What is Tikolu?

Updated

Tikolu is the personal website of an independent creator who makes websites, Android apps, music, and "a few other things." The site works as a hub: it introduces the creator, lists contact and social links, and links out to a collection of small web tools, games, and utilities. If you are looking for a company, a paid platform, or a single product, this is not that — it is a portfolio-and-projects page for one person's work.

Who is behind it

The site identifies the creator as Tikolu and offers several ways to get in touch or follow the work:

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Discord server
  • Reddit: @tikolu43
  • Twitter/X: @Tikolu43
  • GitHub, SoundCloud, Google Play, and YouTube profiles

The page explicitly invites both positive and negative feedback, or just conversation, through any of those channels. The GitHub link is described as a place where some of the code can be found, and the SoundCloud link is described, in the creator's own words, as "depressing music."

What projects are listed

The site links to a mix of browser tools, games, and small utilities. The table below groups them by what they do.

Project What it does
emojimix Combines two emojis into one image to share; thousands of combinations
Edit the Text An online text box editable by anyone; inspired by a now-defunct HTwins.net tool

Spot the Difference A game where you pick the differing tile between two grids, with a leaderboard
i A minimalist image hosting service described as completely anonymous and free to use
Paster Instantly downloads a copied image as a file
MCPE World Exporter A Windows program that exports Minecraft Pocket Edition worlds when "Storage Type" is set to "Application"
Google Tasks Import Tool Imports Google Tasks from an exported Tasks.json file

Chrome File Icon A custom icon for file extensions set to open in Chrome on Windows
SnapchatExportTools Listed as a Python-based tool (description truncated on the page)

How to use the site

There is no sign-up flow or dashboard described on the page. The practical approach is:

  1. Open tikolu.net and scan the project list.
  2. Click the project you need — most are standalone web tools that run in the browser.
  3. For desktop-only items (MCPE World Exporter, ADB Installer for Windows, Chrome File Icon), follow the linked project page for the download and any stated requirements.
  4. For feedback or questions, use one of the contact methods above rather than expecting a support portal.

Things to keep in mind

  • Scope varies widely. The projects range from a quick emoji toy to a Windows installer, so "Tikolu" does not describe one consistent type of tool.
  • Some items are platform-specific. The Leaving Cert calculator applies only to the Irish education system; several tools are Windows-only.
  • Beta and experimental labels exist. Pixel Sandbox is marked beta, so behavior may change.
  • The page does not state pricing for the projects. The only explicit cost signal is that the "i" image host is described as free to use. Do not assume the same for everything else — check each project page.
  • No login is mentioned for the site itself. Whether an individual tool needs an account depends on that tool, not on the hub page.

If your goal is to find a specific small utility — converting an SVG, importing Google Tasks, checking your clock against a server — the fastest path is to open the site and go straight to that project. If your goal is to understand who Tikolu is, the contact and social links at the top of the page are the answer.
