Read full description

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 β€” 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 β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” 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.

Read full description

Mushroom Timer is a simple timer app for keeping track of many countdowns at once and sharing them with friends in real time. β–  Sync with your group in a room Share a 6-character room code and everyone in the room sees the same timers, updated live. No more asking "how much time is left?" in the group chat. No account or sign-in needed. β–  Organize by area Sort timers into areas (tabs) you name yourself. Search finds any timer instantly, even when you have lots of them. β–  Two-stage countdown: battle and respawn Enter the time left in the battle, and the timer counts down through it and the 5-minute respawn that follows. You can note how many players are in, too. β–  Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Active timers show up as Live Activities on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can check the time left without opening the app. β–  Notifications Get notified 5 minutes before, 1 minute before, and when a respawn is done. Choose which alerts you want in Settings. β–  Personal mode works offline When you're not in a room, everything stays on your device and the app makes no network connections at all. Available in English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.
