Piko · Android personal scheduler
Purpose of Piko: Piko is an offline-first Android personal scheduler and productivity app for creating and managing reminders, alarms, timers, notes, checklists, recurring schedules, calendar views, and optional location-based triggers. Piko helps users capture plans, schedule alerts, organize notes and lists, and manage everyday tasks in one app. Typed commands are parsed on your device, and core data stays local by default. Google Drive backup and sync are optional and are used only after you explicitly connect your Google account.
PikoFriendly scheduling for everyday life.
One app, six focused panels
Piko keeps capture, planning, notes, analysis, and timing in separate clear spaces backed by shared local data.
Home
Create reminders and alarms, start timers, or prepare a location trigger. Voice transcription never auto-sends—you review the text and press Send.
Notes
Use rich-text Notes, Checklists, Task Lists, attachments, Notebooks, Tags, and saved Multiview workspaces with search, archive, Trash, and linking.
Schedules
Manage Reminders, Alarms, supported Task rows, recurring series, overdue items, paused items, and completed history with direct card actions.
Calendar
Use a month grid, date lists, conflict indicators, and shared schedule cards. The current Calendar is a local projection of Piko data.
Insights
Explore completion, overdue, timing, recurrence, and reliability patterns. When there is not enough history, Piko shows an honest limited state.
Timer
Set manual timers, presets, intervals, routines, history, and notification behavior. Running state is persisted across the Timer panel and Android alerts.
About Piko
Piko is an offline-first personal scheduler and notes app. Primary data lives in a local Drift/SQLite database and local preferences. Typed command parsing is rule-based and runs on the device; it does not need a downloaded language model or a cloud AI service.
Core scheduling, notes, timers, Calendar views, and Insights work from data stored on your device.
Actions from a card, alert, notification, or widget resolve through the same underlying repositories.
Piko explains what Android access is needed, opens the relevant system screen, and keeps local features available when setup is skipped.
OS-managed behavior and unconfigured integrations are shown as limited instead of being simulated.
Alerts and automation
Piko combines local state, native scheduling, notification fallbacks, and explicit system-access checks.
Reminders
Use Open, Snooze, and Done from notifications, or work from the detailed Reminder panel with edit, reschedule, linked content, and close actions.
Alarms
A dedicated Android service owns sound, vibration, and the ringing deadline. Full-screen and lock-screen presentation depend on Android and device settings.
Location Trigger
Choose current, saved, recent, manual, or map-selected locations with an OpenStreetMap picker. Closed-app triggers require precise foreground and background location access.
Timer
Running and paused timers use a silent foreground countdown, while completion uses a separate exact alert for sound and vibration when supported.
Privacy by product design
Connected features are optional and use the narrowest access described by the current implementation.
Local storage
Schedules, Notes, Home thread entries, Timer state, settings, saved places, and related metadata are stored locally unless you explicitly export or connect Drive.
Limited Drive scope
Optional Google Drive sync uses drive.appdata, which lets Piko manage only its own private app-data files.
Focused permissions
Attachments and imports use system file flows. Voice, location, notifications, exact alarms, overlays, and lock-screen access are tied to the features that need them.
Privacy-aware surfaces
Reminder follow-up payloads exclude Note bodies and list-row text, and the Schedules widget can hide schedule titles while the device is locked.
Backup and portability
Piko offers local export and preview-first restore without requiring a cloud account. Drive remains an explicit optional connection.
.pikozip backups plus encrypted .pikoenc importsOnly Connect, Reconnect, or a Drive operation may request Google account or consent UI.
Choose what to sync, with optional encrypted backups and passphrase handling.
Imports are previewed and validated, with a local safety backup before destructive replacement.
Automatic Drive work is upload/backup only; merge, replace, and restore always require an explicit action.
Optional Piko Pro
Piko’s subscription panel uses real platform-store products and clearly reports when billing or products are unavailable.
Manual editing and everyday local control remain available.
Purchase and Restore purchases are handled through the platform store when configured.
Questions, answered
Core typed commands, local schedules, Notes, Calendar views, Insights, Timers, backups, and exports can work without a Piko cloud account. Internet is needed for OpenStreetMap tiles, optional Google Drive, platform-store billing, and any speech service used by your phone.
No. Typed command parsing is rule-based and runs on the device. The current product does not require a downloaded language model, a cloud AI service, a Local AI model manager, or a production Whisper runtime.
No. Piko requests the Google Drive drive.appdata scope for optional backup and sync. It is limited to app data created for Piko in Drive’s private app-data area.
The Calendar panel currently projects Piko’s local schedule occurrences. The source includes a calendar-sync abstraction, but the current production provider is not configured, and Piko does not request access to the device’s system calendar database.
No account is required for core local features. Google account and Drive consent appear only after you explicitly Connect, Reconnect, or start a Drive operation.
Notifications, exact alarms, full-screen alerts, overlays, Do Not Disturb bypass, battery reliability, background location, and microphone access each support a specific feature. You can skip setup; Piko keeps local functions available and shows the relevant limitation or notification fallback.
No. Delivery can still be affected by device shutdown, a dead battery, permissions, Do Not Disturb, manufacturer restrictions, operating-system behavior, location availability, time settings, or hardware failure. Do not use Piko as your only alert for emergencies or safety-critical events.
Piko brings local schedules, Notes, Alarms, location triggers, and Timers into one friendly Android app.
