Odaklio for ChromeYour focus, now in your browser.
Odaklio from your phone, in Chrome. The same account, sessions, blocking groups, notes and the same Odi. Plus what only a browser can do: locks for distracting sites, YouTube without recommendations, highlights that stay where you left them, one-click translation and page summaries.
- Desktop Chrome 120 or later
- Live sync with your phone
- Starts without an account
Every time you switch tasks, part of your attention stays behind. Researchers call this leftover focus attention residue.
A quick look at a feed can cost you more than the minutes you spent there. The fix is not willpower but design: decide what a session is for and remove the easy exits.
Illustration. The timer runs in real time. Illustrations are translated for this page. The extension’s interface is in Turkish.
A day in Chrome.
The easiest way to see what the extension does is to follow one day. The times are examples; the behavior is real. Each step links to the details.
You started a cycle
4 × 25 minutes with 5-minute breaks in between. The Odaklio icon in your toolbar shows the minutes left: 25.
Focus sessionsYour fingers typed instagram.com out of habit
Instead of the page, the lock screen opened: “Time to focus.” You pressed Stay focused and the tab went back to your previous page.
Lock screenBreak
The icon turned green and counted down 5 minutes. When the break ended, the second block started on its own.
Focus sessionsA lecture on YouTube
Study mode is on: no home page recommendations, no Shorts, no side list. At 14:32 you pressed “Take note”; the note was saved with a link back to that exact second.
Study modeA hard paragraph in an article
You selected the sentence, highlighted it in yellow and asked Odi to explain it. One tap added the answer to your notes.
Selection menuFocusing on your phone at the library
You started the session on your phone. Within a minute Chrome switched to protection too; a small dot on the icon says you are focusing on your phone.
SyncTwo minutes to the daily limit
You gave the video group 30 minutes a day. Two minutes before the end a warning appeared on the page; when time ran out, the site locked.
BlockingNight rule
The social media group is locked from 22:00 to 07:00. Same group and same rule on your phone.
BlockingThe day in review
The dashboard shows 3 hours 20 minutes of focus, a 12-day streak and the sites you spent the most time on today. Odi sees the same data.
Usage
Start in one click. Keep time in sight.
The Focus tab mirrors your phone: pick a mode, see the length, start. The session is written to your account while it runs, so it shows up in your phone’s history, rings and streak.
BlockOne piece, no interruptions.
10, 25, 45, 60 or 90 minutes. You see the end time before you start, and nothing gets in between.
CycleWork, rest, repeat.
2 to 8 blocks at 25/5, 45/10, 50/10 or 90/15. Breaks end on their own and the next block starts by itself, or you start it.
FreeNo time limit.
The clock counts up from zero. You decide when to stop, and it’s saved when you do.
Demo. Nothing is saved. Speed it up and 25 minutes pass in 25 seconds.
A topic or a task
Write what you’re focusing on or pick one of today’s tasks. When the session ends, mark the task done with one tap.
You stay in control
Pause, resume, add 5 minutes or finish. If you don’t want to keep it, cancel; the time isn’t added to today’s focus.
The icon is the timer
Orange: minutes left. Green: minutes elapsed in a free session or left in a break. “II”: paused. Blue dot: you’re focusing on your phone.
A small timer on every page
While a session runs, the time left sits in the page corner; hover for pause and finish. It hides itself in full-screen video.
It tells you when it’s over
A notification when a session or break ends, and a short sound if you like. Each can be turned off separately.
Focus earns tokens
Completed sessions earn tokens that go to the wallet on your phone. Sessions shorter than 30 seconds don’t count.
One session at a time
If a session is already running on another device, Chrome asks: finish it and start here, or follow it from here?
Start without clicking
Alt+Shift+F starts or pauses a focus session from any tab.
Distracting sites close when you focus.
Blocking groups are the same groups as Focus Guard on your phone. Apps on the phone, sites in Chrome; the group’s name, rule and strictness are shared. Change a group in one place and it changes in the other.
In focus
Locked only during focus sessions, even ones you start on your phone.
Always
Locked whether or not a session is running.
