About irotto

irotto is a time tracker that colors in the squares of graph paper as you study or work. Instead of a chart of numbers, the squares you have filled show at a glance how much you have built up.

How it works

  1. Add categories

    Add the categories you want to track, such as math or English, and pick one of 16 colors for each.

  2. Time your work

    Start a fixed-length timer, a Pomodoro that alternates work and breaks, or a preset you made. Work you did without the timer can be recorded later by entering the times.

  3. Squares get colored in

    Squares are colored in the category's color for the time you worked. One square can stand for 5 to 60 minutes (25 by default), and a page has 16 × 24 squares. Work shorter than 5 minutes is not recorded.

  4. Look back

    The stats page shows your monthly work time, daily average, streak, totals by category and when in the day you worked.

Features

Graph paper notebook

Squares are colored in with a hand-drawn look. Touch a colored square to see when that record was made and how long it was.

Timer and Pomodoro

Besides the standard Pomodoro (25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of break), you can build presets from work, break and repeat steps. A sound plays when a phase ends, and you can turn on browser notifications in settings.

Ambient sounds

Layer rain, a campfire, a stream, waves and noise with instruments like piano and guitar to make a sound you can focus to. Every sound is synthesized in the browser.

Appearance

Change the theme color, grid color, square spacing, how hand-drawn the coloring looks and the text size.
