Yellow Tomato — Pomodoro Focus Timer & Website Blocker

Overview

Yellow Tomato is everything you need to focus, in one tiny popup: a Pomodoro timer, an automatic website blocker, a forgiving daily streak, a simple task list, and honest statistics. Press Start and the system runs itself. The sites you've blocklisted go quiet while you focus — and come back the moment your break begins. Your first tomato of the day extends your streak, and if you miss a day after a strong week, a rescue day saves it automatically. No schedules, no willpower negotiation, no "did I remember to turn focus mode on?" Free forever. No account. No cloud sync. Private — your data never leaves your browser. ⸻ 🍅 How it works 1. Pick a task. Press Start. 2. For the next 25 minutes, the sites on your blocklist are off-limits — the blocker switches on by itself. 3. The timer ends, a gentle notification fires, and your sites come back. Take your 5-minute break guilt-free — you earned it. 4. Your first tomato of the day lights up your streak — and a strong week earns a rescue day for the odd slip. 5. Check your stats and watch real progress build: focus time, completed and abandoned sessions, honestly counted. You can change the focus and break lengths to anything from 1 to 60 minutes. Pause, skip, and resume work the way you'd expect. ⸻ ✨ What's included (all free, all the time) 🎯 Pomodoro timer Fully configurable focus and break durations. Pause, skip, and resume cleanly. Smooth countdown, not a once-per-second jump. 🚫 Distraction blocker that respects your breaks Add as many sites to your blocklist as you want — no 3-site cap. The blocker only runs while the timer is running. The moment you're on a break, the sites come back. Blocked pages show a friendly screen with the live countdown and a motivational message, not an angry error. 🔥 Focus streaks that don't punish you Build a streak of consecutive days you hit your tomato goal. Choose your own work week — Monday-to-Friday by default — so weekends don't break your run. Miss one day after a strong week? The streak auto-freezes with a rescue day, so a single off-day doesn't wipe out weeks of progress. Motivating, not guilt-inducing. ✅ Drag-and-drop task list Add what you're working on, reorder by priority, check things off as you go. Bulk actions to clear completed tasks. Survives browser restarts. Hide the section entirely if you prefer a pure timer. 📊 Honest focus statistics Every session is logged locally. See completed AND abandoned Pomodoros (we track both — most timers only count the wins). Total focus time, daily/weekly/monthly/yearly views, interactive charts, click any day to drill into individual sessions. 100% on your device. 🔔 Browser badge & notifications Show remaining minutes or completed sessions in the toolbar at a glance — or turn the badge off entirely. Gentle end-of-session notifications. Optional sound. Optional "Done" tab when a session finishes. 🌍 Three languages English, Español, Português (Brasil) — fully localized. ⸻ ⭐ Why people pick Yellow Tomato → "It's the only Pomodoro extension that doesn't ask me to make an account." A real complaint about every other major product in this category. → "My streak survives a bad Tuesday." The rescue-day system means I don't have to be perfect to stay motivated. → "I can see my actual completion rate, not just a vanity counter." Abandoned sessions are tracked separately. Honest stats. → "It just works." Built on a tested state machine — no impossible states, no race conditions, no surprises after Chrome updates. ⸻ 🔒 Privacy by design No account required. Ever. No cloud sync. No analytics or telemetry pings. No host permissions for arbitrary sites. All data stays on your device, in your browser. We can't see what you're working on, and that's the point. ⸻ 🍅 Built for focus, not for upsell Most productivity apps want your email, your data, and eventually your money. Yellow Tomato is built differently. It's a single extension that does one thing well, made by a small team at Productive Fish who write about deep work, time management, and the Pomodoro technique at productive.fish. We're not trying to upsell you to a Pro tier. There isn't one. ⸻ 🐛 Found a bug or want to suggest a feature?
