Tomato Clock

Last updated: March 22, 2026.

Overview

Tomato Clock is a Chrome extension and companion website used to run Pomodoro timers, optionally block distracting sites during work sessions, and unlock premium features through an advertising flow.

Data We Process

• Timer settings such as work duration, break duration, blocked site list, and premium unlock duration.
• Timer state such as the current phase, cycle count, running status, and remaining time.
• Focus statistics such as daily, weekly, and total focus time stored in extension storage.
• Open tab URLs and hostnames only to determine whether a site should be blocked during an active work session.
• Reward session identifiers used to complete premium feature unlocks after the ad flow.

How We Use Data

• To run the timer and notifications.
• To block user-configured distracting websites during work sessions.
• To save user preferences and focus statistics locally in the browser.
• To track whether a reward session has completed and temporarily unlock premium features.

Storage and Retention

Extension settings, statistics, premium unlock state, and reward session state are stored locally using Chrome extension storage. This data remains until the user resets settings, removes the extension, or clears extension data.

Advertising

Tomato Clock may direct users to a dedicated reward page hosted on novato.dev to display advertising used to unlock premium functionality. That page may load third-party advertising resources from Adcash. Adcash may collect data according to its own policies when its advertising is shown.

Sharing

We do not sell user data. Data may be shared only with service providers strictly required for the reward advertising flow, including website hosting and Adcash when the reward page is used.

Permissions

• tabs and host permissions are used only to detect and redirect blocked websites during focus sessions.

• alarms is used to schedule timer transitions.
• notifications is used to notify users when sessions start or end.
• webNavigation is used to detect navigation to blocked websites.
