Choose your integration format

Decide whether you want the fastest setup, a single bundle, grouped helper packs, or individual RTO_helpers with full control.
Product model Safe tab control RTO_helpers guidance
Fastest path

SDK Lite

Best when you want a guided start, examples, and minimal decision fatigue.

Single file

RTO.min.js

Ideal when one compact bundle fits your page better than individual helper files.

Composable

RTO_helpers and packs

Choose these when you want an explicit integration layer and a cleaner mental map of what each helper does.

Choose a format

There are four simple ways to start. Pick one strategy per page.

Format When to use it Open
SDK Lite The easiest start for beginners: one bundle, quick start notes, and starter examples in one package.
RTO.min.js The easiest one-file bundle if you do not need the full SDK package and prefer one script include. Download
Helper packs Best when you want grouped building blocks: core API, UI helpers, allow-list tools, favorites, or DOM tools.
Individual helpers Best when you want fine-grained control over the exact files you load. Browse helpers
Which file should you choose?
Use the SDK if you want the easiest start. Use RTO.min.js if you want one bundle without the extra SDK notes and examples. Use helper packs if you want grouped building blocks such as RTO.core, RTO.ui, RTO.allowlist, RTO.favorites, RTO.domtools, RTO.visibility, and RTO.formhelpers. Use individual files only if you want fine-grained control.

RTO v8.5.0 publication note

RTO v8.5.0 aligns the public site with the faster extension detection line and keeps diagnostics silent by default.

RTO v8.5.0 keeps the secure add-on channel introduced in v8.4.0 and adds the instant detection support files. Publication packages must include src/common/external_bridge_api.js, src/common/detect_injector.js, src/common/rto_lock_guard.js, src/common/rto_domain_lock.js, src/content/detect_probe.js and src/content/page_bridge.js alongside the existing background, content and UI files.

SDK Lite and helper files are now aligned with the RTO v8.5.0 public release line.

Individual files

You can also download a single helper file (useful if you only need one UI widget):

Recommended load order

Choose one loading style below. The most important rule is simple: load the core first.

<!-- Option A: individual files -->
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_form_api.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_connector.js"></script>          <!-- sets window.RTOconnected -->
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_domainList.js"></script>        <!-- allow-list API -->
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_favoritesList.js"></script>      <!-- favorites API -->
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_tabsList.js"></script>           <!-- normalized listTabs snapshot -->
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_openTab_button.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_openTabsListing.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_visible_when_tab.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_addRemoveDomain.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helpers/RTO_addRemovefavorite.js"></script>

<!-- Option B: packs -->
<script src="../RTO_helper_packs/RTO.core.min.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helper_packs/RTO.ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helper_packs/RTO.allowlist.min.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helper_packs/RTO.favorites.min.js"></script>
<script src="../RTO_helper_packs/RTO.domtools.min.js"></script>

<!-- Option C: one-file bundle -->
<script src="../RTO_helpers.min/RTO.min.js"></script>
Beginner pitfall
Do not mix three strategies on the same page. If you use individual files, load RTO_form_api.js first. If you use packs, load RTO.core.min.js first, then add only the optional packs the page actually needs (RTO.ui, RTO.allowlist, RTO.favorites, RTO.domtools). If you use RTO.min.js, it is already the all-in-one bundle.
About the existing SDK docs
This page documents the helper files and bundles currently present on the site. It does not promise any extra SDK packaging beyond these existing files.