On a schedule
Locked on the days and hours you choose, including windows past midnight like 22:00–07:00. Add a daily limit on top if you like.
Daily limit
15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes a day. It warns you two minutes before the end and locks when time is up.
If a site is in several groups, the strongest rule wins: always, then schedule, then daily limit, then focus.
Demo of the group editor itself. Nothing is saved here.
Three levels of strictness
Short breaks open with tokens.
A 5-minute break opens with tokens; the price rises during the day.
Tokens won’t open it. If you really need it, only the free emergency exit.
Subdomains included
Add reddit.com and old.reddit.com is locked too.
Open tabs close too
A newly locked site turns into the lock screen in tabs that are already open. No reload needed.
Block as you browse
“Block this site” in the popup or the right-click menu. The site is added with the best-matching group suggested first.
Protect with your phone
When a session starts on your phone, Chrome locks too. You can turn this off in settings.
What happens on a break?
During a cycle break, “In focus” groups can stay locked or open up. You choose.
Groups made without an account
Groups you create before signing in work in this browser and move to your account when you sign in.
Seven ready-made packs
You don’t have to build a group from scratch. Tap a pack and its sites join the group. They carry the same names as the packs on your phone.

Blocking groups as they appear in the dashboard. “On phone too” marks groups that also lock apps on your phone.
You set the lock. Opening it should be a choice.
When you hit a locked site, Odi greets you instead of the page. You see why it’s locked and when your session ends. Three paths: go back, take a short break with tokens, or use the emergency exit.
Stay focused
The tab returns to your previous page. If there’s nothing to go back to, the tab closes or becomes a new tab.
Short break
5 minutes of access, then it locks again. The button opens after a short wait, putting a little distance between an impulse and a real need.
Emergency exit
Always free. No questions, no tokens. Every lock lifts for 15 minutes and then comes back on its own.
Breaks get pricier during the day
Today’s first break costs 15 tokens. The next ones cost 30, 60 and 120. Each price shows how much focus it equals.
- Your balance can go below zero, but never under −200.
- Tokens don’t work on strict groups; only the emergency exit does.
- Each time the lock screen opens, a line goes into the log, the same log as your phone’s shield records.
- 15tokens≈ 38 min of focus
- 30tokens≈ 1 h 15 min of focus
- 60tokens≈ 2 h 30 min of focus
- 120tokens≈ 5 hours of focus
Demo. No tokens are spent and nothing is saved.
Don’t close the site. Remove what distracts you.
Sometimes you really need the site: your lecture is on YouTube, your source is on X. Study mode keeps the site open and removes the recommendation spiral. It applies before the page appears, so the feed never flashes on screen.
Three options per site: Off, In focus (only while a session runs) or Always. While it’s on, a small note sits at the top of the page; turning it off for that tab is one tap.
Demo. Flip the options and watch the page change.
Seven sites, each set up separately

Select any text. The menu is right there.
Select text on any page and a glass menu opens above it: highlight in four colors, take a note, translate, ask Odi to explain, ask Odi a question, copy. Try it in the article; select any sentence.
Shortcut and right-click
The same actions are in the right-click menu. Alt+Shift+H highlights the selection directly.
Stays out of your typing
The menu doesn’t open in text boxes or editable areas, so it never gets in front of what you write.
Turn it off per site
Switch the menu off on any site with one toggle. You pick the default highlight color.
Select any sentence above, or use the menu on the sample selection. Click a highlight to change its color or delete it.
Demo. Odi’s answers here were written in advance; in the extension they arrive live and are saved to your chat.
Translation happens on your computer. The text stays put.
When you tap Translate, Chrome’s built-in translator is tried first: free, offline, and the text never leaves your computer. If the language pair isn’t supported or Chrome is older, Odi translates instead. The card says which one did.
It detects the language
The source language is detected automatically. If the text is already in your target language, the direction flips: Turkish text is translated into English.
Keep the translation
Copy it, or save it to your notes together with the quote.
Version needed
On-device translation works on Chrome 138 and later, for supported language pairs.
