About Us
We build tiny, delightful tools for makers, developers, and creatives.
Our Mission
In a world where software constantly competes for your attention, we wanted to build something that actively cares for your well-being. Poko was designed with a single goal: to make long hours in front of a screen less exhausting and more delightful.
The Problem with Reminders
Traditional health and posture reminder apps are notoriously annoying. They hijack your screen, play loud alarms, and break your flow state. The result? You uninstall them within a week. We realized that reminders shouldn't feel like a punishment—they should feel like a gentle nudge from a friend.
The Solution
By placing nostalgic, animated characters right inside the macOS notch, Poko transforms a dead piece of screen real estate into a living companion. It's unobtrusive, cute, and surprisingly effective at getting you to drink a glass of water.
Open Source Roots
Poko is proudly open source. We believe that tools designed for personal health should be transparent and community-driven. By keeping the core app free and open, we ensure that anyone can contribute characters, languages, or features.
