be intentional, mindful, and avoid distractions. And you can only do that when it's not noisy. If we add too many features, it becomes an “everything app,” and that goes against our philosophy.
