## What is PIYOPIYO Timer?

A gentle reminder. Without the sound.
Hiyoko Timer is a simple silent alarm and focus timer with a cute little chick by your side.
Set an alarm, focus on a task, or track your time at your own pace. Your chick will be there to cheer you on!

●FEATURES
• Silent vibration alarms
Set an alarm in a few simple steps. Get gentle vibration alerts without an alarm sound—handy on trains, in libraries, or at work.

• Repeated reminders
Choose how many notifications you receive when your alarm ends.

• Focus timer
Choose 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes, or enter your own duration. Pause, resume, take a break, or keep going for another 5 minutes.

• Stopwatch
Start without deciding when to stop. Save the time you spend studying, working, reading, and more.

• Activity calendar
Look back on your daily activity and see how your time adds up.

• Collect cute chicks
Meet different chicks as you use the app and build your own little collection.

• Live Activities
Check and control your active timer from the Lock Screen on supported devices.

• English and Japanese
Follow your device language or choose your preferred language in the app’s settings.

●NOTIFICATION & VIBRATION NOTES
Alarms use local notifications, so reminders can arrive while the app is in the background.
Vibration depends on your device and notification settings. iPad does not support vibration; it uses on-screen notifications instead.

●TROUBLESHOOTING

Not feeling a vibration?
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Go to Notifications → Hiyoko Timer.
3. Turn on Allow Notifications and Sounds.
4. Go to Sounds & Haptics → Haptics and choose Always Play or Play in Silent Mode.
5. Go to Accessibility → Touch and make sure Vibration is turned on.

If Focus or Do Not Disturb is enabled, allow notifications from Hiyoko Timer.
If you are wearing an Apple Watch, notifications and vibrations may be delivered to your watch instead of your iPhone.
Take a little time for yourself—with a little chick beside you.
