The long-awaited iOS and Android app for Tykr is launching which allows beginners and advanced investors to manage their own investments with confidence directly on a mobile device.
Hello Product Hunt Community 👋
I’m Sean Tepper, the Founder and CEO of Tykr.
My team and I are excited to officially launch the new Tykr mobile app (iOS and Android)!
Tykr helps beginners as well as advanced investors, confidently manage their own investments.
If you want to know…
• What stocks to look for
• What stocks to avoid
• When to buy
• When to sell
• How to reduce risk
• How to confidently invest on your own
Then Tykr is perfect for you!
To back up for a second and provide a quick backstory on Tykr…
In 2011 I began my investing journey. At that time, I found it nearly impossible to know where to start (If you’re a beginner, don’t worry, you’re not alone!). I also found it confusing to know the difference between a GOOD stock and a BAD stock. There is a lot of bad advice on YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, etc and it’s hard to know what to look for and what to avoid. Fortunately, I found the teachings of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and Phil Town to be very helpful.
In 2015 I started working on an Excel sheet and I wanted to gamify this sheet with a point system between 0 and 100. 0 being a weak stock and 100 being a strong stock. That would allow me to truly know what stocks to look for and what stocks to avoid.
Between 2016 and 2019 my annual returns ranged between 15% and 50%. As Warren, Charlie, and Phil teach us, we should aim for more than 15% per year. In other words, the Excel sheet worked!
In 2019 I shared the Excel sheet with a few beginners as well as experienced investors and their response was “When are you going to turn this into a software platform to share with others?” At that moment I decided to move forward with the idea and it took about one year to build the first version.
In 2020, Tykr went live as a web app.
In 2024, Tykr now has over 9,000 customers in over 50 countries and we’re proud to say our Trustpilot score is a 4.9/5.0.

Been a user for a few years now. I learned a lot, and Sean has been super.
The platform is clean and intuitive, the daily alerts are helpful, and this mobile app is going to be a great upgrade.
Tykr made me start investing, which I had never done before. I was scared, and I didn't know how to do it correctly. Now, it is also possible to invest on the go. Awesome!
@federico_carpeggiani1 Brilliant testimonial! Most customers are exactly where you were, completely new to investing. Our goal is to help them confidently manage their own investments like you. Keep up the great work!
Tykr has been a gamechanger for me, and the new app is amazing, the team behind it are doing a killer job of bringing new features fast. It helped me make my first few investments with confidence.
Right time, right place. I discovered this investing gem a couple of years ago and it just gets better. I look forward to AI integration and improving the investing edge TYKR already delivers at a great price. Add to that Seans immense passion for this project and the future looks better and better.
@william_jin thanks for the support!
We use OpenAI in the 4M Confidence Booster which is a tool that helps level up the confidence of investors so you can truly understand if a stock is a good buy or sell. It specifically looks at the 4Ms. The 4M analysis is inspired by Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and Phil Town.
Here they are:
Margin of Safety = This is the math part of investing
Meaning = The business model and how it makes money
Moat = How a business stacks up against other stocks in the same sector and industry
Management = The track record of the CEO
Researching all 4Ms can take hours if not days. The 4M Confidence Booster reduces that down to seconds!
Fantastic work, Sean! It's impressive to see the remarkable progress the platform has made. Wishing you continued success and looking forward to seeing what's next!
One of the Ms of investment is Management. I will say one of the first attractive the feature of the Tykr brand is the owner.
Secondly, it is about the product. Tyke was product that assisted me to have an idea what to look for in the stock market. Before then I do not look at stocks.
I can say for certain that it is a very useful tool.
DO you know that the owner runs a free Youtube channel that picks a stock and use tykr and the 4 M principle and analyze stocks? There is so much value from the community and I hope the brand gets all the awareness it needs to compete with bigger tools out there.
@9jaoncloud I appreciate the kind words about the management. That means a lot!
Also, thanks for the shoutout to our Youtube. Glad to hear that channel has provided value!
Over the years, I've seen the constant evolution of Tykr, as it consistently delivers on its promises. This powerful tool flawlessly tackles the complex task of analysis, empowering me with unwavering confidence to make informed investments in stocks.
I could say Tykr was my gateway to a more informed and confident stock trading :'D
Even though I still couldn't trade stocks (I live in KSA, and I think stock trading was really only made possible last year 2023).
When you register, they will send you educational materials
I live in the KSA, and it was really difficult to buy stocks.
I've been signed up with them for maybe 2 or 3 years now :'D
This is one fantastic piece of software for investing, particularly in the style of Warren Buffet, the late Charlie Monger, Phil Town etc. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. It's a great addition to my toolkit and really helps to support (and speed up) my research process. Not only is the software really good, so is the support too. A lot of effort has clearly gone into building this tool with new features coming out regularly. Good experience all round to date.
TYKR is a fantastic platform that helps investors like myself to find stocks that have great growth potential. It is like no other, a true gem and must have for investors!