13 target languages
- Turkish
- English
- German
- French
- Spanish
- Italian
- Russian
- Arabic
- Japanese
- Chinese
- Korean
- Portuguese
- Dutch
Come back to the page. Your highlight is still there.
A highlight is stored by its text, not its position: the sentence you marked, plus the 32 characters before and after it. Even if an ad is added, the comment count grows or a paragraph is edited, your highlight finds the right place.
…every time you switch tasks, part of your attention stays behind. Researchers call this leftover…
The highlight library in the dashboard. Sample data.
Six colors
Yellow, green, blue, pink, orange, purple. Four are in the selection menu; click a highlight to see all six.
Click a highlight
Change its color, add a note (“Why does this part matter?”), ask Odi, save it to notes, copy or delete it.
Works on changing pages
In single-page apps, a page’s highlights load when the address changes. On slow-loading content it keeps looking for up to a minute.
Leaves no trace
The page’s code isn’t changed; only text pieces get a thin wrapper. Delete the highlight and nothing is left behind.
Highlight library
Grouped by page, searchable by text and note, filterable by color. “Show on page” scrolls to the sentence and makes it glow; “Open page” jumps straight to it.
On every computer
Highlights are stored in your account and show up in any other Chrome signed in to it.
A note you take in the browser is waiting on your phone.
The quote, your own thought and the source become one readable note. It lands in the notes list on your phone, always with a link back to the source.

Eight ways a note arrives
Select text, tap Note and write your thought under the quote.
Right-click, or from the popup: “Take a note on this page”.
Right-click a link and add it to your notes before you read it.
Add a note to a highlight or save the highlight to notes.
Save the translation or Odi’s answer together with the quote.
“Take note” on YouTube, saved with a link back to that second.
Add Odi’s page summary to your notes in one tap.
In the side panel or the dashboard. Attach the page link if you like.
⌘/Ctrl + Enter saves
If you don’t write a title, one is made from the first line, the page title or the quote.
Search and filter
Search your notes or show only the ones from the web. Notes from Chrome carry a badge.
If the connection drops
A note taken offline isn’t lost; it’s sent when you’re back online.
Odi, right next to the page you’re reading.
The side panel has three parts: Odi, This page and Notes. The Odi chat is the same thread as on your phone; a message you write here appears on your phone instantly, and the other way around.
Attach this page
The page title and address are added to your message, so Odi knows what you’re looking at. “Quote from page” drops a piece of the text into your message.
Summarize the page
A short page is summarized in one go. On a long page, the beginning, middle and end are summarized separately and merged into one summary of at most five points.
Explain and Ask
On selected text, the answer arrives in a card on the page. Your question and its answer are saved to the Odi chat too; “Continue in chat” picks up where you left off.
The This page tab
Time spent on the site today, lock and study mode status, the page’s highlights and the notes that belong to it.
Alt+Shift+S
Open the panel from any page. Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a new line.
You have the last word
Odi’s answers are generated by AI. Double-check them when it matters.
Don’t guess where your time goes. See it.
How long you stayed on each site: active time in front of the tab and audio playing in the background while you were elsewhere, kept separate. The data goes to your account, and Odi takes it into account when you talk about your day.

Sample data.
Three time ranges
Today, 7 days and 30 days. Hourly or daily charts, your top sites, categories and the rhythm of your week.
Browsing during focus
Shows where you drifted during sessions: “You browsed for 6 min of your 2 h 30 min of focus.”
Ten categories
Social, Entertainment, Tools, Work, Education, News, Shopping, Communication, Games, Private. Change any site’s category; .edu sites count as Education automatically.
Counts only when you’re there
While Chrome is focused and you’re at your computer. Idle after 30 seconds, 1, 2 or 5 minutes.
You choose what counts
Incognito windows are never counted. Never record a site, or count its time and hide its name as “(private)”.
Days end on your clock
Time that crosses midnight is split into two days in your time zone. Pause tracking whenever you want.
Your whole day on one screen.
The popup is for quick actions; the dashboard is for sitting down and looking. Today, Focus, Blocking, Usage, Notes, Highlights, Odi and Settings in one place.

