Built for real mornings

Your bed is comfy.
Your life is waiting.

One sleepy tap shouldn’t decide your day. Tiko turns “dismiss” into a tiny challenge — and a better way to begin.

Wake-up missions

Get out of bed.
Get into your day.

Math, movement or a QR code in the kitchen. Your alarm only stops once you’ve actually woken up.

Need a hand?Our support team is happy to help.
01How does Tiko Alarm work?

Set an alarm, choose a wake-up mission, and complete that mission when your alarm rings. Solve math, find an object, scan a QR code, or move your body to start your morning.

02Is Tiko a good alarm for heavy sleepers?

Tiko is designed for people who dismiss alarms half-asleep. Wake-up missions, loud alarm sounds, snooze limits, vibration patterns, and optional flashlight alarms give you more ways to get moving.

03Can I download Tiko for free?

Yes. Tiko is free to download and use, with optional in-app purchases. Tiko Pro unlocks additional missions, sounds, scenes, and other premium features. Check the App Store for current plans.

04What is Snooze Penalty?

On supported devices, Snooze Penalty blocks apps you choose after you snooze, for the duration you set. It requires the relevant device permissions and Tiko Pro.

05Does Face Match upload my face?

Face Match recognition runs on your device. Saved face data stays local and is not uploaded to a server for recognition.

06Which phones can use Tiko?

Tiko is available for iPhone and iPad through the App Store. Features depend on your device, operating system, permissions, and plan. Android availability will be linked here when a verified store listing is available.
