Nyoki! Mushroom Timer

Nyoki! is a lightweight timer for anyone tracking mushroom respawns. Drop in a screenshot and the app reads the capture time and the on-screen countdown, then works out the next respawn for every spot — no manual entry, no mental math, no distraction. [Why Nyoki!] Tracking respawns across several spots from memory or with an external stopwatch goes wrong fast. Nyoki! automates it with on-device image recognition and pushes the countdown to the Dynamic Island and the Lock Screen, so you stay on top of every spot without opening the app. [Core features] ・Screenshot import: pick a screenshot from your photo library and create a timer in one tap ・Automatic recognition: image recognition reads the spot name and remaining countdown, anchored to the screenshot's creation time ・Multi-language recognition: works on Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean game screens, and prefers the model matching your app language ・Shortcuts integration: the built-in "Create Mushroom Timer" action chains screenshot to timer as one automation that runs in the background ・Multi-spot tracking: manage several timers at once, ordered by whatever respawns next ・Dynamic Island / Live Activity: the countdown stays visible without opening the app ・Alarm mode (iOS 26+): alerts ahead of and at respawn, able to break through silent mode and Do Not Disturb ・Offline manual entry: type a timer in yourself when recognition misses or you want a custom one [Privacy promise] ・100% on-device recognition: screenshots never leave your phone, no image data is uploaded to any cloud ・Anonymous by design: no account, no email, no location, contacts or camera access ・Ads are served by Google AdMob, which asks for your tracking preference in line with Apple's rules ・Full policy: https://index.nyoki.app/privacy —————————————————————————————————————— This app is an independent third-party tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any game developer or publisher.
