Niko is a companion app for your Tesla: every control the car already has, plus the record it does not keep. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ YOUR CAR, IN FULL — AND FREE • Lock and unlock, frunk, trunk, charge port and windows • Next to the car, lock, unlock and climate go straight to it over Bluetooth • Climate: warm or cool the cabin before you get in, seat heaters, steering wheel, defrost • Charging: start it, stop it, set the limit, set the amps • Sentry mode, valet mode and speed limit • Where it is parked, with the address, on a map you can open • Tire pressures against the car's own targets, warranty, recalls and software version • Plan a trip from where the car is now, on what is actually in the battery — with the stops it would have to make, how long each one takes, and what you arrive on • Live battery readings: volts, amps, charge rate, time until full, and what a parked car quietly loses while it sits The controls are free. On Free, Niko can wake a sleeping car five times a day; Plus and Pro have no limit. NIKO PLUS — THE RECORD Your car keeps almost nothing. Niko watches while the app is closed, so there is something to look at when you open it. • Wake the car whenever you need to • Every trip from the last three months: distance, efficiency, and where it started and ended • Every charge from the last three months, and what it cost on your rate • A Live Activity for charging and climate, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Alerts that need watching between visits: charge started and finished, low battery at a level you choose, cabin ready, left unlocked, low tire pressure, a slow leak forming over days, service due, and software updates • Automations: rules that run while the app is closed • Up to two cars NIKO PRO — WHAT THE PACK IS DOING Everything in Plus, plus what your battery has done over time. • Every trip and charge, kept for good • Pack capacity, measured from charges Niko watched end to end, and how it has changed • Charge cycles • The S3XY Commander scanner, which reads the car's own CAN buses — the 12 V battery, every individual cell, the cooling loop — none of which comes from Tesla's API • The driving display: your iPhone shows your speed, the speed limit, turn signals, blind spot and more • Charging in the cheapest part of the night, on your rate • Up to five cars ON YOUR WRIST AND YOUR HOME SCREEN • Apple Watch app • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Control Center controls • Siri shortcuts CAREFUL BY DEFAULT • Niko wakes your car only when it has to. A sleeping Tesla keeps its range. • Face ID or a passcode on the app itself • Passkeys and two-step verification on your Niko account • Fifteen languages Niko reads your car through your Tesla account, and acts on it with Tesla's own key — adding the key takes one tap, near the car, with the Tesla app installed.
