Oshi Video Alarm — Complete Guide
If standard alarm sounds feel harsh, this guide walks you through replacing them with TikTok clips, pet videos, or any local video on your phone.
What is this app?
Oshi Video Alarm is an Android-only video-playing alarm app. Instead of a tone, it plays a TikTok URL or a local video at the time you set.
Common situations to use it
- Wake up to your favorite creator
Use a TikTok clip from a creator you love. Mornings feel less like an emergency drill.
- Soft wake-ups with pet or ASMR videos
If beeping alarms make you anxious, calm cat clips or nature ASMR are gentler entry points.
- Cooking and break timers
Use it as a 3-minute ramen timer or a 15-minute break timer with a short, fun video.
- Snooze defense — layered alarms
First a soft clip, then an upbeat one five minutes later. Layering makes you actually get up.
- Morning motivation
Workout or affirmation clips help you switch from bed to action without checking the feed.
How to use (3 steps)
- 1 Pick the time
Choose the alarm time and the days of the week.
- 2 Choose a video
Paste a TikTok URL or pick a video already on your device.
- 3 Test the volume and screen
Run a test playback so you know the volume is right and the screen lights up correctly.
Good for people who
- People who hate beeping alarm sounds
- Fans who want their morning routine tied to a creator they like
- TikTok regulars
- People who prefer ASMR or pet videos to wake up gently
- Anyone who also wants a video-based timer for cooking or breaks
Not for people who
- iPhone users — this app is Android-only
- People who need an extreme high-volume siren to wake up
- Setups with no network access if you only want to use TikTok URLs (use local videos instead)
Frequently asked questions
- Does it work on iPhone?
- No. It is Android-only right now. Android users can install it for free on Google Play.
- How do I set a TikTok video as the alarm?
- Open the video in TikTok, copy the share URL, and paste it into Oshi Video Alarm. That is enough.
- Will it play offline?
- Yes, if you use a local video file. TikTok URLs need an internet connection.
- How do I set the volume?
- Alarm volume follows the device media volume. Set it the night before and run a test playback to check.
- I keep snoozing. What helps?
- Set two alarms five minutes apart. The first one soft, the second one upbeat. Most people get up by the second.
- Are there a lot of ads?
- Core features are free. Ads exist, but they are placed so they do not block the alarm playback area.
A note from the developer
I build this as a solo developer. I read every store review and email. If your mornings feel a little nicer because the first sound of the day is something you actually like, that is the goal.