It arrives instantly
Changes come in over a real-time connection, with a check every minute as well.
If the connection drops
Notes, highlights, sessions and group changes wait in line and go out in order when you’re back online. None are lost.
Your settings travel with you
Extension settings follow your Chrome account to your other computers.
Starts without an account
Focus sessions, site locks, highlights and time tracking work in this browser. Sign in and your session and groups move to your account.
Status is always visible
One limit: a session started in Chrome doesn’t trigger your phone’s app lock. The shield on your phone only kicks in for sessions started on the phone. The session still lands in your phone’s history, rings and streak.
On first launch, it sets you up step by step.
When you install the extension, a short welcome opens. Every step can be skipped and every setting changed later.
Hello
The extension’s three main jobs: focus and blocking, highlights and notes, and Odi by your side.
Account
Sign in with your phone account or continue without one for now.
Blocking
Pick from ready-made packs. It checks Chrome’s most-visited list and marks the sites you open often; that list never leaves your computer. Then choose when they lock: during focus, after 30 minutes a day, or always.
YouTube
Turn on study mode: off, during focus, or always.
Pin
Pin Odaklio to your toolbar so the minutes left show on the icon.
Ready
Start your first 25-minute block right there. When it ends, your tokens go to the wallet on your phone.
What it can see, and why.
The extension works on the pages you visit, so it asks for broad permissions. Here is what each one is for.
| Permission | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Run on all sites | The selection menu, highlights, lock screen, study modes and the page timer all work on the page you’re on. |
| Tabs and navigation | Knowing which site you’re on, closing a newly locked site in open tabs, turning YouTube Shorts into regular videos. |
| Network request rules | Sending you to the lock screen when you open a locked site. |
| Idle detection | Not counting time while you’re away from your computer. |
| Side panel and right-click menu | The Odi and notes panel, and the Odaklio menu on right-click. |
| Notifications and sound | Telling you when a session or break ends. |
| Identity | Signing in to your Odaklio account. |
| Most visited sites | Suggesting the sites you open often during setup. The list never leaves your computer. |
| Storage and alarms | Keeping settings, timers and pending records; catching the end of a session on time. |
What doesn’t change
- Incognito windows are never counted.
- You decide which sites are never recorded and which have their names hidden.
- On-device translation never sends the text off your computer.
- Extension settings are saved to your Chrome account, not our database.
- You can delete this browser’s time history with one button.
- You set the locks, and the emergency exit is always free.
Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store.

Write for early accessOpens your email app · destek@odaklio.com
What you need
- Chrome 120 or later on a computer
- Chrome 138 or later for on-device translation
- An Odaklio account for sync, notes and Odi
Can I use it without Odaklio on my phone?
Yes. Focus sessions, site locks, highlights and time tracking work in this browser without signing in. Sign in to your account to turn on notes, Odi and sync with your phone.
Does a session I start on my phone lock Chrome too?
Yes. If “Protect with your phone” is on (it is by default), Chrome switches to protection within a minute. The reverse is partly true: a session started in Chrome lands in your phone’s history and streak but doesn’t trigger the phone’s app lock.
Why do short breaks cost tokens?
Tokens are a balance you earn by focusing. Tying a short break to tokens turns the “just one minute” impulse into a small cost. The price rises during the day, and strict groups can’t be opened with tokens. The emergency exit is always free.
Will my highlights show up on another computer?
Yes, once you sign in. Highlights are stored in your account and appear in any other Chrome signed in to it.
Where do translation and summaries send the text?
Translation first uses Chrome’s translator on your computer, so the text stays there. If the language pair isn’t supported, and for page summaries, the text is sent to Odi; long pages go in pieces.
Do I have to block YouTube completely?
No. Study mode keeps the site open and hides the distracting parts. You can also put YouTube in a blocking group, for example one with a daily limit.
Does it work in Edge, Brave or Arc?
The extension is built and tested for Chrome. It may run in other Chromium-based browsers, but we don’t support them right now.
What language is the extension in?
The interface is in Turkish. The translate feature can translate into 13 languages.
