Tomo is a gamified learning platform that turns any curiosity into a personalized daily game you play five minutes at a time, building courses from your typed topic and delivering them via short lessons, quizzes, and streaks on iOS and Android.
What is Tomo?
Tomo is a mobile app that converts any user‑typed topic (e.g., “coffee brewing,” “Roman history,” “quantum physics”) into a structured course with sections, units, levels, and a mascot. It runs on iPhone and Android, is built by the Tomo team, and is free during early access with no credit card required. The app uses game mechanics—XP, streaks, and level‑complete screens—to sustain daily learning habits.
Key Features
- Personalized Courses — Type any topic; Tomo builds a full course map with bite‑size lessons, quizzes, and a clear starting point. You choose from five teaching styles: Bestie, Professor, Explain Like I’m 5, Storyteller, and Pirate.
- Bite‑Sized Learning — Each lesson is designed to take about five minutes, using spaced repetition to improve long‑term retention over cramming.
- Game Mechanics — Earn XP and small wins after each level; streaks and levels keep you coming back without relying on willpower.
- Teaching Styles — The same course topic can be taught in different voices (e.g., Roman history is delivered as a friend’s explanation on one style and a pirate’s tale on another).
- Topic Variety — Any subject is supported: sourdough, bonsai, octopuses, Byzantine empire, knot tying—not just languages.
- Free Early Access — Join during early access to keep Tomo free when paid plans launch; no credit card and no waitlist.
Who is it for?
- Curious learners with scattered interests — People who have “30 open tabs and no idea where to start” can finally learn the thing they’ve been meaning to, without committing to a semester or a course.
- Busy professionals — Those who can spare only five minutes a day but want real progress on a topic (e.g., Roman history or compound interest) rather than passive YouTube watching.
- Self‑directed hobbyists — Hobbyists who want structured, gamified lessons on niche subjects (watchmaking, knot tying) that no traditional course covers.
What can you do with Tomo?
- Turn a random curiosity into a course — Type “coffee brewing,” pick a teaching style, and receive a full course map with your first lesson ready in 2–3 minutes.

- Build a learning habit — With daily five‑minute sessions, XP, and streaks, you progress without needing to schedule hours-long study blocks.
How does Tomo work?
