I love it. The lifetime subscription is totally worth it. I love the website blocker, pomodoro timer widget, the hand drawn wallpapers in new tabs. Love it. Totally recommend!

Block distractions and stay mindful throughout your day.
Otto helps you manage your distractions and helps you stay mindful when your mind wanders by gently not letting you through.
You can block websites during a schedule or only block specific parts of the website or allow yourself some grace by setting a timelimit to browse.
Block any site during a schedule
Schedule websites to be blocked during certain hours or days of the week.
Block exact URLs
Block specific parts of the website while still having access to other parts of it.
Autoblock
Setup a countdown timer on a website to allow you to browse it until it runs out of time and blocks the site completely.
Unblock websites temporarily
Need to use a blocked website urgently? Unblock the website for a specified duration.
Browser first
Most of us spend a lot of time in the browser, it's where work happens. And somehow we lose our focus sometimes and get distracted by browsing the web. And then things keep piling on and there's more things to do now.
Otto works in the background, it automatically blocks websites that should be blocked during your schedule. No need to open another app, it's designed to be convineint
Mindful and Gentle
The website blocker is designed to feel comforting, instead of making you feel anxious or increase your stress, Otto gently prompts you that your mind is wandering again. Our philosophy is that instead of forcing ourselves to do something, we focus on being intentional and present.
Being distracted is part of life, instead of trying to control it we accept it and then we make our choices.
Made for ADHD'ers
Waiting, forcing, restricting — none of that works for you. Otto gets that. It doesn't lecture or lock you out. It just creates a little friction between you and the rabbit hole, so your intentions have a fighting chance.
Flexible and non intrusive
Works around your life, not against it. Otto fits into how you already work. Block what you want, when you want, and leave everything else alone. It stays out of the way until you need it — then steps back again.
What friends
say about Otto
Otto works really well for its intended purpose, and it's helping me fight my internet addiction and make better use of my time. The UI is very simple and clean, and the illustrations are adorable. It's very helpful all around!

Simple but effective. Easy to customise, nice passive incentives. It does exactly what you're asking of it and it does it well.
— Uriel
After using this for a couple months, I really don't have anything negative to say about it. Otto does exactly what it is designed to do, block distractions and help you be more productive. Even without the upgrade, it still works well to boost productivity.

Simple, reliable focus tool. I've used it long-term for blocking distracting sites and timeboxing work. It does exactly what it promises without unnecessary complexity. Solid option if you want fewer decisions and more follow-through.
— Kevin
definitely the best pomodoro timer i've used. i love it! the interface is clean and simple, and it's helped me stay consistent with studying. although, i wish there was an app so i could use it outside of chrome!

Love the UI, very intuitive and easy to use. The popup count down is super useful in motivating and reminding me to continue working. The blocker is also super useful, sometimes I forget I even have this on. Wonderful product!
